If you had told me in my early twenties that one day I'd own my own home, I probably wouldn't have believed you.

​

Back then, I was drowning in medical debt and eventually had to file for bankruptcy. I felt embarrassed, overwhelmed, and honestly wasn't sure what my future would look like.

 

But I kept moving forward.

 

Years later, at 30 years old, I bought my first house all on my own. I had a career I was proud of, was building a beautiful life with my boyfriend, and felt like everything was finally falling into place. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had made it.

 

Then life had other plans.

 

Over the next few years, I found myself facing challenges I never expected. I dealt with legal trouble, developed a shopping addiction that left me buried in debt, and more than once had to pick myself up and start rebuilding all over again.

 

Life hasn't followed the path I thought it would.

 

But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that starting over isn't failure.

 

It's part of the journey.

 

Today, I'm focused on building a life I love—not a perfect life, but one that's meaningful, intentional, and authentically mine. I'm paying off debt, working on my health, chasing big goals, filling my home with plants, reading good books, trying new things, and learning to embrace both the messy and beautiful parts of life.

 

This blog is where I share all of it.

 

The wins. The setbacks. The lessons. The things that make me laugh. The things that make me grow. And everything I'm learning as I continue rebuilding, dreaming, and creating a life that feels like home.

 

I'm so glad you're here.
