Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My twin sister who’s been battling addiction for over 20 years. The families of those suffering -To bring inspiration to other people & educate them on the benefits of functional medicine. We don’t all have to follow the leader in the way NA /AA see fit. I have seen the success but not for everyone. I have plans for a different approach of healing. The ultimate goal is a nonprofit for all of us affected. Using or on the sidelines. I’d love more compassion than judgement

How do you stay motivated?

I think of my children. As a mother of five, I’ve learned the true meaning of resilience, love, and strength . I see pieces of myself in each one of them. I want them to see me—to understand my dedication for what I believe in . To understand that everything I do is for them. Like so many, I’ve faced challenges but they remind me why I keep going. They push me to work harder, dream bigger, and never stop growing.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Immediately open our first office . Offering support for EVERYONE affected by addictions . Families don’t get enough support . Addicts are put on more controlled substances instead of functional medicine. We need to bring families back together. Give everyone the correct resources they need individually. Run & operated only by recovered addicts or passionate about this cause. Never giving up hope while giving others a chance to rebuild
