Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes, those surprises lead us to places we never imagined. For me, that destination is PR4LIFE™—a coaching program built around personal growth and resilience, inspired by both my professional successes and personal challenges. PR4LIFE™ is more than just a program. It represents my journey, my father's wisdom, and a deep belief in the power of perseverance.
The Spark: From Retail to TV
My career in television didn’t begin easily. It was fueled by an inner passion that I discovered early on. After endless phone calls and sheer determination, I landed my first television job, all while still managing retail. I was just two weeks away from marriage, stepping into a ready-made family, and taking a significant pay cut. It felt risky, but something inside me knew the gamble was worth it.
Within a few months, I transitioned to a production manager role and eventually worked with top networks like ABC, NBC, Court TV, and, ultimately, my dream job at CNN. Over the next three decades, I had the privilege of producing gripping true crime shows, interviewing celebrities, and covering important stories. It was a dream career, and I was living out my passion. However, life, as it often does, threw unexpected challenges my way.
A New Chapter: Caregiving and Rediscovery
In January 2024, I received a call that would forever change my life. My mother’s voice trembled with urgency as she explained that my father was suddenly weak and in need of care. My father, who had always been my rock, was now the one who needed me. Over the next four months, I became his primary caregiver, guiding him through hospital stays, rehabilitation, and finally, home hospice care. Those 32 days at his side were the most difficult of my life. But amidst the hardship, I uncovered a strength I didn’t know I had.
Despite the difficulty of those months, they were a gift. I grew closer to my family, particularly, my father and learned the true meaning of being resilient. My father’s parting words to our family, "Keep going," echoed in my mind as I navigated my grief and contemplated my future. Those simple words encapsulated his essence: strength, perseverance, and an unwavering belief that no matter the obstacles, we must push forward.
The Birth of PR4LIFE™
After my father passed away, I took some time to reflect. My life, my career, and my priorities all seemed to shift. In a conversation with my sister, we talked about how we could honor our father’s memory. We each wanted to create something that would not only remind us of his spirit but would also inspire others to "keep going," just as he had taught us.
That’s when the idea for PR4LIFE™ resurfaced. Years before, I had sketched the framework for a this coaching program that would help people break through roadblocks, build resilience, and discover their inner strength. Now, more than ever, I felt called to bring this idea to life.
PR4LIFE™ is about more than just overcoming challenges—it’s about using those challenges as stepping stones to personal growth. It’s a program designed to help people navigate life’s toughest moments, find resilience, and ultimately emerge stronger. For me, it’s a tribute to my father and his unyielding belief in perseverance.
PR4LIFE™ Philosophy
Empowerment Through Resilience
One of the cornerstones of PR4LIFE™ is empowerment. Life throws us into situations where we may feel helpless or overwhelmed. But what if we reframed those moments as opportunities for growth? At PR4LIFE™, I believe that adversity can be the ultimate teacher, showing us the depths of our own strength. Whether it’s a career change, a personal loss, or a seemingly insurmountable challenge, resilience is the key to unlocking your potential. The power to "keep going" resides within all of us—it’s about recognizing that strength and cultivating it.
Practical Tools for Personal Growth
PR4LIFE™ is built not just on inspiration but on practical, actionable tools. When I was transitioning from my career in television to becoming a caregiver, I realized the importance of having tangible methods to cope with change. That’s why the program is designed to offer concrete steps and strategies for personal development. Whether it’s through reflective exercises, guided coaching, or community support, PR4LIFE™ equips individuals with the tools they need to thrive, even in the face of hardship. I believe that every challenge can be met with practical resilience, and I are here to guide you on that journey.

Embracing Vulnerability as a Strength
A crucial lesson I learned during my caregiving experience was the power of vulnerability. For so long, I thought strength meant holding everything together. But through caring for my father, I discovered that true strength lies in vulnerability—acknowledging when you need help, opening up to others, and finding courage in moments of fear or uncertainty. At PR4LIFE™, I encourage embracing vulnerability, not as a weakness, but as a critical part of resilience. It’s through acknowledging our emotions and sharing our stories that we find connection and healing.

A Path to Hope and Optimism
PR4LIFE™ is a program rooted in optimism. The belief that even in our darkest moments, there is a way forward, a path to brighter days. Hope is not passive; it’s an active choice to look for possibilities in the face of adversity. This program isn’t just about surviving life’s challenges—it’s about thriving in the midst of them. My mission is to help others cultivate this hopeful mindset, ensuring that they not only "keep going" but do so with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
