About & Media

Life’s given me more plot twists than a Southern soap opera. Married at 17, raised 6 children, divorced at 38, found love again at 42, added 2 more kids to the mix, and now I’m watching 18 grandchildren grow up in a world that’s nothing like the one I knew. Through it all, I’ve worked 47 different jobs and lived enough stories to fill a library.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, career changes, parenting, or trying to make sense of today’s world, I’m serving up straight talk with a Southern twist. No filters, no fluff – just honest conversation and real-life wisdom from someone who’s been there, done that, and probably quit it in 24 hours.

Join me on YouTube and right here on the blog for weekly doses of unvarnished truth, served up like sweet tea – strong, Southern, and always refreshing.

 

Straight Talk + Sweet T

beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
