Every stroke survivor's journey To recovery is different. Click through to see a glimpse into mine.

I Borrowed My Family's Belief that I would recover fully, even when Doctors said I could be a vegetable the rest of my life.

I started working in the infant room at TLC Early Learning Center, they provided insurance @ 20hrs/week, and I LOVE babies!

I met my husband and knew he was HOME to me the first day we met.

A website agency pursued me to be their account executive and photographer. I thought it was my dream job. I was top in sales, mentored the sales team, and 6 months later, I was wrongfully fired.

I was fired on a Thursday, the NEXT DAY, a client told me that I needed to be a business coach ... I believed what she said and registered a business that Monday!

I started working with VIP Dream Clients as a Personal Sales Trainer, “Sales is providing a solution to a need… and THAT’S IT!” When you're not the solution - be friends! Know what your potential Dream Client needs BEFORE offering a solution!

I started speaking around the US.

I became a Best Selling Author, an International Speaker, and a six-figure Personal Sales Trainer/Success Strategist.

I married my man, who makes EVERYTHING BETTER, in Mexico with a few of our favorites!

Our dream came true with the birth of our rainbow babe! #babyboysimonson.

On the same day ... my bro was diagnosed with Lymphoma.

Collectively we experienced a worldwide pandemic.

"Uncle Dodo" (my brother) passed away. He lived to the fullest, in every way. loved his wife, our family, food, a great beat, the earth, strangers (who became like family). The last word we heard him say was "BEAUTIFUL". It's how he experienced life.

We experienced an emotional tsunami - I learned that grief is like water and follows the path of least resistance.

After we celebrated my brother's life (JoelyPantsPalooza), my body went into a comatose state, and I lost 3 weeks of our life and my memory (June 2022)

I feel alive again and motivated to truly live life to the fullest, stepping into who I am meant to be again.

I speak to amazing audiences, in person and virtually, reminding them that "They are EXACTLY who their world needs. If they shrink back their world will go without!" and ...

I work one-on-one with Dream Clients to draw out their confidence, strength and determination to live the life they really WANT. Life is too short to settle for anything less!

I dive into my soul connection to photography. I listened to my Dream Clients about not “loveing” all of the brand images being alone and created the MarketingMIXER - a space to MIX UP brand photography - collaboratively supporting each other as the highlight & backdrop.

I’d love to encourgae you to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I am Exactly who my world needs! If I shrink back my world will go without!" Our world NEEDS YOU! Keep showing up, and I’ll do the same!

Rebrand the MarketingMIXER to “AmplifyHER,” A space to turn up the volume where women support women through branding, visibly, tangibly, and collaboratively. We co-create content and connection through a beautiful photo experience that captures who you are, holding the mic AND passing it! (a Mic Drop = solo branding shoots - which are still needed! Passing the Mic = Collab Branding)
