As a woman, I've been told in a hundred quiet ways, to watch from the sidelines. I didn't. I got in the arena.
Life rarely goes the way we plan. A body that surprises you. Grief that rearranges you. Motherhood that cracks you open. These transitions are where life actually happens. For me it was growing up with a disability, having my self esteem crushed on national television, and then experiencing the devastating loss of our first baby. If you're reading this and thinking to yourself "this is me," I see you.
Through it all, today I'm a mom who brings her family along for ALL of life's adventures. I show other women and families what's possible when you refuse to let labels shrink your world.

If you know my name, there's a good chance it started with a rose ceremony.
I was the first contestant with a physical disability in Bachelor history; and for a long time, that was the headline. But the real story started after the show.
I left my career in advertising and built a career sharing the vulnerable and authentic sides of life that women could deeply relate to; navigating a body or a life that didn't go according to plan.
