  • If I had a dollar for how many times I’ve been asked, “So when are you going to start trying for kids again?” I’d have a private jet by now. ✈️ So I want to say... 1) I’ve been giving myself the gift of time to prepare my heart, body, and mind. I’m not even 27 yet. And I’m not behind. 2) I promised myself I would not share when I choose to step back into that arena. Social media creates enough pressure as it is and I do not need that in my life 🙅‍♀️ In all seriousness though, I want to encourage you to set healthy boundaries. While I have shared very openly about my story, I decided to let my family timeline and status be a mystery for little awhile. Because I believe you can still show up authentically while setting healthy boundaries. Read that again. I actually think it’s something we need to relearn as a digitally driven society. So if you’ve shared parts of your story publicly in the past, but feel that a little privacy would serve you best in the present or future, you’re allowed to set that boundary. You don’t owe the internet every detail of your life, even if you work online. On the other hand, if you’ve followed someone’s story and find yourself looking for live play-by-plays, consider asking yourself, “Why? Why do I need to see every detail of their life?” Perhaps it’s because you relate to them, or because their experience makes you feel less alone, or because following their story helps you escape yours for a bit (I’m guilty of this too!). And while that’s not necessarily wrong, I also know that isn’t always best for our mental health. It can cause us to compare or worry if someone were watching gets their happy ending before we do. And we can risk completely missing out on OUR life and OUR story if we’re constantly watching someone else’s. So this is my encouragement to you: You don’t have to share everything with everyone all the time, even if you have at other times. Do what’s best for you. And remember to be mindful of why you follow what you do + be careful what you consume... because I don’t want you to end up consuming so much of everyone else’s experience that you miss out on your own. 🧡 #ownyoureveryday

  • I almost didn’t post this because I was so self conscious about my little baby hairs that are coming in after I lost a ton of hair last fall but I’m posting this anyway because grown women don’t let insecurities that remind us of our past boss us around. 🙅‍♀️ ANYWAY. June of last year, I had the worst surgery of my life + was in the lowest place I’ve ever been. I was just SO stuck. And I decided I would give myself at least a year to heal and grow. This June, I turn 27. And I am an entirely different woman than I was a year ago. I attribute a lot of that to the Lord, as well as the habit of regularly taking note of small wins, steps forward, answered prayers, and simple things I’m grateful in the mundane of everyday. I started doing this last summer and it really helped me stand in the victory I have in Christ when everything in me felt like a victim to circumstances + unmet expectations. So I decided to create a journal to help other women who feel a little stuck, unmotivated, or even utterly defeated do the same. And WOW. The process was truly a labor of love. There were so many small details, design concepts, and purposeful additions woven into creating this tool. So many hands touched this project to make it so purposeful for you. Annnnd as it always seems to go with my books, just when we thought it was complete, we found a few things to improve and basically redid half of it, bumping our timeline back several weeks. 🙈🤣 Don’t worry, it’s better for it now. All that to say, whether you’re in the hardest season of your life, simply not where you thought you’d be by now, or just royally struggling with motivation, I created this to be a tool to help you find small wins to celebrate and move in the direction you want to go every day. It’s not about getting you TO a place of victory. It’s designed to help you live as a victor even before you get to where you want to be. The 90 Days of Victory journal releases in 12 days (my bday week!) + I cannot wait to get it into your hands!😍 Who’s ready?!💃🎉 #ownyoureveryday

  • This weekend, I found a journal I started last spring and flipped to the inside cover where I had written these words (swipe to see): “This journal is a mother’s journey from fear to faith, grief to joy, bitterness to trust, and loss to victory as she relearns who her God is and falls back in love with the Giver more than the gifts.” Here’s the kicker... I started this journal after my first loss and after the start of my second pregnancy. I wrote down fears and prayers and scripture for 70+ days until it ended painfully and abruptly. What happened to the victory? The joy? Everything I thought would be on the other side? I regretted journaling for months. I felt like I’d wasted my efforts. But now? Now I can see that the journaling, expressing thanks for each day, leaning in, and trusting was never about getting what I wanted in the timeline I wanted it. It was actually about the very words I’d written on the front cover. The victory is in the gratitude and growth I’ve experienced as a wife, mom, and woman. The victory is in His strength in my weakness. The victory is in everything, not just one single outcome. I’ve learned that I don’t think we get TO victory just by getting or achieving one thing or another. We can live IN victory every single day that we choose to see the good, acknowledge the growth, give thanks for how far we’ve come (even if we’re stuck in a rut or not yet where we hope to be). Idk guys. The fact that I found this old journal + these words just hours before revealing the OYE 90 Days Of Victory journal I created tomorrow night just hit me. 🥺 It reminded me why I had the idea to create this last fall in the first place — to help you celebrate the progress in your everyday life... the wins, the blessings, the lessons, etc. one day at a time, even if you’re not where you thought you’d be. So that, after awhile, you can look back and can say, “Wow, I may not be where I thought I’d be but I am thankful for how far I’ve come — and I stand in victory.” #ownyoureveryday #ownyourverydayjournal
