One of the greatest challenges I’ve faced was overcoming the pain of rejection—first from my father and later from my daughter's father. That pain made me question my worth, and as a result, I struggled to give my daughter the best version of myself. I carried anger, guilt, and a deep sense of unworthiness. Growing up with a single mother, I found myself repeating the same path, believing that love was out of reach and struggling to relate to God as a father because my perception of fatherhood was so deeply distorted.
It took years of self-reflection and healing to learn to love myself—first through acceptance, then by genuinely embracing who I am.
Through it all, my mother’s words became a guiding light: “You can achieve in spite of your parents.” She reminded me that I am valuable simply because I exist, that I was created with dignity and purpose.

EBook
For years, people encouraged me to write a book about my journey, both as a mother and as a Youth Worker.
When I launched my podcast, I knew it was finally time to give voice to that story and bring the book to life.
My heart is to inspire and empower young people, as well as those who walk alongside them, helping them understand their value and believe that success is possible, even without the presence of a parent.
