“Traditional” wasn’t in my vocabulary as a kid. I was homeschooled 30 years before the rest of the world would give it a shot.

College began at 16. By 19 my father suggested I quit my job, leave school and open my first photo studio.

I knew what it looked like to take action when opportunity opens. In the 90’s my dad defied all challenges to become a successful first generation farmer.

His recommendation would become a springboard into many business opportunities, yet felt risky. Entrepreneurship would became fuel for all my curiosities.

An active imagination had been expanded through reading and creative writing. My mother’s investment in my education, specifically liberal arts still proves to be foundational. She could take a boring task and turn it into a creative new game at a moments notice. I look at each day with gratitude and excitement thanks to her positive reframing of any situation.

Emma Lyons recently shared with me, “We become the person we needed when we were younger.”

Imagination and intuition vividly colored my childhood. I was raised by a family who loved God and believed the spiritual world was real. Faith to my parents meant things rarely went to plan, but they always trusted we would be ok. My own faith would grow and shrink through experiencing death, heartbreak and multiple career restarts. A spiritualist named, Maria, came into my life and encouraged me to pursue a deeper connection with God through a spiritual journey. I went from a deep depression, unable to get out of bed to rediscovering my childhood intuition and imagination. These gifts are foundational for the work I do today.
