Stepping out: "I founded a motivational company, which focuses on personal development and self-empowerment. I found myself in a very rough place two years ago. I wasn't happy with what was going on in my life. I just made myself do what I said I was going to do ... The book was at the top of the list, and that's
when I decided to start the company. I always wanted to write a book. I've always wanted to help women."
