Summary

At its heart, Valley Stories is HOPE! Turning trials into triumph, and finding light even in life’s hardest seasons. A space to journey together this very real part of being human- Hardship. Bringing LIGHT and COMMUNITY to that all too often dark and lonely space.

Hardship is a very real part of the human journey, a part we do everything we can to get through as quick and painless as possible or even just pretend it’s not there. I’d like to shine a light, to not only normalize but show how trial can be a very powerful tool of growth, helping us become our best self. There is a Japanese form of art, 'Kintsukuroi' to repair with gold - this art takes something broken and repairs it with gold; the concept of being more beautiful for having been broken.

Here I want to celebrate just that! Looking at the human spirit of resiliency, persistence, adaptation, curiosity and love. Seeing that your story matters and that we are more beautiful for having been broken.

  • Hardship Offers a Crossroad
    Apr 3 2026

    Looking a little deeper into Hardship- sharing my thoughts and the treasures that I feel I’ve unlocked as I’ve journeyed, and with all my heart, want for you too.

    Hardship offers a Crossroad:

    Path 1-Running from, avoidance, denial, doing the bare minimum, fear, bitterness, never ending

    Path 2-See as a tool, get curious- choose to adapt, growth, new outlook, hope, life, beautiful change.

    Journeying through hardship is not easy but avoiding or staying in it is even harder. The GOOD NEWS -there is a choice and the choice is ours!

    I am now a believer that we are created to do hard things, but even a step further than that, we are better for it!

    Quote- “Every test in our life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become victim or victor.”
