I'm not an expert with a fancy degree, and I'm not a guru with a perfect life. My expertise doesn't come from a textbook; it was forged in the fire of having my entire world turned upside down. If you've ever felt like you're navigating a life you didn't plan, fighting battles no one sees, or trying to rebuild from a foundation that has crumbled to dust, then you've found the right place.
For thirteen years, my entire identity was wrapped up in being a mother. I poured every ounce of my soul into raising my two sons, creating a world of love and stability for them. I thought I knew what the rest of my life would look like. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. I found myself navigating a new reality: one without the daily presence of my children, without a stable home, and without a clear path forward. I have faced the searing pain of cruel words from the people I love most, the soul-crushing anxiety of housing insecurity, and the frustrating, bureaucratic nightmares that come with starting over from nothing. I have known what it’s like to be jobless, penniless, and to feel so overwhelmed by the weight of it all that asking "what's the point?" feels like the only question left.
So, why should you listen to me?
Because I am still here. Because I am fighting through it, one day, one hour, one minute at a time. My advice isn't theoretical; it’s a real-time field guide to survival and recovery. I’m the person who can tell you not just that you need to get a new bank account, but what it feels like to do it with blisters on your feet after walking a mile to a job you’re terrified you might lose. I can tell you not just how to handle a toxic ex-partner, but what it feels like to protect your heart from the cruelty of a child who is being influenced by them. My wisdom comes from making the impossible choice to protect my own peace, even when every instinct is screaming to engage with the pain.
Here, we're going to talk about it all, with zero filters. We'll cover the practical steps of rebuilding when you feel like you have nothing left. We’ll dive into the messy, complicated world of healing a broken heart—how to set boundaries, how to detach from those who hurt you, and how to process grief that feels like it will never end. And yes, we will talk about romantic advice. Not the fluffy, fairytale kind, but the real, foundational work of learning to love yourself again. We'll explore how to identify red flags, how to build a life so full that a partner becomes an addition rather than a necessity, and how to believe you are worthy of a healthy, respectful love, even when your past experiences tell you otherwise.
This is a space for the people who are in the middle of the storm. It's a community for those who are tired of pretending they have it all together. Here, you don't have to be strong; you just have to be willing to take the next small step. I don't have all the answers, but I promise to share my journey with honesty and to create a place where you know, without a doubt, that you are not alone.
