My Story

In 2019, my life took an unexpected turn. A concussion brought me into stillness, a space I hadn’t truly known before. Healing from this injury was challenging in ways I couldn’t have anticipated, physically, emotionally, and mentally. For nearly two years, I worked through complicated and persistent symptoms that forced me to slow down, face my limitations, and confront parts of myself I had long neglected. It was a journey that required me to peel back layers of people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and unaddressed trauma. For the first time, I was getting to know myself beneath everything I’d been carrying for so long.

But amidst it all, I was still battling a familiar and constant struggle, insomnia. For over 20 years, insomnia haunted me daily, bringing stress, anxiety, and a profound exhaustion that touched every part of my life. I had tried countless remedies and solutions, but nothing seemed to truly work. 

Then, in 2021, I discovered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). This approach transformed my relationship with sleep in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Conquering insomnia felt liberating; I could finally rest without anxiety, something I hadn’t imagined was possible for me.

This healing journey sparked a calling I couldn’t ignore. I felt drawn to help others find the kind of peace and clarity I was discovering. In 2022, I followed this pull, becoming certified as a Holistic Life Coach and Mind Body Practitioner, equipping myself to guide others on their own path to wholeness. I launched Crossroad Journey Home, a practice dedicated to helping women reconnect with their authentic selves.

But as much as I loved this work, I realized my own journey was still unfolding. Years of healing, single motherhood, career-building, and intensive training had left me exhausted. I needed time, not away from my purpose, but to rest, rediscover joy, and reconnect with myself more fully. So, I took a step back, not to walk away from my mission, but to deepen it.

In 2023, I felt a renewed pull to deepen my expertise and support others on a more comprehensive level, so I pursued certification in CBT-I. This added knowledge allowed me to bring together everything I’d learned, both about sleep and personal transformation into one cohesive approach. With fresh tools and a revitalized sense of purpose, I created Dream Big as a space where authentic living and restful sleep come together, honoring the full spectrum of healing.

At first, I tailored Dream Big to support professional moms facing sleep struggles and burnout, believing that narrowing my focus would help me reach more people. But as I tried to fit myself into the “right niche” for social media and marketing, I felt a growing disconnect. I realized that this approach didn’t align with who I am or why I started this journey in the first place.

So, I’m returning to my true calling, ignoring the trends and formulas, and embracing what I know to be real. Dream Big is here for anyone who feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or in need of true rest and self-reconnection, no labels, just an invitation to rediscover yourself.

Dream Big is the culmination of my journey, a place where restful sleep and deep self-discovery meet. My mission is to help people release what no longer serves them, reconnect with their true selves, and create lives filled with balance, peace, and authentic joy.

With certifications as a Holistic Life Coach, Mind Body Practitioner, and CBT-I clinician, I offer a holistic approach that goes beyond managing symptoms. This work isn’t just about sleeping better; it’s about living in alignment with who you truly are, building healthy boundaries, and finding joy in every part of yourself.
