Keri's Story

I survived an insane cougar attack that shattered life as I knew it—and rebuilt everything that came after. That moment didn’t just change me; it shook my family, my friends, and my community. Today, I share the raw truth of that day and the powerful lessons it unlocked about fear, resilience, and choosing to live fully, no matter what tries to take you down.
