Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and other passionate, dedicated moms

the tools you need to bridge the gap between motherhood and living the life of your dreams.

Ingrid Ortiz is a self-love and confidence coach, helping women end their struggle with comparison so they can pursue their passion and live life to the fullest.

She pivoted from a career in personal training to guide women in a more powerful and profound way.

share how her mess became her message,

how she survived her serious suicide attempt, how she found a safety net and recovered from
