15 Years Later: How One Inspirational Teen Mom Story Is Still Changing Lives

Can you believe it’s been 15 years?!

Fifteen years since I shared my truth with the world—the story of getting pregnant on my 15th birthday (thanks for the birthday wishes) and becoming a mother at 15. The story of choosing faith over fear, and of rewriting my future when most thought it was already written.

When I published Life After Birth, my son was 15—the same age I was when I got pregnant. That moment changed my life. But what’s blown me away ever since… is how it’s changed so many others too. That one book sparked everything—my speaking career, my confidence class, my coaching programs, my resilience workshops, my leadership courses, the S.O. What! Foundation, and my mission to help others say “S.O. What!” to their challenges and live a life of purpose anyway.

Over the years, I’ve shared my journey with thousands of youth, including teen moms just like I was, and the people who pour into them. And the impact? Honestly, it’s been nothing short of powerful.

Now it’s your turn.

If you know a young person—especially one who’s navigating tough stuff—don’t wait. Share Life After Birth with them today. It’s more than a book—it’s a lifeline, a mirror, and a map for what’s possible.
