What have you overcome? Share a little about your topic.
I broke a strong generational curse. I broke away from a toxic relationship. 31 years ago, my grandmother was murdered in the courthouse in downtown Milwaukee. As a result of a toxic relationship, she lost her life.
Fast forward, I was with my son's father for nearly half of my life (together 15 years, married for 3). I decided to file for divorce after looking at a picture of myself. I didn't recognize me. The stress and toxicity had aged me. To add insult to injury, I had a vision of my 90 year old self, rocking in a rocking chair. I was looking over my life and regretting that I hadn't lived my life. No trips, no new food, no new friends, no new experiences, nothing...that vision shook me to my core. At that point, I knew my relationship was KILLING me softly. And, if I decided to stay in it, I'd die sooner rather than later and I'd die MISERABLE. I decides to LIVE and not to die...
How did you know you needed to change?
When I looked at a photo of myself and didn't recognize myself.
What steps did you take to implement change?
The steps I took to implement change:
1. Hired 2 life coaches (one specialized in toxic relationships and healing)
2. Hired a psychotherapist
3. Read a truck load of books about narcissism, codependency

What is your favorite quote?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant gorgeous talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" --Marianne Williamson
