Empath Stereotypes Redefined

I spend my time helping others who are newly diagnosed with chronic illness navigate their new world of doctors, disability, and isolation. I do everything possible to support those who are dangerously depressed, and I work to break down prejudice toward disability and invisible illness.

I've helped many friends deal with some issues. I've been told that 10 minutes with me is better than a 45 minute therapy session because I listen to them.

Created a business that supports artists, makers, and creatives of all kinds.

Each day, I do my best to use perspective in any situation I'm in. The world would be more peaceful if we realized we are all the same but living it up differently.

Spent my life fighting for economic justice. But one of my favorite deeds was winning a court battle for a woman in Tennessee to change the last name of her triplets to hers from the name of the father. The father wouldn't pay child support but would pay for a lawyer to fight the name change! And the mother worked three jobs to support her kids.
