When I adopted George from Romania, I was full of hope.

I believed I was giving a disadvantaged child a beautiful life. I imagined completing our family. I imagined giving my older son a little brother.

Instead, George arrived carrying wounds far deeper than I understood.

What followed was not the story I had dreamed of. It was a season of survival. Of learning about fetal alcohol syndrome, autism, attachment disorder — and the unpredictable storms that trauma can bring into a home.

We came to call it “Hurricane George.”

Not because we didn’t love him.
But because love alone was not enough to calm what trauma had built inside him.

That journey - the dreams, the heartbreak, the resilience became the foundation of When the Bough Breaks.

I didn’t write it to shock anyone.
I wrote it to tell the truth.
And to let other families know they are not alone in the complicated, messy, sacred work of raising children with profound needs.

Some stories are not what we expected.
But they still deserve to be told.

People sometimes ask me what made me decide to write my book.

The truth is, when the dust finally settled and we realized we had survived what I often call “Hurricane George,” I understood something clearly: I had words. And I had a responsibility.

George is safe. He is cared for. He is where he needs to be. And in that space of stability, I realized our story wasn’t just ours anymore.

There are thousands of families quietly living with broken adoptions, profound disabilities, behavioral challenges, and deep emotional strain. And too many of them feel alone. They don’t talk about it not because they don’t want to, but because it feels too complicated, too painful, too misunderstood.

I wrote my book to shed light.
To tell the truth.
To let someone out there know they are not broken and they are not alone.

Some stories are hard to tell. But silence helps no one.

Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Joanne Lockwood. We dive deep into the challenges and triumphs of raising a child with special needs.

The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How adopting a child from Romania turned into a decades-long exercise in survival and discovery of inner strength."

Can't wait for you to hear the full episode, coming soon!

Raising and planning for a child with significant support needs teaches you very quickly where systems work… and where they don’t.

Many families are given information, paperwork, and “resources,” but very little actual guidance. The hoops are endless. The waiting lists are long. And too often, parents are left to fight alone while trying to do what’s best for their child.

Sometimes, the hardest decisions are also the most loving ones. Stability matters. Familiar environments matter. And access to real, consistent support matters not just for our loved ones, but for caregivers too.

Planning ahead isn’t about giving up control.
It’s about protecting everyone involved - emotionally, legally, and practically.

Because advocacy doesn’t stop at today. It plans for tomorrow.

I had a mentor who saw something in me before I fully saw it myself.

He taught me estate planning and probate, trusted me enough to send me home to study for the Florida Bar, and gave me the space to grow into the work I was meant to do. That kind of generosity changes a life.

That mentorship gave me my wings. It led me to an area of law where I could actually solve problems, build real relationships, and walk alongside people through moments that matter. We laugh, we cry, we hug and that human connection is at the heart of everything I do.

I’m forever grateful for the people who believed in me early on.
Their faith shaped my path and my purpose.

AOEF is doing important, meaningful work in the world, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside an organization committed to creating real, lasting impact for children who deserve every chance.

Thank you for the trust. I’m proud to serve.

Most people aren’t avoiding estate planning because they don’t care.
They’re avoiding it because they’re overwhelmed.

The anxiety usually isn’t about death.
It’s about uncertainty.
Not knowing where to start.
Not knowing what actually matters right now.

Clarity doesn’t rush you.
It doesn’t force decisions before you’re ready.
It simply gives you a place to stand - and that’s often all people need to move forward.

Choosing clarity is an act of love.
For yourself.
And for the people who rely on you.

This Valentine’s season, consider a gift that actually lasts: peace of mind.

Yes, Dave Ramsey, you are correct! But not just a will. If we are looking at your will, at least in Florida, and you are gone, we are looking at Probate. Let's get all the documents done.

What happens if something happens to you and you live? Who will make your health care decisions if you are unable? What about your day to day life, like groceries, paying your bills, perhaps even making assisted living arrangements.

Estate planning is so much more than planning for death. It is also about planning for life. There is so much in life that we cannot control, let us at least put the documents in place that will protect our lives, our loved ones and our legacies.

A will isn’t something reserved only for people with children or a lot of money. It’s something every adult needs to have in place.

Setting up a will does not have to be expensive or time consuming. I’ve partnered with an excellent company that will help you create a state-specific will easily online. https://ramsey.solutions/Get_Your_Will And you can use promo code WILL25 for 25% off. Don’t put this off!

One of the biggest misconceptions about estate planning is this:

“I’m not rich enough to need one.”

That belief stops far too many people from planning and it’s simply not true.

Estate planning isn’t just about what happens to your assets when you die. It’s about what happens while you’re still alive - especially as we age. Who makes financial decisions if you can’t? Who speaks for you medically? And what happens if you leave those choices to chance?

The reality is, as we get older, many of us will need help at some point with finances, healthcare decisions, or both. And the worst time to figure that out is during a crisis.

This moment comes from my conversation with Denny Artache on The Denny Artache Show, where we unpack why estate planning is about clarity, dignity, and peace of mind - not wealth.

Because planning isn’t about fear.
It’s about taking care of the people you love - including yourself.
