Today our lives look very different than a couple of years ago, but I’m getting way ahead of myself and trying to skip to how Davis Inspired came about. So let me start over.

Geoff and I have been married for over 30 years. We have 2 adult children, both a son and daughter in law as well as 2 amazing granddaughters with another along the way... AND… we all have dogs, so when we get together it’s utter chaos but so much fun.

Raised in Michigan we met in 1991, got married, and lived the suburbia lifestyle. Geoff always had a passion for the military, in fact he always regretted getting out in 1989. So much so in fact, we chose to leave corporate America behind so Geoff could rejoin the Army. Who knew you could become a combat engineer after a 19-year break in service?

As a family we embraced military life and fully emerged ourselves.

The serial entrepreneur in me began writing a blog and speaking to groups of military spouses and quickly became a sought after motivational speaker, known as the Direction Diva. I was even published! Right Side Up and Warning Signs: Is Your Teen At Risk? are among my proudest accomplishments.

And then in April 2019 everything about our lives changed. Geoff was in an explosion that resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee, a TBI and other minor injuries. Once his injuries were stabilized he was med-evacked to Brooks Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, Tx to begin his recovery. Multiple surgeries, lots of treatments and continued occupational/recreational/physical therapy at the Center For The Intrepid (CFI) have kept Geoff’s recovery moving forward as we put our lives back together piece by piece.

So how did Davis Inspired come about?

As people who believe that stories change lives, we decided to be transparent with our experience and how we managed to navigate all of the challenges.

And it’s been hard - emotionally, mentally and physically. And we aren’t even talking about the role the worldwide pandemic played. We have had to learn to manage stress and find new coping strategies and we quickly realized that normal as we new it was gone forever.

Not only did the incident alter Geoff’s life but mine was disrupted in a huge way as well. In the midst of those first few months post injury, I made the hard decision to transition away from my long-established businesses and put my thriving speaking career on hold so I could focus on being an integral part of Geoff’s recovery.

Over and over, people asked how we were able to maintain such a positive attitude. And our answer? We have chosen to focus on what is going right. To which many responded, how do you even do that?

Hence DavisInspired was born.

As we began to focused on helping people navigate through their challenges and how it affected their mental wellness, we found that we were skilled at providing solutions that helped others. Because of all we experienced, we were reminded of the importance of having

• multiple income streams

• a strong support system

• healthy coping strategies

• optimized mental wellness

and now we want to do all we can to help others as they navigate the unexpected twists and turns life throws at us all.

We offer

• Inspiration, hope and tips on our Social Media Platforms, on the blog (just starting up) and through being guests on podcasts, panels, online events and interviews.

• Business strategy coaching sessions and mentorship
