A Little About Me

I grew up in a small Tennessee town with a compassionate spirit and a deep desire to help others. But my journey has been far from perfect — as a teenager, I battled addiction to methamphetamine and cocaine. Those years taught me humility, resilience, and the power of transformation. What once felt like my greatest weakness became the foundation for my strength, both personally and professionally.

I believe people connect most with presence, not perfection. My mission is to show others when you lead with love and transparency, you will never walk alone. I help others find meaning from their suffering and see that not only is healing within their reach, but that their story can become their strength too.

Today, I’m an author, inspirational speaker, and advocate for recovery, mental health, and self-empowerment. My Amazon buzz-worthy books, You Are a Queen: Transform Your Pain into Power and Celia's Eyes: A Life of Love, Drugs and Redemption invite readers to reclaim their worth and rewrite their story. I also host the podcast Love Waits for You (returning soon!) and serve on the board for CASA in my community, an organization dedicated to helping abused and neglected children nationwide.

Beyond the stage and studio, I’m a Senior Loan Officer ranked in the top 1% of my field with loanDepot®, where I help families and investors achieve their dreams of homeownership. I’m also a proud wife to Dr. Dane Bowers and mom to twin six-year-old boys, Tristan and Preston. Whether I’m closing loans, speaking on stage, or spending quality time with my three boys, my purpose remains the same — to lead with love, courage, and faith and to inspire you to do the same.
