Hey there, Leading Ladies—grab a seat and let me take you on a ride from the tough streets of my childhood to the bright lights of Hollywood, and finally to a 22-acre homestead that’s now my heart’s home! My journey’s been a rollercoaster of grit, faith, and big dreams, but it’s brought me to a life of authenticity and unstoppable wellness. Let’s unpack how a city girl with a country soul found her true calling, Leading Lady Solutions style—because you leave the legacy you live.

A Slice of Heaven: 22 Acres of Magic

This property is pure magic—22 sprawling acres with a babbling creek that glitters in the morning sun and a peaceful pond where I can already picture us sipping coffee at dawn. There are horse stables just waiting for some four-legged pals (yep, I’m turning into that country gal who chats with horses—don’t judge me!). The land is calling for an orchard—imagine rows of apple trees, sweet peaches, and maybe some figs—plus a big ol’ garden full of fruits and veggies. Ahh.

Haha, let’s be real: I can’t grow shit, My gardening attempts usually end in wilted dreams and dirt under my nails. But my hubby? He’s got two green thumbs—he’s practically a plant whisperer! He’s already mapping out garden plans, and I can’t wait to taste the fruits of his labor while I wave from the porch, shouting, “Great job, honey!” with a big thumbs up, cheering him on as our homestead comes to life.

This land isn’t just about growing food—it’s about planting dreams and building a legacy. Our goal is to create a family home here that will serve generations after us—a place where our kids, grandkids, and beyond can gather, laugh, and make memories, rooted in the love we’re sowing today.

There’s also a beautiful space for hosting retreats and meeting clients, where I can share the Leading Lady Solutions magic in person. Picture women coming together here, laughing, healing, and stepping into their power, wrapped in nature’s embrace. And the best part? A second building that’s perfect for my new studio—I’m talking fitness, dance, and yoga videos for my Leading Lady Solutions online programs, filmed right here on our homestead! I can already see it: me leading a sunrise yoga flow with the creek in the background, or a high-energy dance session with the horses peeking in, wondering what’s going on. This place is set to be a hub of inspiration, health, and joy—I can feel it deep in my soul!

From Hood to Homestead: A Full-Circle Moment

Growing up in the hood, I learned how to fight and survive, dodging challenges on those city streets while keeping my dreams alive—it was all about making it through the day with my dreams still burning bright. I never thought that “more” would take me from the hood to stages in New York, pouring my heart out under bright lights, or traveling across the US, sharing my passion on stage with every step. Then came the dazzle of LA, where I worked on movies, soaking in the city’s fast-paced energy. But Hollywood? I was too rebellious and independent to play the game—I couldn’t bend to the rules, so I walked away. Instead, I created my own platform, stepping into the spotlight as the Conservative Bombshell on the Restrained No More Show, where I could speak my truth on my own terms. From there, I channeled my passion into running a performing arts school in San Jose, teaching others to shine.

I’m a true city girl at heart—or maybe a city girl with a country soul, as I’ve come to realize—living the holistic world with a flair for the fabulous. I’m the ‘glam girl of the holistic world’, strutting my stuff in high heels one minute, then kicking them off to dig into this homestead dream the next.

My husband and I had been soaking up the California sun for years, but I never felt at home in CA. Hubby was a native, born and raised there, but even he could see it had changed so much over the years—too much for us to stay. We knew we had to get out of there; the nanny state just wasn’t the state for us. So, with our kids grown, we looked at each other one day and said, “Let’s pack up our stuff and go!” We weren’t sure if we’d like Arkansas—honestly, it felt like a leap into the unknown—but we figured, why not? So we did. We had renewed our marriage and it as time to renew our life.

We ended up falling in love with the slower pace, the wide-open spaces, and the promise of a new chapter. After camping in a tiny apartment for a year, looking at one property after another, we almost thought what we wanted didn’t exist. But then we found it—this 22-acre paradise—and I turned to my husband, laughing through happy tears, saying, “This is too good to be true!” Standing on this land, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for how far God has brought us.

This isn’t just a property—it’s a full-circle moment, a testament to faith, grit, and the power of dreaming big. “From Hood to Homestead” feels like the perfect way to sum it up—and you know what? That might just be the title of my next show! Picture it: me sharing this journey (the grit and the grace), from city roots to country dreams, igniting other women to chase their own big, beautiful visions—writing a new story, scripting their second act—living the life God created them for.

It’s all about showing up, taking those small steps, and building a legacy that lights up the world—because you leave the legacy you live.
