The Story

From Junk To Guru

 I'm The Junk Guru
My path here wasn't a straight line—it was a journey of discovery.
It started with a background in Human Services, where I saw firsthand the challenges people face. 

Then, I launched the "Talking Junk" podcast. It was a way to explore the world while trying to find myself, and it ended up leading me somewhere I never expected. My work on the podcast led me to the critical, foundational insights of ACEs Matter. As a Reacher Alumni, I learned firsthand how Adverse Childhood Experiences create the 'junk' that so many of us carry as adults.
Suddenly, everything clicked.
That new understanding gave me a mission. I knew I had to get the professional tools to help people on a deeper level. I went on to become a certified Life Coach with specializations in Anger & Conflict Resolution.
From this journey, the "Shut the Junk Up" system was born. Now, as an author and speaker, I teach people just like you the practical, real-world tools to understand your past, quiet the chaos, and finally unleash your calm.
