ABOUT

A little about me.

I’ve been on my own since I was 16, so a lot of my life has been me figuring things out as I go. I didn’t have a perfect roadmap for any of this. I just knew I wanted more for myself and kept figuring out what the next step looked like.

Somewhere along the way, those little steps turned into a life that the younger version of me would probably be shocked to see. I built a career in IT, reached six figures at 22 and have continued growing my career and income ever since. I earned my bachelor’s degree, went on to earn my MBA and picked up quite a few certifications along the way.

But that’s only one side of me.

I love traveling, I really love shopping lol, and I’m always working on becoming a better version of myself. I’ve lost weight, gained it back and lost it again. I’ve fallen in love, had my heart broken, made mistakes, started over and had seasons where I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I’m still figuring some things out now.

That’s really where You’re Safe Here came from.

I wanted the kind of community I wish I had while I was figuring all of those different parts of my life out. Somewhere we could talk about the money and the career, but also the heartbreak. The accomplishments and the mistakes. Taking care of your body and taking care of your mind. The stuff we’re proud of and the stuff we’re still working through.

I couldn’t find one place that felt like that to me, so I created it.

Everything I share here comes from something I’ve actually lived, learned or had to figure out for myself. I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not going to pretend that I do. I just believe there’s value in sharing what we learn along the way.

You’re safe here.
