Quick life update because I’m honestly proud of myself 🥲 Yesterday my boyfriend and I did a LONG drive for the final stretch of my move. We started in South Florida, packed my entire car Sunday after church, said goodbye to my closest friends, and hit the road. We drove to the west coast of Florida, unloaded some stuff, stayed at his uncle’s house for the week, then went to Georgia for the weekend with literally all my stuff still in the car 😅 Of course a few things went wrong — speeding ticket, cracked windshield, just one of those weeks. Sunday we got back in the car, windshield broken, car packed to the brim, and drove straight to South Carolina, getting to my house around 9 p.m. Oh, I may have forgot to mention I have a cat. Everything you’re seeing here was done in 24 hours. And somehow I still made time to exercise, show up for my family, show up in my relationships, and show up for myself — without feeling like I was sacrificing one for another. I spent so much quality time with my family today, which made this whole thing feel even better. It was definitely hard (especially when my little brother came in and destroyed everything 😭), but I’m really proud of what I was able to do. Progression pics

The other morning I was getting ready, hair everywhere, coffee in hand, and I just said to my boyfriend, “I love flowers. They’re just so beautiful.” Totally random. That night, I got home from work and there they were. A vase of white roses with a handwritten note about how much he loves me. It made me realize sometimes people just need to hear what makes you happy. Say it out loud. You never know who’s listening. 🥰 What’s something small that makes you feel loved lately?

Hey everyone 💛 Just wanted to check in and share a little life update. Things have been really busy lately, and today it all started to feel very real. I just finished my last full time day at my current job because I am getting ready to move back home. Next week I will be selling most of my furniture and things on Facebook Marketplace, talking to someone about taking over my lease, and sorting through all the little details that come with moving. It feels like a lot to juggle, but the more I sit with it, the more confident and at peace I feel with my decision. Even though I am excited to go back to the people who love me the most, it is still scary and a little sad. I have built a life here. I will miss my apartment, my independence, and the friends I have made. But deep down I know this next chapter is the right one, and I am ready for whatever God has planned. Anyway, enough about me. How is everyone else doing? What have you all been up to? I would love to hear what is going on in your world and check in with each of you 🤍

When I was 18, I packed up my car and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida for college. I did not really know what to expect, but I was so ready to start fresh and figure out who I was meant to be. Fast forward to this May, I graduated college. What I thought would feel like a new beginning honestly ended up feeling a little bit like heartbreak. My stepdad and mom are going through a really hard divorce, and I have been trying to process it while living miles away from all my family in South Carolina. I have been working full time, but lately I have felt drained, lonely, and disconnected. Not just from the people I love, but from myself and from God. It feels like I know He is there, but I have not been showing up the way I want to. After a lot of praying and reflecting, I realized I needed a change. So this week, I did something big. I quit my job and decided to move back home to South Carolina. It is scary, but I know deep down it is the right step. I will still be working about 10 hours a week remotely, but mostly, I am giving myself space to breathe, reset, and rebuild. And part of that for me is pouring more into this group. This space has always meant a lot to me, and I want it to be a place where women, especially those navigating their own in between seasons, can come to feel understood and less alone. If you have ever been in that place where life feels uncertain or heavy, know that you are not the only one. I see you, I have been you, and I want this group to be a space that reminds us all we do not have to go through it by ourselves. If you know someone who could use that kind of support right now, invite them in. Let’s grow this community together and create a space that feels honest, faith filled, and full of women who lift each other up. I really believe we are better when we walk through it together. 💛

For me, mornings are everything. There’s something about the quiet before the world wakes up that feels so peaceful. It’s like time moves slower. I love having that little window just for myself to think, get ready, and feel grounded before the daily rush begins. Getting up is the hard part, but once I’m out on my balcony, it’s always worth it. It kind of feels like a treehouse surrounded by plants. I’ll attach a photo so you can see. The first couple of hours after the sun rises are my favorite, when the light is still soft and warm. Sitting out there with my water, juice, coffee, or tea, whatever I’m in the mood for, feels like the calm before the storm in the best way.
