Hello, I'm Yari, and I am a living testament to the belief that women are beautifully and wonderfully made, regardless of the scars they carry. This declaration has been my anchor, even during times when I struggled to believe it myself. I knew these words would eventually empower me, and they have.

​

I grew up in a home shadowed by domestic abuse, navigated the complexities of a blended family, and faced the highs and lows of marriage. I have battled mom guilt and confronted numerous health challenges. I am a BRCA-positive previvor, a lupus warrior, a fibromyalgia warrior, and a Breast Implant Illness (BII) survivor. Through all these experiences, I have chosen to live by "Embrace Release."

​

Why Embrace Release?

​

Life throws many curveballs, and my journey has taught me to embrace the things I cannot control and release those that are beyond me. Embracing my storms and battles has kept me from staying in a victimized state of mind, a place that can be terrifying to linger in. Instead, I've sought God's guidance to understand why I was walking through each valley and what lessons I needed to learn from those dark moments.

​

This approach has healed my heart from heartache, failure, rejection, anger, bitterness, sadness, disrespect, and low self-esteem. Releasing what holds me back has allowed me to grow, forgive, love, enjoy, evolve, and live in constant thankfulness for the good meant for me.

​

My Mission

My hope is to inspire you to embrace the challenges life presents and release what holds you back. Together, let's work towards a life of growth, healing, empowerment and living in the purpose in which God has created us for.

Let's get to work.
