Supportive community reflects our resilience, helping rebuild stronger after setbacks.
After back-to-back divorces, it would have been easy to believe I had to do it all alone. During the pandemic, the world was silent. My daughters were home, routines disappeared and my future felt unfamiliar.
Yet even in that stillness, I never felt hopeless. I felt invited. Invited to pay attention, to choose faith, to build something meaningful from the inside out.
When the divorce was final, I launched a company with someone I loved and trusted deeply. We built Wellness Eternal together in its earliest form (a brick-and-mortar showplace of Biohacking Tech). But friendship and entrepreneurship are not the same language. After eleven months, she chose to step away. She is still a dear friend, but she was not meant to be a business partner. I was left with a young company in pieces and a choice: let it go, or rebuild it into something stronger, clearer and truer. I chose to rebuild.
Wellness Eternal did not start as a brand. It started as a notebook of ideas, research, passionate conversations, prayers and late-night reflections. It was never about perfection. It was about purpose. Our purpose was, and still is, to bring efficacy and amplification to a confusing, nascent-stage industry – Biohacking. I intend to share the solutions that helped me and my daughter heal, while bringing integrity, science and spirit to a wellness space that sometimes forgets the human heart.
