Hi there! 

Are you ready to join me on this wild ride as I spill the unfiltered, chaotic, yet oh-so-rewarding lessons of our family journey.

We're a military family (though not currently active), I'm an ADHDer, and proudly a mom to some amazing Neurodivergent teens (yep, I'm a boy mom). Through it all, I've battled and triumphed over anxiety and depression. Life's a rollercoaster, and I'm learning not to take it too seriously. My roots are in the islands, so I savor life's simple pleasures – sunshine on my face and the soothing sounds of the ocean.

MY PURPOSE
My greatest joy is to inspire, uplift, and encourage you as we navigate life's crazy twists and turns together. We're definitely better together than stranded on our own little islands. I've realized that life's messiness often holds the most profound lessons – insights we'd miss without the chaos. By embracing life as its messy, beautiful self, I'm finding contentment in the everyday whirlwind of motherhood and parenting, and learning to live fully in each moment.

And speaking of anchors in this sea of life, Jesus is my everything. Without Him, I'd be quite the mess! I am learning to embrace the messiness of motherhood and parenting; to live each day present and content in my current season. Jesus is my everything and without Him, I would truly be a mess. That is why I am here to tell you , “No pain, no hurt, no difficulty, no storm, no dilemma, no mistake , no setback, no disability has escaped from the Father’s grasp. He uses everything.

OUR STORY
Now that you have read my funny disclaimer, I hope you understand that my knowledge is based on my life, my experiences living with ADHD Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) without the proper diagnosis until  now, at 43 years old,  my experiences parenting our kids who are both neurodivergents who both were officially diagnosed in their teens. It has not been an easy road for our family but we live by the quote "there are no mistakes in life, just lessons". My husband of 17 years has been our support system. He has supported myself and our teens with such patiences and love without even knowing our diagnoses. Now that we are getting the help we need with the proper diagnoses, medications and consistent mental health practices, we want to help other neurodivergents and their family members get the resources they need. 

OUR MISSION
Our goal is to educate and support parents who have children with similar diagnosis and challenges. My aim is to encourage my fellow ADHDer’s out there.
Our mission is to empower you beyond your disabilities and limitations by education, support, resources and a community of people who have been Forged by Fire (FBF Tribe). Forged by the fires of life. Forged in the process as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. We are forged as a result of our disabilities. We are champions, heroes in our own right because living with a mental disability in American can be an overwhelming, traumatic, frustrating and sometime debilitating. We have to spread the word and support each other. Together as a tribe, Forged with purpose. Like me, like our family , you can declare "I am Forge by Fire". My heart's desire is to help you function at your highest level -being the best version of You. God has a plan and uses everything in our lives for His purpose. Nothing is wasted! You are not defined by your struggles but REFINED by them. We are all being forged!
