Vulnerability, insecurity, anger, resentment and depression led Mistie into the arms of cocaine. Held hostage by addiction for ten years, she fell from becoming a surgeon in medical school to sporting black eyes, committing crimes and facing forty years in prison for taking someone's life.

Left BROKEN, DEPRESSED and LOST, she found strength to PULL HERSELF UP by sharing the RAW TRUTH about addiction, domestic abuse, and shame to IMPACT others. In prison, she WROTE herself into a four step healing process strategically titled C.O.P.E. = HOPE, which triggers emotional release of pain, guilt, FORGIVENESS and depression.

Mistie stresses "Don't wait, LOVE yourself TODAY! RETRAIN your brain to see SILVER LININGS instead of dwelling on negativity. Find your GREATNESS buried inside behind the shame, guilt, embarrassment, denial and arrogance and use it to PULL YOURSELF UP." She urges you to ask "who am I here to serve?" Shift your focus to helping someone else and you will discover your anger, resentment and self-doubt will fade away.

Stop looking into the rearview mirror and LET GO of your haunting past so you can BE PRESENT and show up in your FUTURE.

PULL YOURSELF UP!
