A JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE AND TRIUMPH
Welcome to Empower With Barbie, where barriers are transformed into stepping stones towards personal growth and empowerment. We joke that I am the Grim Reaper's favorite chew toy! My life has been a testament to the power of resilience. From overcoming near-death experiences, physical challenges and health scares to rising above personal traumas. Each hurdle has taught me the strength of the human spirit. My experiences include being struck by lightning, paralysis requiring two spinal surgeries, surviving being bullied, targeted by two stalkers and successfully battling an opioid addiction. These events have fueled my passion for helping others find their inner strength.
EMPOWERMENT AND HEALING
As an Empowerment Coach and Resilience Expert, I help individuals break free from self-imposed barriers using powerful, practical tools. My mantra—“The only barriers in life are the ones I put in front of me and above me”—guides everything I teach.
Together, we uncover limiting beliefs, reframe trauma into strength, and ignite your Inner Dragon™—that fierce, untamable force within you waiting to rise.
As a health and wellness advocate, I help you pinpoint what’s holding back your energy, focus, and well-being. Then, we create a personalized plan to get you back to peak performance—mind, body, and spirit.
And as someone who’s experienced caregiving from both sides—patient and provider—I specialize in guiding caregivers and caregiving couples through the emotional toll and disconnection that often come with the role. Using proven techniques, we work to rebuild connection, ease the stress, and rekindle what matters most.
Because life is too short to lose the right partner for the wrong reasons.
SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR
I've ventured through various professional landscapes - from being a signed agency model to flourishing as a spokesmodel and navigating the business world as a successful entrepreneur. My ventures have grossed notable revenues, reflecting my commitment to excellence in every endeavor.
As a successful business owner, I have a deep understanding of the challenges that come with starting and growing a company. I bring this experience to my speeches and my private coaching to help entrepreneurs overcome obstacles and achieve success.
