I have been actively working within the recovery community since 2016 by first desperately trying to understand what recovery actually looks like.
Ultimately, I was led with a group in 2019 to open a women’s rehabilitation home that encompassed all the traditional structure found throughout this industry. In 2020, my husband and I purchased a sober living home, "Caylee’s House", so our graduates can remain living with recovery accountability long term. People cycled in and out of the main rehab but those who stayed in Caylee’s house long term were overwhelmingly successful, including our very first resident Sam, in 2019. Our successful graduates all remain connected to their chosen recovery family to this day.
In 2024, by God I stepped away from that rehabilitation home with two of our graduates, and founded Stronger Together, NFP out of Caylee’s House. In 2025, we purchased and began rehabilitation of our current 4600 sq foot log home situated on 7 acres known as Magnolia House. Thankfully we have throughout the years realized that what works is a desire to change ones life and the complete ability to do so. So we stripped away all the rules designed to make one submit to the will of another, including the belief there is only one way to achieve lasting recovery, and we chose to create the atmosphere of a loving, supportive family.
My daughter would tell me no matter how good she was, her past always stood in the way. I vowed to make that different for as many people as I can. But I/We cannot do it alone. 12 Step meetings work. But it isn’t necessarily the teachings in the big book that changes everything, but it’s the genuine connection that is formed within those walls. WE work hard to carry that unity into our home to provide the kind of family atmosphere our residents do not want to leave. We encourage our residents to remain a year but there is no “graduation date” and we offer Caylee’s House to our senior residents so they can remain indefinitely. Additionally, my husband Beau and I own a manufacturing facility and a separate packaging distribution company which provides real career opportunity to those in recovery, including our former “rehab” graduates, and current Stronger Together residents.
All of this has created a new life of people, places, and things where true recovery success is being achieved. And finally, as Jessica always says, we encourage giving away what is so freely given to us, so we stay connected to be a part of the next woman’s journey. Forming a strong community has proven successful thus we woman of ST are committed to doing life together.

My recovery journey began in 2018 with a fox-hole prayer and an arrest 10 hours later. That arrest saved my life and ultimately led me to recovery. Along the way, I discovered three of the greatest assets to my recovery: community, knowledge, and faith. With those three things, I may not be invincible, but I have learned how to weather the storms of life.
Throughout my recovery, I was blessed to be in the right place at the right time and connected with people who understood what I was experiencing—not just physically and chemically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That made all the difference. I learned that determination and grit can carry you only so far. Without the internal healing that comes with understanding yourself and having the right people around you, you can be sober and still simply be existing.
That realization became part of the foundation for Stronger Together.
I met Cori while I was in a recovery program and she was the Women's Director, and we worked alongside one another throughout my recovery journey. Cori understood the need for women in recovery to have stable housing, stable employment, and people willing to see the woman standing in front of them today—not define her by who she was yesterday.
Together, along with others who shared our vision, we recognized a significant gap between recovery and the women trying to build a life within it.
So we decided to fight in that gap.
We wanted to create a space where women could grow, connect, explore, and discover who they are beyond the labels the world may have placed on them. A place for healing and learning. A place where sisterhood could blossom. A place I wish I had when I was navigating prison, treatment, and the early stages of my own recovery.
For me, the difference is clear: Give a woman the confidence to pursue a purpose-driven life, and she can conquer anything that comes her way.
That belief is at the heart of every policy, guideline, and decision we make at Stronger Together. We are committed to creating healthy spaces where women can land when life gets out of control, regain their footing, and discover that their past does not determine their future.
Our programs are shaped by lived experience, hard-earned knowledge, faith, and a deep belief in the power of community. We are honored to invite you to learn more about the heart behind our mission and the women we have the privilege of walking alongside.
Most importantly, we want every woman who walks through our doors to know this:
You are not who the world says you are. You are not your past. You are worthy of healing, worthy of purpose, and worthy of a life you are proud to live.

My passion for recovery is deeply personal because addiction once had a hold on my life. I know what it feels like to be broken, lost, and searching for hope. But I also know the incredible power of God's love, grace, and redemption.
I believe that every person struggling with addiction is a beloved son or daughter of our Heavenly Father. No one is too far gone for His mercy, and no life is beyond His ability to restore. God used people who loved me, prayed for me, and reminded me of my worth in Christ when I couldn't see it for myself. Through their faithfulness and His unfailing grace, I found healing, hope, and a new purpose.
Every day, more people lose their lives to addiction, and my heart breaks for those who feel trapped in darkness. Recovery programs rooted in love, compassion, and faith can become the hands and feet of Jesus, offering hope to those who believe there is none. Sometimes all it takes is one person willing to walk beside someone and remind them that they are seen, loved, forgiven, and never alone.
My calling is to give away what God so freely gave to me. I want to walk alongside those who are hurting, point them to the hope found in Christ, and remind them that their story is not over. I want others to know that no matter how broken they feel, God still has a purpose for their life, and through Him, healing, freedom, and restoration are possible.
