From Surviving to Story-Tailing

I didn’t grow up with safe spaces.
I grew up in the system—navigating survival, learning early how to read the room, how to protect my spirit, and how to make sense of a world that often didn’t.

I married the mirror image of the pain I had already known.
And one day, I found the courage to walk away—with four children and a relentless desire to give them something better.
Not perfect—just better.
A life where they didn’t have to fight the same battles I did, at least not with the same weight.

I didn’t always have people.
But I always had paper.

Writing became my sanctuary.
A space where I could rage, cry, beg, hope, and not be interrupted.
A place where I could lay it all down—my experience, my anger, my questions, my faith.
I wrote to God when I had no one else to talk to.
I poured my pain into pages, and somehow, those pages gave something back: clarity, direction, even peace.

Looking back, I see now—I wasn’t just writing.
I was surviving through story.
I was tailing my way toward healing.

That’s where The Art of Story-Tailing was born—not from a curriculum, but from a life lived fully, messily, and with open hands.
It’s the practice of turning your story into something you can stand on, not hide from.
It’s not about writing for applause.
It’s about writing to remember who you are—and who you’re becoming.

I’ve been the girl without support.
I’ve been the young mother clawing her way toward a different future.
I’ve walked through chapters of grief, healing, love, and new beginnings.

And now, as a counselor, a grandmother, a wife, and a guide—
I help others do what I had to learn alone:

To write your way through the silence.
To give your story a voice.
To see your life not just as survival—but as sacred, and a powerful narrative.

You are not just here to get by.
You are here to become.

You don’t have to be a writer.
You just have to be willing to tell the truth.
