Seventeen years in home care.
Maryland. Virginia. Florida?

I thought the timing was perfect... my Outliers moment.
But one phone call changed everything.

In this episode, I share the story of chasing the Florida dream, losing it in an instant, and the fire that rejection lit inside me. Sometimes the thing you don’t get… ends up saving you.

If you’ve ever been overlooked, underestimated, or counted out, this one’s for you.

Before this was a podcast, it was a decision. Two words I held onto when life was breaking in every direction: Always Up.

In this first episode, I take you back to the moment that phrase became my compass. You’ll hear the story of my grandma’s quiet wisdom, the day I almost stayed down for good, and how a simple choice became the filter for every move I’ve made since.

We’ll dive into:

• What Always Up really means and what it’s not
• The hardest season I’ve faced, and the moment everything shifted
• How to find your own phrase to anchor your rebuild
• Why protecting your direction matters more than any plan
• The blueprint step that helped me quiet the noise and hear my real voice

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the truth about rebuilding when momentum is slow, the ground feels unstable, and you’re not sure if you can take another hit.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to create your own anchor, something you can whisper on your worst day and still believe.
