Brain surgery wasn’t even the biggest challenge.
Read “The Stranger Within”, my first post from my new In Between the Rhymes Substack. Subscription link in bio.

271 days after brain surgery, I stood under stage lights at Herberger Theater and performed.
I cried before I went on. I cried after. And somewhere in the middle…I found an even greater version of myself.
If you’re in the middle of something hard right now, I want you to know: the other side of it is real. It takes longer than you want. It looks different than you planned. But it’s real.
I’m opening 1-on-1 coaching for artists, writers, and anyone navigating a major life transition. If that’s you — let’s talk!

It’s time to be great. Link in bio. 💙
