Stop waiting for the fun to find you. You are the fun. 🪄

Every step of my journey has led me here. 💫 From dance floors and soccer fields to classrooms, online advocacy, and entrepreneurship—each role has shaped how I view advocacy, connection, and growth. 1️⃣ Dance Teacher: Adaptability is everything. 2️⃣ Soccer Coach: Embrace the unexpected. 3️⃣

I used to think success meant checking all the “right” boxes. 🎓 Graduate. 💼 Build a career. 💰 Make good money. 🏠 Buy a house. 📈 Always be moving forward. Then disability changed the way I saw success. Now, success looks like having the flexibility to listen to my body. Asking for accom

I didn’t “survive it.” I became someone else. Someone who stopped asking for permission to take up space. Someone who learned that being disabled doesn’t mean being incapable. Someone who stopped measuring success by how well I fit into a world that wasn’t designed with me in mind. Someone

They gave me a list of things they thought I would never accomplish. I kept going anyway. The goal isn’t to prove that disability doesn’t affect my life. It does. The goal is to stop letting other people’s assumptions decide what my life is allowed to look like. I’m still figuring thing

One of my favorite things about building an online business is having the ability to work from anywhere. 💻✨ As someone with a disability, flexibility means so much to me. I can work from home. I can work around doctor’s appointments. I can adjust my schedule when I’m not feeling my best. A

I stopped trying to fit into traditional work—and started creating a career that fits my life. 💙 For a long time, I thought I had to follow the traditional career path to be successful. But living with epilepsy, navigating disability, and experiencing workplace discrimination made me realize

I used to think advocating for accommodations meant proving I was capable enough to deserve support. What I’ve learned is that accommodations aren’t about lowering expectations—they’re about creating access. Advocating for your needs can be exhausting, especially when your disability is invis

The moment I realized I needed to create a different path… …was when I realized the path I had been told to follow wasn’t designed for the life I actually live. I had the degrees. I had the career goals. I had the plans. I had the “right” path mapped out. But life doesn’t always follow

August may not have an official holiday… but let’s be honest, my birthday IS the holiday. 🎂✨😂 Another year older, another year of growing, learning, making memories, and becoming more of the person I’m meant to be. 💕🥂 So while everyone else is waiting for the next long weekend… I’ll be celebr

I’m tired of having to prove that I’m capable. There’s a different kind of exhaustion that comes from constantly feeling like you have to convince people that you’re trying hard enough. That you’re not lazy. That you’re not making excuses. That you have goals. That you have something to of

Growing up, if you asked me what I wanted to be, the answer was always instantaneous: I wanted to own my own dance school. 🩰✨ Life shifted, health priorities changed, and my path ended up looking a little different than I originally pictured. But honestly? I couldn’t be more grateful for where I

Living with an invisible disability means people often judge what they can see instead of what they can’t. They don’t see the medications. They don’t see the appointments. They don’t see the fear, the fatigue, or the constant adjustments happening behind the scenes. What they do see is some

People love saying, “You should be more social.” What they don’t see is that for many of us with disabilities, chronic illness, or neurodivergence, being social can come with a real cost. Sometimes it’s managing symptoms. Sometimes it’s sensory overload. Sometimes it’s recovering for days a

There was a time I was seizure-free for 4 years. When my seizures returned, I expected to worry about my health. Instead, my biggest fear was having a seizure in front of my friends. Would they know what to do? Would they be scared? Would they stop inviting me places? Those thoughts stayed wi

Losing the ability to drive changed more than my transportation—it changed how I saw myself. Relying on my parents for rides made me feel like I’d lost a piece of my independence. They never made me feel like a burden, but needing to ask for help so often made it difficult to feel confident.
