Eating Soup with a Fork

Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons through the simplest images. Lately, I’ve been thinking about people—some who fill me up, and some who leave me hungry for more. And the best way I can describe it? Eating soup with a fork.

Picture it. You’re hungry, sitting down with a big, warm bowl of soup, and instead of being handed a spoon, you get a fork. Sure, you can make it kind of work. You’ll catch a noodle or two, maybe stab a chunk of carrot. But the broth? The good stuff? It slips right through. You’re left with effort, but never fulfillment.

That’s what some relationships feel like. They take up space at your table, but no matter how much time or energy you pour into them, you never feel nourished. It’s all motion, no satisfaction. And sometimes, it’s messy—like soup dripping off the fork, leaving you wondering why you even tried in the first place.

And let’s be real, as a mom of four boys with practices, games, carpools, and the constant juggle of my own goals, I don’t have the time or energy for fork-soup people. I need spoons in my life—the kind of people who actually help me scoop up the good stuff. The people who see the chaos and don’t just stand by watching, but jump in with me. The ones who leave me feeling full, supported, and satisfied.

The truth is, we all deserve spoon people. People who bring depth, warmth, and enough substance to make us feel like we’re not just surviving the day, but savoring it.

So here’s the lesson I’m taking with me: stop expecting a fork to act like a spoon. If someone keeps leaving you hungry, it’s not because you’re asking for too much—it’s because they were never built to give you enough.

And honestly? I’m done trying to eat soup with a fork.

Forks belong in salad, not soup— and some people and habits belong in your past, not your future!

One of the hardest lessons in life is learning how to put yourself first.
As women—especially as moms—we’re often taught to carry everyone else before we even think about our own needs. I took on that role much earlier than I should have, and for years, I made sure everyone else was good before I gave myself even a drop of energy.

But here’s the truth: you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.

💭 Do you feel like you’ve lost yourself in the daily grind?
💭 Are you exhausted from always giving without time to refill your own soul?
💭 Do you long to reconnect with you before you feel too far gone?

If you whispered “yes” to any of those… this is your sign.

✨ Join me. Let’s sit down together and explore how I can help you reconnect with yourself, reclaim your energy, and start showing up as the woman you’ve always wanted to be.

You can have the life you want. Let’s get you there, one step at a time ❤️

This year I turned 37, and some days I love it—feeling like I finally understand more about life and what I want. Other days, I look in the mirror and see every scar, every gray hair, and every reminder of what I’ve been through.

There are waves of loving myself and being excited for the future… and waves of wondering if I should have chosen a different road. That’s real. That’s human.

But here’s the thing: I’m still learning, still healing, still choosing to love myself through the hard days. And I want you to know—if you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror and questioned yourself, you are not alone.

This wellness journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about grace. It’s about showing up for yourself in the messy moments, not just the beautiful ones. It’s about knowing that your scars don’t make you less worthy of love—if anything, they show the depth of your strength.

I’m walking this path right alongside you. You are not alone 🥰🤗

This year is one that arrived faster than I ever could have anticipated. I knew it was coming and yet I still somehow feel blindsided. Here’s to all of us with seniors this year or anyone struggling with watching their children grow.

motherhood, raw, real, chaos

🌿 August is National Wellness Month 🌿

This month is a reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, and make small changes that lead to big improvements in your health. Wellness isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about finding balance in the areas that matter most.

The 6 pillars of wellness are a great place to start:
✨ Eat Nourishing Foods – A Mediterranean-style diet full of veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats is linked to better heart health, lower risk of diabetes, and improved brain function.
✨ Move Your Body – Aim for 150 minutes of physical activity each week. It doesn’t have to be complicated—walk, dance, hike, play with your kids—just move!
✨ Prioritize Sleep – Most adults need at least 7 hours, and women often need more. Your body heals and recharges when you rest.
✨ Manage Stress – Meditation, deep breathing, journaling, or even stepping into nature can help you reset.
✨ Build Positive Connections – Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Make time for those who bring joy to your life.
✨ Avoid Risky Substances – Know your limits, protect your health, and reach out for help when you need it.

💛 Small, consistent steps in these areas can completely change how you feel day to day. This month, pick one pillar to focus on and see how it shifts your energy and mood.

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and writing. Wanting to share more of me. Wanting to share parts that others dont always see and or share themselves. I used to feel alone in this even though I now know I am not. I never want you to feel alone either. So here goes something I’ve been nervous to talk about, but honestly, it’s help build me into who I am and helps me show up better for you!

✨ I’ve been diagnosed with depression. Anxiety. And more. But here’s the thing—they don’t write my story. I do.

Every single day, I pick up the pen and decide how the next page unfolds.
Some days are messy. Heavy. Chaotic. But even then—it’s still my chaos. My life. My masterpiece in progress.

I am the architect of my own becoming…
Or my undoing—if I choose that route.
Because everything… is a choice.

So I choose:
🌱 To show up for me.
💛 To show up for my family.
🔥 To show up for you.

Not just in the light, but in the mess too. Because life isn’t one or the other—it’s a beautiful mix of both. And I’m here for all of it. Pen in hand. Fearless. Unapologetic.

So let’s share our stories. The light and dark. The ones that help us become who we are meant to be. You aren’t alone and don’t need to be.

Book with me now so I can hear your story and help you use it as fuel for your dream life!! ❤️

Last night? Yeah… it sucked.

Chronic pain doesn’t care that I eat clean (most of the time).
It doesn’t care that I work out, hydrate, and do all the “right” things.
It came in like, “Oh hey, you thought you had control? Cute.”

And I was mad.
Mad at my body.
Mad at the fact that I do everything right and sometimes it still feels like my body is working against me.

But here’s what I’ve had to face (even when I don’t like it):
💥 My body isn’t my enemy—it’s my messenger.

Last night wasn’t punishment. It was my body screaming,
“Girl, sit down. Rest. Stop trying to hustle your way through healing.”

This is one of the reasons I created Finding Harmony Within.
Because I know what it feels like to fight for answers no one can give you.
I know what it feels like to be dismissed, unheard, invisible.

It took the right doctor to finally believe me. And even then—I had to fight for my voice to matter.
That’s the thing about hidden illnesses… You have to advocate for yourself. Over and over.

Today? I’m moving again. I feel lighter.
And I’m reminded: rest isn’t weakness—it’s power.

So here’s your reminder too:
✨ You don’t have to be perfect to keep going.
✨ You don’t have to “have it all together” to show up.
✨ You don’t have to do this alone.

I’m here. Walking this road. Ready to walk with you too. Reach out whenever you are ready. Let’s make these changes together (even if it’s just mindset)💛

I get it. Life is a lot.

⚡ Kids in sports

⚡ Being a mom, a partner, and a woman trying to care for herself too

That’s why I’ve been a little quiet here. But I’m still here. Finding Harmony Within is still here—ready when you are.

When life feels like chaos, I’m here to help you find your calm. 💕
