You're Past the Shock, But Still Stuck
You're not in crisis mode anymore. You're not falling apart. But you're not thriving either.
Maybe you didn't have a shock moment that you can define. But you still feel like you're walking through a Hard time.
You're in that stuck space where you're expected (by others or yourself) to "move on" or "think positive" -- but you can't seem to get there.
Maybe you're:
✔ Going through the motions of
everyday life, feeling numb.
✔ Tired of people telling you
to "have faith"
when faith feels impossible.
✔ Feeling guilty because
you can't just
"be grateful" for what you have.
✔ Exhausted from pretending
everything is fine when it's not.
✔ Wondering if you'll ever feel
genuinely hopeful again.
If this sounds like you, you're not broken.
There are steps that come BEFORE faith, gratitude, and hope.
The alphabet doesn't start with F, G, and H.
It starts with A, B, and C.

Why I Created This Method
Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer when my miracle baby was just 4 months old.
Before that, I had already survived breast cancer at 27 and dealt with infertility.
Over these years, I also said goodbye to many dear friends who died from Stage 4 cancer.
Through each of my Hard times, many people kept telling me to "have faith," "be grateful," and "stay positive." But I couldn't get there.
I felt like I was failing at life because I couldn't grasp on to the feelings of Faith, Gratitude and Hope.
I felt like I was failing at life because I couldn't grasp on to the feelings of Faith, Gratitude and Hope.
That's when I realized there are steps that come BEFORE faith and gratitude. Steps that make those feelings real instead of empty words.
After my diagnosis I spent years of self-reflection, writing, counseling, healing and growth (and even a deep dive into a Life Coaching Certification).
It was because of all this work that I did for myself,
that laid the foundation for the framework I created:
The ABC to FGH Method.
This method doesn't ask you to pretend everything is fine.
It meets you where you actually are and gives you concrete steps to move forward -
even when faith feels far away.
Introducing From Hard Times to Beautiful Life:
The ABC to FGH Method That Guides Us Through Hard Times
This isn't another "positive thinking" course or "gratitude journal" program.
The ABC to FGH Method Acknowledges that:
✔ Some days are genuinely hard, and that's okay
✔ You don't have to be thankful for what happened to grow from it
✔ There are practical steps that work even when inspiration feels impossible
✔ Community and support are essential, not optional
✔ Finding glimmers of beauty is a skill you can learn
This method was tested in the real world of living with Stage 4 cancer. I've relied on this method through 10 years of Stage 4 cancer, especially when hope felt far away.
