I’m so glad you’re here.

Being a mom is hard. And when you’re doing it on your own, or with an unsupportive partner, it can feel nearly impossible. Been there. Done that.

I hope that wherever you are in your journey, if you’re already through to the other side or just starting the climb, you’ll enjoy my tips and stories along the way!

Why losing a partner isn’t the end of it all—it’s just one chapter

I have a little bluetooth speaker in my shower that I love. The other day, I had on Apple’s “Country Faith” playlist and the Florida Georgia Line song “Blessings” came on. I love that song; I do. But after going through my divorce, I no longer believe that rings true for me—I just couldn’t beContinue reading “Why losing a partner isn’t the end of it all—it’s just one chapter”

One of the hardest parts of going through a divorce and becoming a single parent is the wondering and the what ifs and not knowing if your partner will be there for your child in the future. Let the countdown begin! ❤️ Just a friendly reminder today🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Thanksgiving to you today. In the midst of the mess, it can be hard to find things to be grateful for—especially if you're in the middle of major life changes. How can you find joy if it's your first holiday without your child there? When it's the first one without your mom? When you've had to sell your house and you're trying to cook in a one bedroom apartment?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Three times this week I've been reminded of the importance of storytelling. First, it was a church sermon. Then it was @gabunion sharing on the @glennondoyle podcast. Then it was ANOTHER podcast with @laur_akins — And I was flooded with the memories of my first summer alone with two toddlers. They were some of the hardest days of my life—getting divorced at 31, raising a 1 and 3 year old on my own, and never knowing what my alcoholic ex was up to or if he'd ever recover. We're a week out from Thanksgiving. Hopefully if you're spending it with family, it feels like a big, exciting ray of sunshine! If not, why not? And what can you do to make the day great? Is your child or partner excited? Focus on them. Is no one excited? Don't go! If Covid has given us anything over the last 20 months, it's that we get to choose who we let in our bubble, and we can let the rest go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't say the word tween without singing the chorus of Britney's "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" - just me? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today’s mood.

I write books too.

You can find them on Amazon in paperback or Kindle.
