the real glow up isn’t looks, money, or attention…
it’s no longer living in survival mode.
it’s choosing yourself first.
protecting your peace.
raising your standards.
moving with confidence instead of fear.
that changes your energy completely. ✨
Belated Mother’s Day post because honestly… I wasn’t emotionally ready to post this on the actual day.
Some grief hits quietly.
Some grief sits in your chest so heavily that even opening your camera roll feels impossible.
She was taken unexpectedly and far too soon, and I still don’t think words fully exist for that kind of loss.
I just know there’s not a single version of my life that doesn’t miss her.
Love you forever, Mom. 🤍
Sharing because this version of my life once felt impossible. I never thought I’d find someone I’d want to build a life with—let alone someone who would meet me with the same intention, every step of the way.
This is a small piece of our story, shared with a full and grateful heart. For five years, we’ve built something intentional, something steady, something ours—and walking through life with him is my greatest joy.
But this day… we fought for it. Life was loud, unpredictable, and at times overwhelming in the lead-up. There were moments it felt like too much, like maybe it wouldn’t all come together the way we had dreamed. And yet, somehow, it did. In a way that felt bigger than us. Truly, a miracle.
We said “I do” on the anniversary of the day we met… the day everything shifted in the most beautiful way.
GINORMOUS shout-out to our officiant/maid of honor Elisabeth Dawson for creating such an incredible ceremony for us and to Maquela Golioth , my other maid of honor who wins for best speech of the wedding week! I'm a complete puddle of tears everytime I re-watch and reflect on the parts you both played 🥰. I am overwhelmed with love and gratitude for you both.
Be brave enough to choose the life you actually want.
Not the safe one.
Not the expected one.
The one that feels like you.
Time doesn’t wait…
and neither should you 🤍
and because playing small costs more than failing ever will.
Wild how something that once felt impossible… is now just a normal day 🇪🇸✨

Grateful that time, distance, and life itself can’t touch these bonds. These women have been part of my life for decades. In a world where people move in and out like a revolving door, this kind of loyalty, love, and unwavering support is rare—and something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
