About Kelly

Hi I’m Kelly,

I am a Speaker, Author, Freedom Coach, and an advocate for families living alongside addiction. I help families find freedom in their own lives, remove guilt, and empower themselves on their own journey of self-discovery.

Five years ago, I came to a crossroads in my life. I was doing everything in my power to try to fix, manage, and control a loved one's addiction. It took me losing myself to realize the only life I could save was my own. I was faced with a terrifying and challenging decision, yet ultimately, it led me down the path to freedom. Fear of the unknown keeps us stuck, but I truly believe once you take that first step, doors open where you couldn’t see them before.

 
 

In addition to being a spouse living alongside addiction and a mother of two, I, too, have journeyed through addiction and recovery. I have found through this that it allows me to see all sides of the issue and help come up with tangible solutions. Self-awareness, ownership, and compassion are key to moving forward.

You can't change what you don't acknowledge, nor can you create change if you are still in a place of blame. When I took ownership for my story, and learned how to implement boundaries, and let go with love, I was able to create the change I needed for my family and find freedom in my own life.

My children and I have weathered many storms together.  I've learned how to take our pain and create a life that is meaningful and full of purpose. This is the legacy I want to leave behind, not one of shame, but a mother's journey back towards her truth.
