Celebrating Our miracle baby and soon to be amazing mama @tea.hannaford today 🩵💖🤍 It’s easy celebrating you and this next chapter. Honored to be a witness. Grateful for God and all the miracles around us!
I turned 39 on the 12th. It’s been a weird age for me. The last of my thirties, the start of my forties. It’s made me more introspective than I usually am. It’s made me look at where I am and maybe review it all a little differently. Some days leading up to it I was super hard on myself, some days I felt proud!
One thing I came out of this knowing though, was that I am exactly where I need to be, with all of the exact right people I’m supposed to be with. The birthday messages I received were the greatest gift and made it the most special birthday I’ve ever had. Because for the first time ever, I loved myself as much as everyone else expressed their love for me. I was so proud of how I showed up for my friends this past year and showed up for myself and how that reflected back to me through all the birthday wishes.
I may not look like I have “it all” at 39 but man am I lucky to feel like I do. So thank you to everyone in it. I’m so excited to finish this decade of off with the biggest, fullest, purest heart. And so many laughs.

Fix Michaela’s Face with @tiffany_yourskinprescription
Throne where we laser away black hairs. Yup I said it, my name is Michaela and I am at the age where random black hairs spring to life over night. Luckily @yourskinprescription they have the solulu to the delulu.
Treatments I did:
• Advalight
• Laser Hair Removal
When @tboyaficionado asked to interview me, I was honored. She sent the most thoughtful and specific questions about my personal journey — it felt like they were written for answers she somehow already knew were coming.
As soon as I started the interview, I forgot I was being interviewed. I answered like I was talking to a friend, not trying to inspire anyone.
When the article came out, I had it read aloud to me through the Substack audio option. I stopped chopping vegetables, sat down on a milk crate, and wept.
I spend so much time thinking about what’s next that I forget I’m exactly where I need to be. I forget how far I’ve come.
If I could tell you the amount of growth, stretching, and personal loss I’ve endured in this season of my life, you probably wouldn’t believe me.
I’m so grateful for people like Allie who can truly see people’s souls and are curious enough to want to understand them.
It’s these little glimmer moments — seeing and feeling my own progress — that make the next step easier.
So thank you for that, Allie 🌹
