In this special series of Diary of a Dreamer, my dear friend Kelly Bell turns the tables and interviews me on my own podcast. Together, we open up “The Diary Unlocked,” where I share parts of my story that shaped who I am today: growing up in small-town Indiana, the lessons from my family, and the resilience forged through life’s most difficult moments. We talk about childhood memories, faith, family, trauma, and how those early experiences continue to influence my journey as a business owner, author, and dreamer. This episode is filled with raw honesty, hope, and reminders that your story, no matter how hard, can become a source of strength and courage. If you’ve ever wondered about the heart behind Diary of a Dreamer, this is the episode where the curtain pulls back.
