Coleman grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, and from a young age, dreamed of becoming a rodeo star. She began competing in rodeos at the age of 16, and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the top female rodeo athletes in the world. In 2005, she was crowned the National Finals Rodeo Barrel Racing Champion.

But Coleman's life took a dramatic turn in 2006, when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, pain, and vision problems.

Coleman was devastated by her diagnosis, but she was determined to not let it define her. She continued to compete in rodeos, and in 2008, she won the National Finals Rodeo Barrel Racing Championship again.

In addition to her rodeo career, Coleman also pursued her passion for music. She began singing and songwriting at a young age, and in 2009, she released her debut album, "Ms. Entertainer." The album was a critical and commercial success, and Coleman has since released several more albums and singles.

Coleman's story is an inspiring example of how it is possible to overcome adversity and achieve your dreams. She is a role model for people with MS and for anyone who has ever faced challenges.
