What I Need to Remember When Life Gets Tough …

 ✨ What I Need to Remember When Life Gets Tough✨… Life feels overwhelming for me lately especially today and the weight of the world is pressing down on me. I need to stop, reflect and remind myself of all that I have in my life — all that truly matters. I am a spouse to an AMAZING man, a partner who stands by me, lifts me up, and reminds me of love’s strength even in the hardest moments. Ivan has been the biggest blessing of my life and has brought out the best in me ever since the first day we met. I can get through any obstacles or struggles that come my way as long as I have Ivan by my side. I love this man more and more each day, I am truly thankful to him to have by my side to go through this crazy life with.  I am a mother to two beautiful girls, who bring light, laughter, and meaning into every single day. Watching them grow is one of my greatest blessings. With all the stressful days full of chaos and overload I still find being a mother the greatest gift that has...

Living in My "Quiet Mom Era": Protecting MY Peace


✨Living in My Quiet Mom Era: Protecting MY Peace✨


Lately, I’ve found myself living in what I now call my "quiet mom era". It’s not about being silent, distant, or closed off—it’s about MY peace. It’s about intentionality. It’s about protecting MY energy, MY time, and most of all, MY HEART!

Motherhood changes you in ways NO ONE can fully prepare you for. Somewhere along the way, I realized I NO longer had the capacity—or the desire—to entertain relationships that felt heavy, unbalanced, or performative. I started to see things more clearly: NOT EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND. Not everyone who smiles at you is rooting for you. And not everyone deserves a seat at your table, especially when they don’t bring nourishment of any kind!

This realization didn’t come all at once. It was a slow unfolding. Moments of disappointment. Patterns I could no longer ignore. The kind of clarity that only comes when YOU'VE given too MANY chances, stretched yourself too thin, or tried too hard to maintain connections that weren’t mutual.

So, I changed MY circle. And not just in theory—I actually did it. I stopped reaching out to people who made me feel like an afterthought. I stopped sharing parts of myself with people who weren’t safe. I let go of friendships that only existed out of history, obligation, or guilt. And I stopped apologizing for needing space from energy that drained me.

The truth is, keeping your circle small isn’t about being cold—it’s about being WISE. It’s about recognizing that your peace is too valuable to put in the hands of people who DON'T GENUINELY care for it. I used to feel guilty for cutting people off. I used to worry about being misunderstood. But now? I honor the version of me that sets boundaries with love and walks away with grace. 

There is a specific analogy I heard while listening to "The Mindset Mentor" podcast by Rob Dial that has stuck with me ever since I heard it. The analogy is - If people act like vacuums in your life which means sucking the life out of you then they do not need to be there. Vacuums DO NOT serve any purpose for you and your life. What you do need to fill your circle with is batteries - which means people who thrive WITH YOUR energy and bring you peace with understanding your boundaries. By making this simple change in your life you will slowly see the life come back to you and the happiness with flourish like it never has before!

So with that being said this "quiet era" of mine is full of slower mornings, deep conversations with a few trusted souls, and a DEEP knowing that NOT everyone is meant to go where I’m headed. NOT everyone is meant to sit at my table with me. NOT everyone is your friend. NOT all blood family is required to be apart of my life. And that’s okay. Growth requires pruning. Peace requires protection!!

If you’re in a season of reevaluating your relationships, trust that it’s part of the process. Be intentional with YOUR inner circle. Let YOUR energy be sacred. And remember: YOU DON'T NEED A CROWD—YOU NEED A TRIBE!

And most of all, DO NOT feel bad for protecting YOUR peace!!! Fill your life with all those battery filled individuals and kick those vacuums to the curb!!

Personal Growth and Development

✨Personal Growth and Development✨   The Power of Small Steps:  How Consistent Effort Leads to Big Changes The topic of this post is about personal growth and development. I often struggle with this myself. I have found that small baby steps and consistency is the key to change.    What is personal growth often thought as?  Personal growth is often thought of as a massive transformation—something that happens overnight after a breakthrough moment or an intense period of introspection.  However, the truth is that true and lasting personal development happens through consistent, small actions over time. The Myth of Instant Change We’ve all seen those dramatic before-and-after stories. Maybe it’s a fitness journey, a career turnaround, or someone who’s transformed their mindset in a seemingly instant way.  These stories are powerful and inspiring, but they can also create a false expectation that personal growth needs to happen in a flash. The reality is f...

A Letter to You, My Uncle Ben

  Dear Uncle Ben, How are you doing? How's the food in heaven? Have you made any friends? These are all kinds of questions I have stuck in my mind lately. I am still trying to grasp the concept of grief. I still can’t wrap around my head and accept that you are no longer here with us. I feel like my whole world has been shattered into a million pieces. It kills me inside knowing you will never walk through that door at a family gathering or that you will never be at holidays. You were a huge part of our family and still are. I hope up in heaven you have gotten to see and know my kids. Everyday that passes it shatters me emotionally that you never got to meet my girls. I wanted them to have the Uncle Ben that I had growing up. Seeing my Uncle Ben was always the highlight of gatherings. You made things so magical and fun for me growing up. You have made a HUGE impact on my world and you probably don’t even realize it. To this day, I remember perfectly you tricking me thinking Grand...
