Connect How did your love story begin?

Our love story began across worlds. He was raised in a Wall Street family and was working as a global evangelist. I was raised in the mountains of Appalachia and was building my private coaching practice while working as a full time actress and model. We met online through Super Connector Media and our souls immediately recognized each other. Through cultural gaps, financial trials, and a custody storm, we became partners in healing and co-creation.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

On our honeymoon, we spent time in the water with a dolphin and I was absolutely terrified when it was time to pet it. But with Brad by my side, I did it. When I tried to hug the dolphin, the trainer said I gave it a "Baptist hug" because I was so stiff and nervous! We laughed so hard, and Brad never let go of my hand. That moment captured us perfectly: fear meets faith, humor meets heart, and we always get through it together.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d use the funds to stabilize our home, catch up on bills, and ensure our kids have everything they need. But we’d also pay it forward by supporting other families in crisis, donating to parents rebuilding after loss. We've lived through hardship with love at the center, and we’d use this blessing to rise and help others rise too. Because love isn’t just personal, it’s how you show up for the world.
