Sunday Follow Up|When One Good Bowel Movement
I didn’t expect one good bowel movement to change my entire morning — but it did. No back pain, no leaking, easier steps, and a whole new level of relief I didn’t know my body was waiting for. Sometimes the breakthrough shows up in the places we don’t talk about enough. This is my honest…

Life|🌻 Being Considered Normal
What does it really mean to be normal? We throw that word around like it’s something to be proud of — but maybe it’s just another box we’re trying to squeeze ourselves into.

Life|Saturday Stillness by the Lake
☕ Saturday Stillness by the Lake It’s Saturday morning, and I just dropped Kiki off at her class. The air feels cool and calm — that kind of quiet only Fall seems to know. I’ve got my Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte in hand and a book I’ve been meaning to read — “Perfect Is Boring (And…
