The Day My Life Ended—And Began

If you looked at my life today in 2026, you’d see a college student, a homemaker, a proud dog mom, and a woman who walks
with God. But six years ago, I was a completely different person.

Back in 2020, I was working six days a week at a dealership in Billings, running myself into the ground. Sobriety wasn’t even on my radar. I was living the fast life—the female version of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

On June 11th, 2020, the brakes slammed on everything.

I suffered a massive medical emergency that ended my career in a heartbeat. It started with my first life flight for two blood clots on my brain. I was discharged, but within forty-eight hours, I was on a second life flight. This time, my brain was bleeding.

I woke up from a 10-day coma having missed my 25th birthday and the 4th of July. The final tally was six brain clots, two bleeds, a stroke, and brain surgery.

Rebuilding was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Seeing quadruple of everything, unable to feed myself or take care of my basic needs, I had to fight through six months of physical therapy just to get my right side working again.

It was devastating. But looking back now, it was the exact moment a new leaf was turned over. Out of total chaos, I found my faith, found my sobriety, and found a version of myself I never knew existed.

I’m starting this blog to share that journey. I’m here to lay out the real story, lighten spirits where I can, and hopefully provide a bit of a guiding light for anyone else navigating their own turning point.

Lets get it!
