I know what it feels like
to be in free fall.
I was in the thick of it — definitely at rock bottom.
I had just had my son at the age of 40. His labor and delivery was traumatic, at best. He spent four days in the NICU, and when we finally came home, I slowly fell into postpartum depression.
My husband was my only support system. We had a six-month-old puppy we barely had enough time to take care of, let alone complete training with. And I had a son who needed me with a kind of intensity only a mama's boy can manage — constant, all-consuming, non-negotiable.
I went back to work when he was four months old. I was working from home to help with naps, and nursing him what felt like constantly — my lactation barely keeping up with him. My little guy would have meltdowns if he spent too much time with daddy and not enough with me. I was holding all of it. Trying to do all of it.
When he was seven months old, I lost my job.
What had felt like struggle all of a sudden felt like free fall.
My husband had quit his delivery driving job to be a stay-at-home dad. We had no income. And though I excelled at my career in software — I was good at it — I had always hated it. Now I had no idea what we were going to do.
What followed was eighteen months of thrashing. Living off early retirement. Buying programs. Desperately trying to figure out how to make money and still be the mom my son needed. Every time I tried something new, I hit every mental block possible and eventually gave up. It felt like I could do nothing right.
I'd spent years working on my physical and mental health. Most things only kind of worked.
Then one day I came across the Cellular Alignment Technique and Tyler Watson in a live webinar. I was intrigued. I read his book in three days — which sounds fast, but when you have a toddler screaming for attention most of the day, I assure you, it's not. It actually worked. My mental blocks started to shift.
I dug more into the CAT. I joined Tyler's Mastermind. I started shifting my life. Everything suddenly felt lighter. I could actually enjoy playing with my son. I could handle working on training with the dog. I started feeling accomplished. I started feeling like myself again.
I knew I needed to help other people move out of being stuck in their own patterns — and heal themselves again.
I'm now a certified breakthrough coach, currently completing my certification in the Cellular Alignment Technique. And I am here, sharing what I know with you.
