Growing up in a cult and an abusive home as a child with ADHD and Dyslexia, and also a peacemaker spirit, she struggled for years after getting out to find her path, her truth. Sally discovered that writing is what gave her that outlet. Writing allowed her to speak her truth in a way where others could connect and discover their own path a well. She realized her struggle allowed her to create characters, create stories with depth and feelings that resonate with readers. As a writer - this brings her happiness to have her words help someone else. Now Sally gets to encourage other people through coaching and her own work.
