Warrior Woman of Central TX

❤️ A little life update for everyone who’s been following my journey… ❤️

If you would’ve told me a few years ago that I’d be standing where I am today, I probably would’ve laughed, cried, and told you that you had the wrong girl. But GOD knew exactly who He was creating me to become. 🙌🏼❤️

I’m officially 2 AND A HALF YEARS CLEAN!!! 🥹😭❤️

Two and a half years of choosing recovery. Two and a half years of learning to love myself, forgive myself, and rebuild a life I once thought was too far gone. Has it been easy? ABSOLUTELY NOT. But has it been worth it? EVERY SINGLE SECOND.

I’m still working in nursing, taking care of people, and doing something that truly means a lot to me. I’m also helping manage a women’s sober living home, which is something I’m incredibly passionate about. If you or someone you know is looking for a safe place to start their recovery journey, PLEASE reach out to me! I would love to help. ❤️

But there’s something else that’s been weighing heavily on my heart lately…

My dream is to become an advocate for birth parents and survivors of domestic violence. 💜

Because I know what it’s like to lose pieces of yourself. I know what it’s like to carry guilt, shame, heartbreak, and pain that nobody else can see. I know what it’s like to miss your children so much that it physically hurts. I know what it’s like to feel completely alone in a room full of people, wishing you had just ONE person who understood.

And I know what it’s like to have to pick yourself up when you don’t even have the strength to stand.

I don’t want the things I’ve been through to be for nothing.

I want my story to become somebody else’s survival guide.

I want to be the woman I once desperately needed. The shoulder somebody can cry on. The person who listens without judgment. The voice that reminds another woman that her past doesn’t define her, her mistakes don’t make her unworthy, and her story isn’t over.

I want birth parents to know that their grief matters. I want survivors of domestic violence to know they deserve safety, peace, and a life without fear. And I want women struggling with addiction to know that recovery IS possible.

I’m not perfect. I still have hard days. I still cry. I still struggle. I’m still healing from things I don’t always talk about.

But I’m also living proof that you can come from some pretty dark places and still become a light for somebody else. 🦋

God didn’t bring me this far just so I could keep my testimony to myself.

So here’s to 2½ years clean, a career I love, helping other women find recovery, and chasing a dream that’s so much bigger than me.

I may not be able to change my past, but I can dang sure use it to help change somebody else’s future. ❤️

And if you’re reading this and you’re struggling, please know my inbox is open. You don’t have to have the perfect words. You don’t have to explain your whole life. Sometimes all you need is somebody to say, “I hear you. I’ve been there. And you’re not alone.”

I’m still here. Still healing. Still growing. Still fighting. And by the grace of God, I’m just getting started. 💜🦋
