4:00 AM.
Not because it’s easy.
Because it’s important. ✨

Showing up for my body, my mind, and my soul before the world wakes up.

This weight loss journey isn’t about a number on the scale — it’s about strength, consistency, and choosing health so I can be present, energized, and here for my children. 💪👩‍👧‍👦

The gym is my therapy.
Movement is how I process stress, regulate my nervous system, and clear the mental fog. 🧠🤍
Some days it’s physical. Some days it’s emotional. Every day it’s intentional.

I’m healing old patterns, building new habits, and trusting that every small choice compounds into something powerful.

Mind • Body • Spirit ✨

For my kids.
For my mental health.
For the woman I’m becoming.

If you’re reading this and struggling — keep going. Even the quiet mornings matter. 🌙💫

✨ Life has been a whirlwind lately — concerts, a 10th birthday celebration for my mini me, Homecoming for my son, and even wisdom teeth adventures. 🥴 Through all the chaos, I’m reminded that this busy season is such a blessing.

My kids are my whole world, and every milestone — big or small — is a chapter in their story that I get to be part of. 💖 Life doesn’t slow down, but I wouldn’t trade a single moment of it. Here’s to soaking in the crazy, the beautiful, and everything in between. 🌟

Cheers to 40! 🎉
I celebrated this milestone all the way from Thursday July 24th to Tuesday July 29th — kicking things off with Mumford & Sons, celebrating with my beautiful circle of friends, partying with family, and wrapping it all up with an unforgettable night with Bush & Shinedown.

Entering this next chapter full of love, music, laughter, and gratitude. Here's to showing up boldly, aging fearlessly, and living fully. 40s, I’m coming in HOT. 🔥💃✨

It has been a super long time since I've posted anything on my personal IG. Some of my closest friends and family know I've been going through this whole new journey of finding my true self...my happiness.
✨️
People think climbing the corporate ladder, making the six figure salary or more, the success and having the amazing husband and kids brings you happiness and completeness. It doesn't.
✨️
What it brings is feeling empty, tired, lonely, sadness and hiding behind fake ass smiles. On top of it all I slowly started to gain weight on top of the baby weight from having kids. It just progressed into other bad habits that led to being irritable and grumpy all of the damn time.
✨️
One day I woke up and said I didn't want to live like this anymore. I started to eat better, walk, actually talk to my doctor about what's really going on with my body instead of ignoring things. I started to lose the weight and things were getting better.
✨️
Then another day a good friend Shannon at , asked if she could practice Reiki on me because she had just gotten her Level 2 certification. I had heard about it before and I'm always willing to support my friends! After that day I was hooked!
✨️
My life changed!
✨️
Here I am, today, on what would have been my dad's 72nd birthday receiving my Level 2 Reiki Certification and Attunement. I've lost 60lbs and I'm in a wonderful job that I love, I have a thriving business, I have such an amazing, incredibly supportive open minded husband who seriously loves me head to toes and I have amazing children who are just so incredibly talented and blow my mind away every day.
✨️
I am so damn happy and grateful. Happy Anniversary dad, I know you'd be proud of all your kids ❤️🍻

What are you grateful for today? 🤔

I haven't posted in a while, and there's a reason for it. I have been working on putting myself first and it's honestly been a challenge.

How many of you wake up and immediately grab your cell phone to:
⚡Check your emails
⚡Check your social media
⚡Watch random videos
⚡Respond back to texts you missed last night
The list can go on and on unfortunately.

I have really been putting myself first for at least the first 30 minutes of each morning by writing in my journal. I was listening to one of podcast episodes and there was a guest speaker, , and Anita mentioned how every morning she writes down in her journal the following:
☀️ 3 Things I'm Grateful For
☀️ 3 Things I Forgive Myself For
☀️ 3 Things I'm Going to do Today
☀️ All The Ways I Can Make Money Today
☀️ Every Way Money Can Come to Me Without Working
☀️ If You Had All The Money, What Would You Be Doing?

For some reason this really hit me and I realized that I don't put myself first or have "me" time. Being a mom of 3 rambunctious kids, a wife, a manager, a employee, I always found myself saying "I don't have time for me". Journaling brings me peace and puts me in a better place mentally.

So, what are you grateful for today? Comment below 😘

:::Vendor Shout Out:::
I also partner with other local businesses where my clients are looking for services or other vendors. For example, I send my clients to for all their skincare needs to get their skin looking their absolute best for their events! Prior to seeing Amber my skin had a lot of texture, was inflamed, irritated from my rosacea. Check out my skin in the photo - no filter and makeup free skin ❤ Thanks Amber, myself and my clients love their skin after seeing you 💖

Thanks for taking care of my bride Allison's skincare before her big day!

As I tell all my brides, it's important to hydrate and see an esthetician before the big day! That way your skin is at its best for makeup application.

This beautiful mother of the bride was a pleasure to work with this weekend. I love to see these transformations 😍

I just love how this bronze glow turned out on my lovely bride from last Saturday 😍
