still learning but i wanted to show my first attempt at making a chunky popcorn blanket 🧶🍿 definitely not perfect yet, but i actually had fun making this one & seeing myself improve little by little 😭☁️ i love being able to turn yarn into something cozy, creative & handmade. once i get t

i had to go no contact with parts of my family to become the mother i once needed. that choice wasn’t made in anger it was made in healing. i realized i can’t raise my son in the same energy i’ve been unlearning.family isn’t defined by blood, it’s defined by behavior, respect, and peace. when i bec

#betrayallist #lemon8challenge #letschat #GirlTalk #CommentChallenge Sometimes the worst betrayal isn’t from someone else it’s from yourself.I’ve learned the hard way that self-sabotage can look like a million tiny things… until they pile up and make you question everything. Here’s my r

Maybe submission wasn’t the problem… it was who I trusted.For the longest time, I thought letting a man lead was the reason I kept losing myself. But the truth is… I wasn’t being led I was being drained.There’s a difference between a man who leads with love and one who leads with ego. When you’ve

Let’s talk 50/50 because I’ve tried it, and I learned a lot from it. When I was in a 50/50 relationship, everything looked “equal” on paper we split the rent, the groceries, the outings. But over time, it stopped feeling like a partnership and started feeling like a roommate situation. I was pouri

They think I’m spoiling my child. What I’m really doing is breaking a cycle. Let’s talk about gentle parenting not the Pinterest-perfect version with matching Montessori toys and rainbow calm-down charts I mean the real kind. The messy, soul-shaking work of choosing connection over control, espe

small wins, the routines, the chaos, and those quiet little milestones with my son that mean everything. 🧸💬I’ve started sharing more of our daily norms and growth moments through shorts real stuff, not just the pretty parts. If you're into that kind of content (or just wanna see what a day i

I’m so tired of people telling me “just eat” like that magically solves everything. I do eat. I eat a lot, actually. But between having a fast metabolism, running after my son, and pushing wheelchairs all day at the airport I’m burning everything off just trying to keep up with life. I’m not tryin

For years, I carried this constant knot in my throat a tight, heavy lump that felt impossible to swallow or ignore.At first, I thought it was just stress or anxiety. But the more I paid attention, the more I realized it was something deeper a trauma response to being so passive, so afraid to speak

Have you ever felt like your self-care isn’t ‘cute’ or Instagram-worthy …but it’s what you really need? When I was younger, self-care seemed like this perfect little bubble of pretty things: bubble baths, face masks, aesthetic journal spreads, and posting cozy pics on Instagram.I thought if it

I wasn’t even planning to share this clip. I debated posting it at all. But I rewatched it, and something about seeing myself in that moment crying in silence, wiping my face, and instantly snapping back into “get it together” mode before my son fully woke up hit me differently.This is what functio

I started working at 14. Not because I needed to but because work became my escape. It was where I felt useful, in control, and far away from everything I didn’t want to feel. By 17, I was a general manager running my own store. People told me I was impressive, mature, “ahead of my time.” But no on

I’ve been caught between two mindsets lately: "I need to slow down and enjoy my youth,"and "I need to speed up before I fall behind." It’s like I’m constantly racing against some invisible clock but I don’t even know who set the timer.So here’s me, sitting in the middle of that ch

Lately I’ve had to remind myself and hopefully others too that just because I pull back doesn’t mean I’m rejecting anyone. It’s not rejection. It’s reflection. There are moments when life gets loud, even when no one’s speaking. The world asks for our attention constantly notifications, conversatio

New job came with flight perks… now I’m stuck 😂✈️So boom… I just got a job at the airport, and it comes with flight benefits. Which is major, because I’ve never really had the option to travel like that before. Especially not with my son.Now I’m over here like, “okay so where we finna go?”I really
