My love for professional wrestling is more than just a pastime; it’s been a lifeline. Wrestling became a source of strength, escape, and inspiration as I fought through the physical and emotional toll of colon cancer, survived the trauma of domestic violence, and endured being homeless with my children.

The stories told in the ring of resilience, reinvention, and rising from the ashes mirrored my own. They reminded me that strength comes in many forms.

That journey is what inspired my Twitter/X handle WrestleFaith. It reflects my deep belief that faith, much like wrestling, is a fight. A fight for hope. A fight for healing. A fight to believe again. Whether you’re in a hospital room, a shelter, or standing ringside, I’ve learned that the wrestle with faith doesn’t always wait for the victory; it often shows up in the middle of the struggle.

Today, I combine my passion for wrestling with my mission to uplift others, bond with my children, and escape for a few hours.

As a member of the Acknowledge the Dynasty Podcast, my goal is to deliver a unique blend of facts, analysis, laughter, and heartfelt conversations, especially celebrating women in wrestling and the IWC, and highlighting the deep emotional connection fans build with their favorite superstars.

For me, wrestling isn’t just entertainment. It’s therapeutic, fun, and jaw-dropping.
