My Mission
After thirty-four years of marriage, raising 6 children, homeschooling, 30 years of homesteading, growing a successful educational homestead business, and founding a national organization for homesteading women…
My Comfort Zone Eviction was handed to me in March of 2020. At the age of 58, I felt I had lost everything. My 34 year marriage, my family as I had known it, my home and homestead, and my homesteading business career. I was devastated.
For the past 5 years, I have been on a journey of healing and getting out of my comfort zone.
Today, I can tell you, without equivocation, I am the most fulfilled and peaceful I’ve been in decades. I have found my purpose and I have overcome the fears of stepping out of my comfort zone to be who I am meant to be. I am surrounded by a healthy supportive community and I want you to experience the same!
I have learned what it takes to go from CoZE to Courageous! I would like to share with you the tools needed for overcoming your greatest fears.
A little about me:
I love all things “homestead.” I’m an animal hugger and baby snuggler; rock collector and “I’ll try anything once” food taster; hands in the dirt and learning new skills adventurer. I believe fear is an opportunity. I believe in exponential explosion within community. And I believe everyone has the ability to push past their fears to the next great success or adventure.
I’ve traveled through 49 states and lived in 9. I’m a retired homeschooling mom to 6 amazing kids and have proudly earned the title, Nana.
I spent all of 2024 living out of my converted Ford Focus with my dog, Piper, visiting homesteading communities.
I am an author, speaker, national/international educator, and an insatiable entrepreneur.
Teaching is my passion, learning my obsession.
And I’m crazy about watching others get out of their comfort zones to achieve their dreams!
