I grew up in a family where the emotions I saw most often were happiness, stress, and anger. But beneath the surface, no one talked about what they were really feeling or worked through their emotions in a way that taught me how to process my own.

As a result, I grew into a woman who struggled to express herself. I remember being a fiancée who couldn’t tell her partner how heartbroken she felt about missing the last few months of undergrad and walking across the stage—#ThanksCovid.

When I became a mom, I poured everything I had into making my daughter happy. I spent every waking moment trying to create the perfect world for her, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t showing up for myself the way I needed to.

It took a hard look in the mirror to realize that if I didn’t make a change soon, I’d end up living life only for my kids—pouring everything into them until they grew up and left, leaving me unsure of who I was. I was desperate for change.

That decision to prioritize my growth changed everything, and it’s why I’m here today. I know firsthand how hard it can be to navigate motherhood, heal old wounds, and live intentionally. But I also know the freedom, joy, and strength that comes from doing the work.

This is why I do what I do—to help moms find the balance between raising confident, capable children and nurturing the amazing women they are.
