Welcome to Happy Easier — a space for people who want practical tools to feel more in control of their health, emotions, and everyday life. I’m not here to sell you perfection or toxic positivity. I’m here to help you build a life that feels good — even when it’s not picture-perfect.

My own path wasn’t a straight line. I was labeled a “lost cause” in high school — expelled after sophomore year with a GPA under 1. That should’ve been the end of the story, but it wasn’t. I landed in an alternative school, where teachers actually saw potential in me. That was my turning point. I stopped letting people define me, and I started showing up for myself.

I went on to earn a degree in journalism, then pivoted into nursing. Seven years in the ER taught me more about resilience, mortality, and what actually matters than any textbook ever could. Now, as a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with hard-earned life experience to help others get unstuck.

I’m still growing. I’m raising kids, nurturing a marriage, and figuring things out as I go — just like you. But I’ve learned that happiness doesn’t have to be this huge, complicated thing. It’s about boundaries, mindset, and daily choices that actually support your mental and physical health.
At Happy Easier, I share what’s worked for me — and what’s backed by science — to help you build a life that’s less overwhelming and more aligned with who you really are.

Let’s cut through the noise and get real about what it takes to feel better.
