At 20, I was newly married and isolated in a city with no friends and no family. My marriage was emotionally abusive, and my dreams of becoming an attorney were crumbling fast. I was barely surviving paycheck to paycheck while silently planning my escape.
I spent over 2 years stashing money to leave and when I finally told my husband I was done, he pulled a gun on me. Calm and composed, I said what he wanted to hear. He didn't pull the trigger so I had a chance to do something big. That moment changed everything.
After filing for divorce, I packed my car, drove to Arizona, and never looked back.
Starting over was brutal. No money. No family support. Just the determination to rebuild from scratch. I was too young to let that be my story, and the fear of depending on someone again was stronger than any other fear I had.
When a friend's mom casually mentioned getting her nail license and suggested I join her, I said yes. That simple "yes" changed my entire life.
What started as survival became my calling. I discovered I wasn't just DAMN good at doing nails—I was GREAT at business. Within six months, I had replaced my full-time income and in three years, I opened my own salon (KrazyNails) with over 100+ loyal clients who saw me every 2-3 weeks.
I saved every tip and followed a strict budget
I knew exactly what I needed to make weekly to pay my bills
I had a financial advisor, tax professional, and attorney from the beginning
My customer service and communication were everything
Never missed appointments or calls
I rewarded referrals like they were gold
From that foundation, I built four more businesses, bought three homes, traveled to over 30 countries, and created the life I once only dreamed of. I've been my own boss for over 30 years, written books, trained and spoken to thousands, and most importantly—I've never had to depend on anyone again.
Today, I see too many talented people—especially women—entering business with passion but no foundation. They have the skills but lack the systems. That's why they fail, and that's exactly what I'm here to change.
My Mission: To give you what I had to figure out the hard way. Whether that's through my expertise in salon success, book writing, solo travel, or connecting you with someone in my 30+ year network who can help—I'm here to be your friend with the "hook-up".
The Bottom Line: If I can go from having a gun pulled on me to building multiple six-figure businesses, traveling the world solo, and retiring before 50—you can build whatever life you're dreaming of too.
You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to be smart enough to ask the right people for help.
