What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn More
Inspired to build a legacy that serves both today’s leaders and the next generation. As a mother of adult children and a grandmother, I create businesses and youth programs that help people understand and navigate their emotions, lead with intention, and grow through life’s transitions—so impact extends beyond success into lasting change.
How do you stay motivated?I stay moving, not motivated. One heart reached becomes a ripple—and that’s how I move toward impacting one million hearts.
What would you do with the $25,000?Use the $25K to build a lean team so I can move faster and stay consistent: $10K for a part-time content/marketing manager, $5K for a program coordinator for Grief Heroes, $3K for a virtual assistant (admin/outreach), $2K for a sales contractor to secure speaking/corporate deals, $3K for systems/tools, and $2K for onboarding/training. This shifts me from solopreneur to supported CEO, increasing reach and impact.
