A survivor of every kind of abuse, Carob walked to her local police station at just 8 years old and started the foster care process.  She was never adopted and aged out at 18 years of age.  Over the years Carob has overcome many obstacles to create her own slice of a modest “good life” and believes that we are all capable of thriving and finding happiness. She created the platform ‘Age Out Rise Up” to reach out to former fosters of all ages and encourage them to move past their bad histories and choose to rise!

With many of us working from home and spending most of our time with family, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about creating a healthier mindset.  Click here to contact me at your convenience or click the link below to book a call with me.
