She developed a TV show, with a focus on songs that heal, that was syndicated in 100 million US Households and 3 countries. She ran for TN State House of Representatives in 2020 to help heal a broken system for Veterans after the loss of her brother to the mental scars of war in Afghanistan, finishing at 46% of the vote in a very split district. She is now laser-focused on the healing of our American culture.
