Welcome to a Journey Through Heartache and Healing

💌 Dearest Reader,

Every story threads its own tapestry of emotions— and mine weaves deep sorrow, unshakable love, and hard-earned hope.

In 2011, on what should have been a day of celebration, a drunk driver going the wrong way on an exit ramp took the life of my beloved youngest daughter, Lilly.

In a single moment, my granddaughter Deez—who had already lost her father—became an orphan under my care.

I was shattered.

I fell into the darkest place of my life. My life meant nothing to me.

I contemplated suicide time and time again.

During this darkness, I made a lot of expensive “wrong choices" that nearly destroyed my family and my marriage.

Consumed by grief and blinded by depression, I could barely see the people still with me.

It wasn’t until my older daughter gently asked me:

“Mom, don’t you see me anymore?” …that I realized how far I had slipped away.

That question was my turning point.

🌱 From Grief to Growth

I began immersing myself in grief research, trauma recovery, emotional intelligence, mind maps, and "anything" mental health. I read everything—from the DSM-5 to neuroscience journals on trauma healing.

I thought I had every disorder in the book.

But as I kept reading, writing, and learning, I discovered something deeper:

We don’t always choose what happens to us.

But we can choose what we do next.

That understanding became the heartbeat of My Talking Eye—

and later, the foundation for MTE TV: The Mental Therapy Experience.

🕊️ Lilly’s Legacy

Lilly was more than my youngest daughter. She was joy, laughter, sass, and light for so many people.

Lilly loved to sing karaoke with her deep, raspy voice. She was captivating.

Her life—and the love we shared—will endure in our memories forever.

MTE TV was born in her honor.

To ensure no one else has to grieve in silence.

To give voice to those who feel invisible.

To shine a light when the darkness feels permanent.

Every story shared… every moment of comfort given…

Every breakthrough someone has at 3 AM with tears streaming down their face—

That’s Lilly.

That’s love that didn’t die—it multiplied.

🤝 If You’re Here, You Belong

Your presence is not only welcomed — it’s treasured.

This space isn’t about quick fixes or masking pain.

It’s about learning to live fully again, while honoring

those we’ve lost and embracing every chapter of our becoming.
