Around here, we live by my motto: Not Today Life.
It’s about refusing to let the worst moments define you—and instead using them to fuel your comeback.
This is where I share the real stories, raw conversations, and proven tools that help you rise—stronger, smarter, and more unstoppable than before. Whether you’re here for my podcast, a speaking event, or just looking for the reminder that you can get back up—you’re in the right place.
I’ve survived life-threatening and near-death moments, multiple cancers, strokes, brain aneurysms, along with divorce, financial rock bottom, and more obstacles than I can count. Life’s hit me hard, but here’s what I know:
When the world knocks you down, you have two choices. Stay there, or rise.
Choosing to rise means refusing to be defined by your hardest moments. It’s deciding that your story isn’t over, that you still have a fight left in you, and that “Not Today Life” isn’t just a mantra, it’s a way forward.

InShock shares raw stories of life’s hardest moments—loss, setbacks, and challenges—and how people rise again with resilience, mindset shifts, and practical tools.
Over the years, I’ve learned you should never give up on yourself. Life’s hardest hits don’t just test us—they shape us. They can break us, yes, but they can also make us stronger. I’ve lived this philosophy through relentless battles—breast cancer twice, melanoma, strokes, brain aneurysms, and even a near-death experience after giving birth. For over 25 years, I thrived in high-pressure corporate sales while also building a career as a fitness coach and competitive bodybuilder, learning firsthand how nutrition, mindset, and movement can transform health and resilience. Now, I share those lessons through my InShock podcast and speaking engagements, helping people face the unthinkable with grit, humor, and a refusal to quit. My mission is simple: to show others that no matter how hard life hits, you can rise—stronger, smarter, and more unstoppable than before.
