Talking all things Parenting and Caregiver Burnout… Finding our way to back to ourselves… and getting that SASS back.

I’m 1/2 a century, baby. to me, indeed.


And life just got a little sweeter.

It’s not some secret recipe, or some overcomplicated skin regimen.

It’s
Motivation
The want
The humility to accept help
The unconditional love from family
Learning to say no to the wrong, and yes to the right.

I took a chance on ME a few months ago, and since then, have seen a shift in myself.

I dreaded this for the last 10 years. I dreaded ESPECIALLY, being transparent to ANYONE… even my own kids.

But it dawned on me.

Why hide it?
What am I scared of?

I DID IT!

I hit 1/2 a century, I survived 9 brutal pregnancy losses, and held one of them in my arms. I looked death in the eye, and through prayer and community - I came out of it alive and kicking. AND thriving.

It wasn’t my time. I still have work to do here.

But even with these life altering moments in my life, I STILL:
• made bad health choices
• stretched myself to max capacity
• said YES to things that stifled my growth.
• said NO to hard things that meant growth
• lived in debilitating fear, daily
• allowed my to paralyze, not enhance my life
• had horrible boundaries… correction… I had no boundaries

It took 50 years, (3 months ago, to be exact), but I found exactly what I needed:
• A deeper connection with God
• Gratitude
• A go-to, easy that balances out those darn hormones, and targets my
• Forgiveness and freedom from past hurts
• An awesome studio to do my craft .of.owl
• A killer program that funds said craft
• A loving approach , Mama & Daughter
• Self Compassion
• And the GUMPTION to follow (FIX) my Gut.

Thank you to those who remembered when I chose to forget, that turning 50 is a blessing, not a curse.

DM me or comment 50 if you want in on this big secret.
