Tell us a bit about your business.
I’m a Motivational Presenter and Bestseller Author-The Story and Life of an Ex-NFL Wife platform motivates, celebrates and liberates people to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones-I encourage them to get off the bench and get in the game of life! Through my words, work and wisdom, lives are positively impacted to embrace and embody their inner greatness. I interact, inspire and connect on radio & TV shows, stages, forums, events and conferences.
What gave you the idea for your business and how did it start?
The curiosity around my hometown about my life as an NFL wife sparked me to write and capture my thoughts in a diary. I decided to share my journey after a conversation with my mother as she was battling cervical cancer. After her death in 2013, I started compiling my journals and began penning the manuscript for “Reality to Rags to Riches; The Story & Life of an Ex-NFL Wife.”
