  • Overcoming Body Image Issues | Body Positivity + Self-Love Journey

    Let’s talk about self-love and body positivity because “being at war with your body is so last season.” I want to discuss overcoming body image issues and where do they come from in the first place. Because being uncomfortable with your body is not just reserved for the “unfit.” So many of us suffer because we believe we are too skinny, too fat, too tall, or too short, and honestly, we have the media, celebrities, and even our families to thank for that. So let’s get into it!

  • My Missed Miscarriage Story |what is it, how long it took & how I found out.

    2020 was a challenging year, and then it got harder. Studies say 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. I never thought I would be part of the 1 in 4. Honestly, I don’t think anyone imagines they will ever be part of that statistic.

    I didn’t even know about the 1 in 4 until I was faced with my own miscarriage. The reality is when you get pregnant or start trying; you google things like “how to have a healthy pregnancy, which prenatal is best, do’s and don’ts while pregnant.” 

    You don’t search “what happens if I miscarry.” Not until your faced with it yourself, and then a whole new world of information opens up.

    However, no amount of research could’ve prepared me for what happened after I heard the dreaded words “I can’t find a heartbeat.”

    Going through a miscarriage is not only physically painful but mentally and emotionally draining and completely isolating. Add a global pandemic, and you have quite the shit storm.

    I’m sharing my story because it’s part of my healing process. I’m sharing my story because miscarriages are always surrounded by silence. And if opening up about my experience helps just one person not feel alone, then I think it’s worth it.

    As I approach the end of another year around the sun, I want to focus on the beginning of something new.

    As cliché as it sounds birthdays, New Years’ and anniversaries have a way of making you reminisce on the past. What you have and haven’t accomplished. And that’s not always a good thing depending on how you look at things.
