From chaos and cycles to calm and clarity, this is where it started, and why I keep showing up
I’m Windy, and I created this space for people like me: those who want to break generational cycles, grow in faith, and create emotional healing and independence for themselves and their families.
Growing up, I noticed that many people were stuck in the same old cycles, and I wanted something more for myself and for my kids. My husband retired a year ago, and given that he’s slightly 😉 older than me, I began to realize that I will one day have to stand on my own, both emotionally and financially. This pushed me to build a foundation where I started to explore avenues to support myself independently while making a difference for others.
Family is at the center of my journey. My husband and I have built a unique, blended family. He had five children when we got married—three of whom I had the privilege to help raise. Together, we later had one child, and we also opened our hearts by adopting my niece/daughters. In addition, there are two siblings in our family that we affectionately refer to as our bonus blessings. God’s grace and mercy along with each family member plays a vital role in our story, and every day is a testament to our commitment to love, growth, and resilience.
I come from a background where addiction and generational cycles have often dictated lives. I never wanted to accept that as my destiny for my kids. I firmly believe that while our past explains who we are, it doesn’t excuse us from becoming the change we want to see. I’m a firm believer in the idea that if you want change, then you must be the change.
Learning to communicate—especially with my husband—was one of my greatest challenges. I was raised in an environment where silence, drama, and even violence were mistaken for love. Early on, I knew I never wanted to adopt a victim mentality. Eventually, I took responsibility for my healing and, in doing so, worked hard to create a healthier, more loving environment for our children.
Here at Calm Chaos with Windy, I share the practical life hacks, self-growth tips, and digital products that have helped me navigate my own journey. Whether it’s through e-books on journaling, personal growth guides, or checklists for making the household run smoother, I hope my words help you feel seen, understood, and empowered. I want you to know that even when change feels lonely, you’re not alone—there are many of us striving for growth and balance.
Thank you for being part of this community. Let’s turn chaos into calm—one step at a time.
With warmth,
Windy
