Two very different stories. One uncomfortable question: are we doing enough to recognize when mothers and families are in crisis? Our family experienced what happens when a medical situation is misunderstood and parents are treated as the problem instead of the medical circumstances being fully

Healing my core after two back-to-back pregnancies has been one of the hardest parts of my fitness journey. Just when I thought I knew what my body needed, I found out I have hypermobile EDS. Suddenly, so many things that weren’t working finally made sense. It’s meant slowing down, rebuilding

We knew we had to do something special to mark one year of having our girls back home. One year ago, our family finally began rebuilding after a medical misdiagnosis led to our daughters being taken from our home for 10 months. This day isn’t about pretending the pain never happened. It’s abo

I spent a long time trying to avoid doing a calorie deficit. I wanted to build muscle and focus on strength and just hope fat loss happened. And while those things have their place, eventually I had to admit that my goal right now is fat loss. So I stopped overcomplicating it and just did

Almost 2 years later, and I still find myself coming back to this photo. The night I held our last baby for the first time. The night I had no idea that the next year of our lives would become something I would spend so much time trying to process. This photo leads me to replay in my head con

This song carried me through the hardest season of our lives. I listened to it constantly. I cried to it constantly. There were nights I would sit with tears streaming down my face, wondering where God was in all of this and asking Him… “Where are You planting seeds in this story?” Because at

Angioedema Awareness

I promised myself I’d document this diagnosis & healing journey honestly. The happy moments. The answered prayers. And the moments where I’m questioning God and struggling to hold onto my faith. Four days ago, I woke up with very mild lip swelling. After monitoring it for a few days, I f

now I know why each pregnancy had a complication during and at birth. I could write a book about both honestly. needless to say, I have severe medical trauma. ESPECIALLY if you know our family’s story (found on my page). I have a lot of why’s I will not be doing that again 🤠 #pregnancy #traum

Just a few reminders I think we all need every once in a while. 🤍 Social media makes it really easy to forget that everyone is on a different timeline, in a different season, and showing their best moments. Here’s your reminder not to let a 30-second Reel make you question months of your own

A younger version of me would’ve either skipped the party, tried to “be good,” or convinced myself I had already ruined my progress after one plate. Now? I eat the burgers. I have dessert if I want it. I focus on protein, enjoy the people I’m with, and get back to my normal routine the next day.

For most of my life, I thought this was just who I was. I believed everyone felt this way and simply handled it better than I did. I wondered why my body always seemed to struggle with things that looked effortless for everyone else. I spent years questioning myself, pushing through, and wonderi

Some seasons of life build babies. Others build you

They say you can “bounce back.” But what if you have two babies back-to-back, spend nearly three years pregnant and breastfeeding, navigate trauma, and then find out you have hEDS? I’ve been a personal trainer through all of it. The hardest part wasn’t helping other people get stronger. I

One of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve had with hEDS and dysautonomia is realizing that recovery is just as important as training. HRV isn’t something I obsess over, and I definitely don’t cancel my workouts because of one low number. Instead, I use it to look for patterns. Maybe my HRV is lo

Healthcare providers that actually understand how to navigate hEDS >>> 🙌 No blown veins. No digging around. No explaining hEDS over and over. The bar is low, but finding medical professionals who actually understand connective tissue disorders is always worth celebrating. Thank you to all
