In her early 20s, with all the complicated and unresolved grief she hid so well, her size 13 began to morph into a 285-pound woman reaching its all-time high at 325 pounds after the birth of her daughter in her early 30s. It was unresolved grief and trauma that led her down the road to morbid obesity, and other health complications to follow. But, obesity just didn’t affect her body, but later, caused deep woundedness in her soul.
After decades of struggling with managing her weight, she heard the call of God to go public about her obesity struggles. The Lord confirmed within her that that if she opened up publicly about the pain obesity has caused her, it would help others become free not just those struggling with obesity, but struggling with ANYTHING keeping them bound. She said YES to her call and B.O.O.M! was born.
Now, after decades of working through her grief, and currently overcoming morbid obesity & and now Lupus, not only is she prepared, skilled, trained, and experienced having first-hand knowledge of grief and loss, but now, she uses her faith, educational training, and personal experiences to minister to those suffering in their bodies and souls to turn pain into purpose
