1/10: Yesterday was one of those days I didn’t want to end.
I could feel it while I was in it…
this is a moment I’m going to remember.
It was our first family pool day.
And all of a sudden, it hit me…
a new generation is here.
My daughter and nephew’s childhood is happening right now.
And I felt this deep pull to slow down and soak in every second.
But can I be honest with you?
It wasn’t perfect. Not even close.
I’m still navigating postpartum anxiety.
I’m still about 20 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight.
There was a time, in the thick of my Scleroderma,
when I begged people not to post pictures of me because of my skin.
And now?
Despite not being in my “healthiest looking” body…
I’m walking around in a two-piece, in my postpartum body.
And while I stood in the water, holding my daughter as she experienced the pool for the first time, completely lit up with joy,
it hit me, a lesson
This is what getting your life back actually looks like.
It’s not eating perfectly.
It’s not having the fittest, most toned body.
Yes, your nutrition matters.
Yes, your habits matter.
But getting your life back lives in the simple moments.
It’s laughing in the water with your baby.
Not watching life pass by… but actually being in it.
These are the days I’ll think about when I’m 80.
And I want to savor all of it.
The silliness.
The softness.
The hope for the future.
I’m sharing this because there was a time I truly believed I was too far gone.
And if that’s where you are right now, I want you to know:
Feeling better is still an option.
Even if you’ve been told medication is your only path,
you can support your body alongside it.

Living with an autoimmune condition like Scleroderma often feels like an uphill battle, especially when compounded by life changes such as postpartum recovery. From personal experience, the path to remission is rarely linear but filled with valuable lessons that transform not just the body but the soul. One key insight I've learned over the decade of living in unmedicated remission is the importance of embracing imperfection. Healing isn't about achieving physical ideals but about reconnecting with the joyful moments—like a family pool day—where presence and play outweigh appearance or flawless health. Supporting your body goes beyond medication; it involves cultivating nourishing habits suited to your unique needs. Listening to your body, managing stress through mindfulness, prioritizing sleep, and finding a community that understands your journey can greatly influence your healing. Postpartum anxiety and weight challenges are common hurdles but accepting them as part of your current story rather than obstacles can empower you to move forward with compassion. Joining support circles or coaching communities focused on autoimmune remission offers practical tools and motivation. These spaces create accountability, shared wisdom, and encouragement essential for sustaining lifestyle changes. Ultimately, getting your life back means fully engaging in everyday experiences—not as an outsider but as a vibrant participant. Each laugh, each moment of connection with loved ones, embodies your resilience and renewed vitality. If you're navigating autoimmune healing, remember that remission is possible. It may look different for everyone, but celebrating every small victory keeps hope alive and nourishes the journey ahead.
