A few years ago, I didn’t make time to take care of myself until I was forced to, due to a decline in my health. From that moment I told myself I had many reasons to live and I quickly shifted my mindset, implemented a self-care regimen, and remained consistent as I successfully achieved my well being goals.

Growing up in Nashville, music was all around me. As a child, I had friends whose parents were songwriters, musicians, and producers working in the music industry. My dad played bass, trumpet, and banjo in his younger days, so we always had instruments in the house growing up. Read more>>

In the middle to late 2000s the ‘maker movement’ had started to propagate around the world. Places like MIT’s FabLab, NYC Resistor in New York, and Pumping Station One in Chicago were places where hackers, artists, engineers, craftsman and creatives of all types would converge to share knowledge, collaborate and provide a place for these people to work on their projects in a supportive environment.

Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to go college for. Until my friends kept telling me that I needed to go for massage therapy. Then I saw a commercial for a school that was only like 25 minutes from me, I called set up an interview and a few hours of talking, I liked the program and enrolled to start in April 2011.

My first yoga class was not love at first sight. It was slow, but incredibly difficult. I was confused by words like “chaturanga” and “take your vinyasa,” and I was convinced everyone else in the room somehow knew exactly what they were doing except for me. Read more>>

My path to starting Clarity Point Life Coaching didn’t begin with a formal business plan. It really grew out of years of conversations where I found myself naturally walking alongside people as they navigated big life and career decisions. Friends, colleagues, and women in my community would often come to me when they were trying to sort through their next step. Read more>>

I am an only child, and I was the only grandchild until I was about 25, so outside of school, I didn’t really have anybody to play with, so I turned to books, writing, and drawing. My mother and aunt were always showing me different kinds of art, also. Read more>>

I was born and raised in a small town of Middleton, TN. where I graduated in the top 15 in the Middleton High School class of 2010.

I’d say about 2016 is the first year I decided to pick up a makeup brush to practice on someone other than myself. I was working front counter at the Sheraton Downtown Memphis & it was mandatory we looked presentable. I had a ‘work mom’ that constantly pushed me that I should do makeup! Shortly after I started with the cheapest kit. Read more>>
