This week, I celebrated my son’s birthday—and the greatest privilege of my life: being his mama. 🎉
Part of my journey to parenting involved sobriety and weight loss. I knew I needed to prioritize my health to have a successful pregnancy. I quit drinking in 2016, and I joined weight watchers the same day. In 2017, I was diagnosed with a blighted o**m and had a miscarriage. I found out I was pregnant again in January of 2018 and I reached my goal of lifetime WW member in March 🥴
I was fortunate to have an easy-going pregnancy and a delivery that went just about as well as it could have. I had an amazing birth doula & baby boy came into the world surrounded by love and support.
Building a business while raising a child has required sacrifice, discipline, long days, and more grace than I ever knew I needed. There have been moments when I questioned whether I could do both, but every challenge has reminded me why I keep going.
My hard work is not just about professional success. It’s about creating a life, setting an example, and showing my son what dedication, courage, and perseverance look like.
To every parent working toward a dream while raising a child: you may feel stretched, tired, or behind, but your effort matters. The late nights, missed breaks, small victories, and continued commitment are building something meaningful.
Happy birthday to my greatest inspiration. I’m so proud to be your mama. 💙
