She landed in Saginaw from Detroit on August 9, 2022.

That day, she arrived at the Emmaus House of Saginaw, a sober living facility for women struggling with addiction. Shame, loss, depression, spiritual brokenness, and a desire to die defined her mindset at the time.

But God! He showed up and showed out!

She completely surrendered to the fact that she was an addict and that her life had become unmanageable. She began the difficult work of healing by allowing others to help her and show her a new way to live. With very little left to give, she poured everything she had into turning her life around.

Over time, she came to realize that everything she needed was already inside of her. Recovery was an inside job. She found a sponsor and began working the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. She started seeing a therapist weekly and immersed herself in her recovery journey.

At 18 months clean, she earned her Recovery Coach Certification. The selfish person she once was began transforming into the selfless person God created her to be as she started helping others find their own path to recovery.

Today, she works at MyMichigan Health as a Wellness Advocate, supporting patients who come into the Emergency Department with substance use disorders. Her goal is to help connect them to recovery if they are willing to take that step. The work fuels her soul, and she is grateful to be part of a team that welcomed and accepted her from the very beginning.

She also serves as a Recovery Coach at Tri-Cap, where she teaches six classes each week on various topics related to addiction and recovery. In addition, she provides one-on-one recovery coaching services to more than 25 clients. Through this work, she continues to learn, grow, and give back.

Today, her life is full of purpose.

Today, she is free! She is at peace. She is living in her divine purpose.

And by God's grace and mercy, as of June 1, 2026, she is 1,427 days clean!!!
