Sixth Gear

Have you ever felt like you're on an island, with no one to understand your pain? We're all fighting wars no one else can see- whether for our kids, for love, for justice, or against the demons that haunt us. This is my story: a tale of dating under a checkered flag, wrestling with love and self-acceptance, and surviving a motorcycle crash that shattered my spine and nearly ended my life. Through every fall, I learned that our strength lies in getting back up, facing another day and refusing to quit. The scars I carry remind me every day that I'm a survivor and they can inspire you to find your own strength, too. Walk with me through my darkest moments and I'll show you how I found the light.
