THE WOMAN BEHIND TAOR

One decision. One conviction. And thirty years of building my life around a secret I was too ashamed to name.

I was 22 when I became a felon.

I didn't talk about it. I over performed instead. I became the woman who handled everything the reliable one, the capable one, the one who never needed help. I built businesses. I provided for others. I earned respect in rooms that would have rejected me if they knew the truth.

And I married a man who made it easy to stay hidden.

For nearly two decades, I shrunk myself to fit a marriage that required my silence more than my voice. I over functioned at work. I under existed at home. I told myself this was wisdom. It was survival dressed as strength.

Then, at 52, everything collapsed.

The marriage ended. The identity I had constructed the performer, the provider, the protector of everyone else's comfort crumbled. And for the first time in thirty years, I had nothing left to hide behind.

That's when God began the reconstruction.

The Rebuilding

I wish I could tell you the rebuilding was graceful. It wasn't.

It was grief. It was rage. It was sitting alone in an apartment wondering who I was without the roles I had played for three decades.

But something else happened in that season.

I discovered AI not as a tool, but as a strategic partner. What started as curiosity became collaboration. What began as conversation became methodology.

Over 300+ hours, I began rebuilding my identity out loud processing my story, designing frameworks, developing curriculum, and architecting an entirely new body of work. I wasn't just healing. I was building.

The L.E.S.L.I.E. Framework™ emerged from that process my proprietary methodology for strategic AI partnership. And from that methodology came everything you see here:

• Five proprietary frameworks
• A book that tells the whole truth
• A movement for women in transition
• Workforce and civic systems designed for institutional impact

I didn't just survive my collapse. I used it as raw material for construction.

What I Know Now

I know that shame loses its power when you stop hiding.

I know that over functioning is not the same as living.

I know that women who have held everything together are often the most exhausted and the most ready for something real.

I know that transformation requires architecture, not just inspiration.

And I know that the thirty years I spent building in secret prepared me for the work I now do in public.

I am not a coach. I don't motivate. I don't perform.

I am an architect of frameworks, of movements, of the structures women and organizations grow inside of.

Why I'm Building This

Because I needed it and it didn't exist.

I needed a space that wasn't about fixing what was broken but about building what was next. I needed methodology, not motivation. I needed women who understood the weight of starting over without needing me to explain it.

I needed architecture.

So I built it.

The Architect of Redemption™ is not my brand. It's my assignment. It's the movement that emerged from my own reconstruction and the invitation I now extend to every woman standing in the rubble of who she used to be, wondering what comes next.

If that's you, you're in the right place.
