In January 2020, my world unraveled. I ended a long-term emotionally abusive relationship, lost my job due to COVID, and found myself grieving, broke, and afraid. I was a single mom with a college-aged son suddenly back home. I spiraled into anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. I was 75 pounds overweight, exhausted, barely sleeping, and terrified of becoming another diabetes statistic like so many in my family. I tried Weight Watchers, Keto, LA Weight Loss… but nothing worked long-term.

After a rough battle with COVID and losing 10 pounds, I looked in the mirror and said: “This is enough." I realized no one was coming to rescue me. If I wanted things to change, I had to choose me. That moment sparked a shift—from surviving to healing.

I enrolled in IIN to study real nutrition, not dieting, but nourishing.

I went back to church, began counseling, and worked through my emotional eating and self-sabotaging habits. I stopped leaning on fast food drive-thru’s, diet soda, and sugar, and started feeding myself whole foods and water. The more I honored my body, the more I rebuilt my peace, confidence, and purpose.

I dropped from a size 20 to a size 10. I sleep better, feel younger, and live with intention and energy. My relationship with my son is stronger, my self-confidence is restored, and I’ve created a life rooted in joy and resilience. Now I help other single moms do the same.

If you're a single mom feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of emotional eating, weight gain, and self-doubt—know this: You are not alone. You are not broken. You can heal from within. You can build lasting health rooted in strength, confidence, and peace. The first step is choosing you. Because if I can rise, so can you.
