Joy has always been something I choose on purpose. After becoming a widow, I knew I needed a fresh atmosphere and a new beginning — a place where joy could rise again and remind me that God still had more ahead for me.

Travel became one of the ways I stepped back into life. I started with local adventures — long scenic drives, week‑long stays in different destinations, bike rides, and hikes that gave me space to breathe, explore, and rediscover the parts of myself ready for a new chapter. Those moments of movement became joy ripples that helped me rebuild my confidence and reconnect with the world. Now, with my first Oceania solo cruise on the horizon, I’m stepping into a new level of travel with a sense of freedom, anticipation, and joy that keeps expanding.

As an entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and Joy Coach, I’m passionate about creating joy ripples — intentional moments that brighten your life and naturally spill into the lives of others. Travel does the same thing. It opens us up, strengthens us, and sends us home changed in ways that continue to ripple outward long after the bags are unpacked.

If you’re dreaming of your first solo adventure, a restorative cruise, or a meaningful getaway that helps you feel alive again, I’d love to help you take the next step.
