Creating a life on your terms and ultimately writing your own ending is about stepping into the author’s seat of your life. You’re writing your life story, after all, but so many people allow others to do the writing for them. This happens because of outside influences, labels and expectations that have been put on […]
The birth of my son four years ago changed my life in so many ways. Not only did I become a mother. Not only did I start my own business. But, I started to look at the way I was living and make intentional decisions to heal my past and begin to write my own […]
My husband and I have been married for eight years and together for eleven. Over the years we’ve made it a top priority to work on our marriage and communication. We’ve read books, listened to podcasts and read articles to support us in this vision. Yet, despite all of the outside advice, which has been […]
When I became an entrepreneur in 2016, I suddenly became obsessed with reading personal development books. I’m not ashamed to admit it wasn’t top of my radar before, but since then I’ve consumed a lot of materials on personal development and advancing my business.

We talk all things poop, diapers, bleeding to give you a real look inside what […]
I didn’t know it then, but I experienced postpartum depression that lasted months after my son was born. I felt so prepared for the birth of my son and labor, although that didn’t go as planned, and had never even thought about how my body and mind would change postpartum. I was not only ill-equipped […]
