Confessions of Growth & Grit 🦋
🧠 Trauma-Informed Single Mama
🧬 Healing & Cellular Level Biohacking
✨ Mindfulness
🌿 Kinda Holistic
🏡 Roofing Expert Entrepreneur.

Helping people reach their health & fitness goals is my JAM. I was born and raised in Chicago, IL-> I'm a Single Mom. Freelance Chef. Holistic Coach & Dream Builder & founder of Team PushPlay-It-Forward. I believe I was brought here live life to the fullest & help others do the same. Confession: I used to sit on the couch and eat a half a Watermelon, plus oreo's 4 nights a week and wonder "Why am I not Skinny." I know what a struggle it is to START... and now I see that the struggle was EVERY BIT worth it ... to know that I am living my life feeling confident in my own skin & proud of the work I have accomplished! I have learned that in life, you cannot inspire someone to truly take action and CHANGE with words alone... You have to FIRST be willing to TAKE ACTION yourself and reach outside your comfort level to prove to them that it CAN be DONE. Because of this, I strive to be in a constant state of growth & spiritual alignment and surrendering to all new challenges. I am motivated by FUN, lofty goals and things that seem impossible to others, because I love defying the odds and playing by my own rules. If I could give you one quote about anything in life it’s... “Hustle & HEART will always set you apart.”

Self-care is about more than bubble baths and scented candles... self-care is the practice of making sure you feel emotionally, physically and mentally strong so you can go after your goals. 🌊

If you keep making decisions from your current reality, your current reality will never change. 🤟💯💫

Last night felt like a PORTAL.

11/11… and the northern lights showed up right here in in our yard…. Pink, purple and green energy dancing in the sky…. like heaven reminding us how alive everything really is.

Ava looked up and said, “Mom… look at that.”
And it stopped me in my tracks. We talk about 11/11 as a manifestation portal…. alignment, awakening, new beginnings. We even wrote out 11 goals for iur family.

But to see it… to feel it… that was something else. Scientifically, it was a solar storm hitting the atmosphere. Energetically, it felt like the universe cracked open just enough for us to remember how powerful we are.

So yeah… maybe the portal’s real. Maybe it’s not. But I’ll tell you this…. when the sky turns pink and green above your head on 11/11, you don’t question the magic… you just say thank you. 💫💚💗

Having the courage to change, changes everything. 🦋

You’re not behind. You’re not missing out.
You’re just being guided to slow down and listen.
Your intuition already knows the way. 👁️

less consumption. more connection.

Trust. You got this. ⁣

Your past is not your potential.
Reevaluate & keep moving... 💫

Your trauma isn’t hour identity… It’s your initiation.

Trauma isn’t just what happened to you… it’s what your body, mind, and spirit had to hold when life felt too heavy to carry.

Mastin Kipp says it best;
“Trauma is any experience of threat, disconnection, isolation, or immobilization that leads to physical or emotional injuries and deregulates the body, emotions, brain, or spirit.”

So whatever fire you’re walking through right now… keep walking. 🔥
You’re not lost… you’re being refined.
You’re not broken… you’re becoming.

✨ Keep going. You & your life are on purpose. ✨

How come some hoodies do not be hooding the way that other hoodies hoodie? 🤷‍♀️

Apparently yesterday was National Daughters Day… so we’re doing this TODAY because life’s been… well, life. 💖

Nine years young. My old soul. The kid who notices the quiet one in the corner before anyone else does… the one who can read a whole room without saying a word, then cracks the joke that melts the heaviness like it was never there. By the end of the night, my friends are her friends… she’s running the group chat, collecting inside jokes like souvenirs.

She came into this world like a storm… and somehow became my calm. But not before adding a soundtrack, collecting passport stamps, and handing out unsolicited wisdom like, “Mom… you need to calm your nervous system before we keep talking.” (Said while holding a crystal, a Labubu… in a British accent… probably wearing a cape.)

She devours books thicker than my dresser drawer. Writes stories about characters finding their way home. Sings in the car like she’s on tour. Turns Jackson’s chaos into stand-up comedy. Narrates the grocery store like it’s a Netflix special.

She’s been through every version of me and still says, ‘I love you so much… you’re real pretty on the inside and outside, Mama,’ like she has a sixth sense for the moment my heart needs it.

Life can be messy. Routines shift. People drift. Some days feel heavier than they should for a kid. I see it. I feel it. And still… she loves hard. Laughs louder. Spins through the chaos like it’s a dance floor. 🙃

She turns the ordinary into magic. A broken shoelace becomes a TED Talk. The moon phases become our emotional weather app. A Tuesday night walk turns into a conversation about the universe, reincarnated squirrels, and whether dogs have existential crises.

And now she’s a big sister 🥹… loving and protecting like she was made for it.

She still wants cuddles… but now it’s while watching YouTube Shorts. She still lets me brush her hair… but only if I stay quiet like it’s a spa appointment. She still holds my hand… but only if no one from school can see.

My oldest and my youngest. ❤️🫶🏼 Literally. My why. My reason for healing, finding peace, for everything I have built and rebuilt. My favorite story I’ll never stop reading. My whole heart walking around in Nikes.

I love you forever… and a day after that. I thank God every day for your existence. I’d choose you in every lifetime… and I know you’d always find me too. 💫

Proud to be this one’s Mama 😍
