About Me
Prior to 2020, I was a do-er. I worked as an admissions and marketing director for a medical facility, and before that, a mortgage loan originator. Outside of work, my husband and I spent our free time flipping houses. Done raising my children and on the better side of the statistics after two primary cancer diagnoses, I was settling into the absolute prime of my life as a wife, mom, and new grandma.
Then, my world stopped. Although it took me years to learn its name, I am a Long Covid "first-waver." As I was trying to navigate that, a severe Covid vaccine injury in April 2021 pulled the rug out from under me completely. I went from renovating houses and working full-time to being homebound and largely bedridden. The vibrant prime of my life was suddenly confined to the four walls of my bedroom.
I lost my health, my income, and life as I had known it, completely. I struggled for years, mostly alone, trying to find out what was happening to me. During this time, I was gaslit by a medical system that didn't know what to do with me. So badly that I sold my home and moved to another state just for relief from the misinformation in my chart and a fresh start. At that time, I didn't know what else to do. I realized I desperately needed a symptom tracker and medical defense system just to survive, and I couldn't find one. So, I built one.
Trainwreck Planners isn't a corporate brand; it's a lifeline born out of necessity. I am fighting for my health and my family right alongside you in the trenches.
I see you. I believe you. This will not cure you, but I hope it helps.
