From Rock Bottom to Reaching New Heights:
My Journey of Transformation
Hi there! Welcome to my very first blog. I’ve been dreaming of sharing my story with you for a long time, and today is the day. I’m thrilled to have you join me on this journey.
Let me take you on a ride through the last 20 years of my life—a rollercoaster of soaring highs and gut-wrenching lows. It’s a story of falling down, getting back up, and finding a way to transform my life.
Two decades ago, I thought I had it all. I was riding high in Florida's real estate boom—working for a prestigious firm, rubbing shoulders with rising stars, and living the dream in a waterfront apartment. My social life was vibrant; evenings were filled with events, dinners, and drinks, while weekends were spent day-drinking on Miami Beach and dancing the night away. Life felt unstoppable.
But life has a way of throwing curveballs. The once-thriving real estate market collapsed, taking a chunk of the economy with it. Within a few years, my reality was unrecognizable. I found myself with a job earning half of what I once made, and my waterfront apartment was a distant memory. The close-knit circle of friends dwindled, and my weekends of sun and fun were replaced with a grueling new normal.
The downward spiral continued. Financial strain and a toxic work environment took their toll. In an attempt to cope, I began relying on prescription medications handed out by doctors. What began as a way to manage stress quickly became a dependency. The prescriptions piled up, each one meant to handle the side effects of the last, and I ended up taking dozens of pills daily. My health plummeted, leading to countless hospital visits.
These dark times were my wake-up call. I knew I needed a fresh start, so I cashed out my retirement savings and decided to rebuild from scratch. With just $3,000 and a mountain of medical debt, I felt a strange sense of freedom. My path forward was now entirely in my hands.
Sober and resolute, I returned to the real estate firm I had once worked for, but this time, as a consultant. Over the next few years, I worked tirelessly, juggling a full-time job with side gigs. I eventually left the side jobs and took on a near full-time role with a nonprofit. I paid off my debts, started saving, wrote and published a book, and began winning awards for my work. I bought a home and, most importantly, my career soared to heights I had never imagined—both in role and income.
Today, I’m living in a high-rise in downtown Miami, a place I’ve always dreamed of, and my career is thriving more than I ever thought possible. My life is a testament to the power of setting and achieving goals. Every morning, as I meditate and give thanks for my journey, I smile at how far I’ve come and how goal-setting has truly transformed my life.
This is where I come in. I want to help you achieve your own dreams and navigate your own transformations. Whether you’re looking to set new goals, overcome obstacles, or just find your path, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
If you’re ready to take control of your life and reach new heights, let’s talk. Your incredible journey is waiting to begin, and I’d be honored to be a part of it.
