I’m not the woman I was five years ago, five months ago, or even five weeks ago. And that’s exactly how I know I’m growing. At 43, I’ve learned that growth isn’t about reaching a certain age, achieving a particular goal, or finally having everything figured out. It’s about constantly evolving…

Something new is in the works… 👀 Introducing CHOW TIME: UNFILTERED! 🎙️ One mom. Two kids. Three different perspectives. And a whole lot of life in between. We’re stepping a little outside our comfort zones and trying something new together! The idea is simple: just the three of us sitting on the…

Because when the world gets quiet, the grief gets loud. 💔 Some nights, sleep just doesn’t come like it used to. So yes, I nap. 🥹 Widows, tell me I’m not alone in this. ❤️ . . #dream #widow #insomnia #sleeplessnights #fypシ゚viral

Same woman. Same body. Same bathing suit. Different angle. One photo shows a tighter stomach. The other shows loose skin, stretch marks, and parts of my body that aren’t always visible when I’m standing a certain way. And you know what? I love her in BOTH. ❤️ Ladies, can we talk about how much our…

My 1st Halloween alone…. 👻🎃 Daughter with her boyfriend Son with his girlfriend . #widow #change #life #living

Let me be clear… being fit at ANY age, in ANY season of life, deserves to be celebrated. 👏🏼❤️ This isn’t about comparing journeys or taking away from anyone else’s hard work. It’s about recognizing that sometimes the biggest flex isn’t what your body looks like… it’s everything you’ve carried and…

I don’t owe the world a pretty version of my pain. I can love God, trust His plan, and still think what happened was absolute bullshit. Faith doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t hurt. And strength doesn’t mean I was okay with any of it. 🖤 . #widow #faith #life #death #itiswhatitis

Not looking for sympathy just wanting to share incase I can help someone else…. Three years. Three years of learning how to live with a broken heart. 🤍 I’m sharing photos that aren’t pretty. Some may be difficult to see. But they’re real. And they’re part of my story. The hospital bed. The final…

I have a story to tell. Actually, I have a lot of stories to tell. ❤️ In my 43 years on this earth, I have lived through more than most people will ever know. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Some chapters of my life have been lived publicly, whether I wanted them to be or not. But so much of…

Every damn day because I’m not the only one! ##tiktok##life##fyp

Sometimes I find myself standing still, taking in the beauty around me, while knowing deep down that there is still so much more I want out of this life. More love. More laughter. More adventures. More moments that remind me what it feels like to truly be alive. I’ve spent so much of my life being…

Again some day…

A few possible “fits” for Ibiza trip… what do we think? Too much?? #43 #mombod #spain #ibiza

But I do and I will continue to…. #journey #widow #live #growth #letshealtogether

LIVE YOUR LIFE , EVEN IF YOU’RE STILL HEALING. 🤍 For the longest time, I had this misconception that I needed to be “healed” before I could really start living again. I thought I needed to work through the pain first. Get stronger first. Feel like myself again first. And then I could move forward…

Former softball player…. Can you tell?? 😂 😂 . . . . . #golf #fyp #notagolfer #mom #drivingrange

If you had told me three years ago what my life would look like today, I never would have believed you. Life changed unexpectedly and completely. I lost my husband, my best friend, my person. I became a widow. A single mom. And I had to learn how to keep showing up for my kids while figuring out…

Homeschooling at its finest! Hahaha

I miss my baby girl more than words can say. 🥹❤️ She is down in the Desert doing the things she loves so I’m happy for her but miss having her here with us!!! I was so young when I had her, and in so many ways, we grew up together. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our journey. Being her mom…

My alone time in the car is for ME so sorry! #carkaraoke #metime #cantsing #stilldo

Don’t lie to me 😘 #returnofthemack

Rainy day makes for a good selfie photoshoot in the hotel room ⛈️ #selfie #photoshoot #rainnyday

What my late husband’s love taught me?? I am worthy of care, peace, happiness, and a beautiful life — far more than I ever gave myself credit for. Through his love, I learned that taking care of myself isn’t selfish, and that I deserve the same love I so freely give to others. What his death…
