Empowering women to use their profound light from within✨

10/26/2026

I’ve been a little quiet, but life hasn’t been.

It’s been a little bit of everything.

Spending time with my girly pop. Belly laughs with my kids. Catching up with girlfriends. Making memories. Finding little pieces of myself in places I wasn’t necessarily looking.

But there’s another side of life lately that doesn’t always make it to Instagram.

I miss Kenneth. I miss calling my Father. I miss the Mother I was before my children and I had to learn how to live with such enormous loss. And some days, I just miss Nikki.

Not because I don’t love who I am today, but because I loved who I was then, too.

And I think that’s the part I’ve been learning to make room for. Being grateful for what’s in front of me without pretending I don’t miss what’s behind me.

I’m here. I’m living. I’m learning things about myself I never knew. I’m smiling at things I never thought I’d smile at again.

And somewhere in the middle of missing so much, I’m finding things to look forward to.

I’m hopeful. And right now, that means more to me than I can explain. 🤎

💫 Has life ever made you miss a version of yourself while you’re still learning to love the one you’re becoming?

Apparently, I’m competitive about things that don’t matter. 😂

Fun moments and girl time with my girly pop, at 810dullestowncenter in Dulles Town Center with my favorite DC Mom Bloggers! 🕹️🎳

She’s growing up while I’m learning how to grow into this version of motherhood.

Just shaping the life I want to continue to live. ☀️

Learning that not everyone can move with me in this chapter of life.

Some days I’m just trying to get through my to-do list and look cute doing it. 💅🏾

My taste and my bank account need to have a very serious conversation.

Forever a spoiled girl. 🤭

I’m giving myself permission to enjoy things without having to explain why.

Another slime-filled day at Sloomoo Institute | #1 Slime Experience in Tysons Corner Center with two of my best girls. Omggg! You’ll have to check my stories + highlights to see us get slimed. 😩

A good meal, peaceful company and no rush to be anywhere.

There’s something about being around women who don’t need you to be anything but yourself.

We all met online six years ago and have ne

I thought I was bringing my daughter here to play… turns out, I needed it too. 🩷🧡

Sloomoo Institute | #1 Slime Experience is officially open at Tysons Corner Center and this was so much more than playing with slime.

We stretched, squished, mixed colors, made a mess and laughed our way through every room. We even received a few tips from the founder and architect behind the experience, which made our visit feel even more special.

As adults, we spend so much time managing responsibilities that we forget how healing it can be to simply pause, play and reconnect with our inner child. Watching my daughter explore freely reminded me that joy doesn’t always need a reason. Sometimes, you just have to put your hands in the slime. 😂

If you’re looking for a colorful, sensory-filled experience that both children and adults can enjoy, add Sloomoo Institute | #1 Slime Experience at Tysons Corner Center to your next DMV play date or family date.

📌 Save this for later and send it to the person you’re getting messy with. 💕

Apparently, I’ve been running in the right circles. 😉

Last night, I had the pleasure of being invited to One Washington Circle DC for an intimate first look at its newly reimagined space and somewhere between the warm welcome, thoughtful design and a glass of w**e in front of the ceiling to floor window, I started thinking… yeah, you can go ahead and check me in. 🤎

There’s something I love about a hotel that doesn’t immediately feel like a hotel. But, home.

The newly renovated guest rooms and suites feel more like a place you could settle into, spacious, warm, residential and intentional. The kind of space that makes you want to unpack your bag instead of living out of it.

And then there’s the location. Tucked into historic Foggy Bottom, One Washington Circle gives you that neighborhood feel while still placing you in the middle of Washington, DC. There’s history outside the door, city life around the corner, and a little exhale waiting for you when you come back upstairs.

What made the evening even more special was getting to experience the property at the beginning of its next chapter. There’s something beautiful about seeing an old D.C. address become new again without losing the character that made it special in the first place. ✨

Thank you One Washington Circle DC and Ten Ten West End DC for having me and allowing me a first look. It was such a beautiful evening. 🤍 LRA PR Hilton Hilton Hotels & Resorts Tapestry Collection by Hilton

💫 Now the only question is… which room am I checking into next? 👀

There was a time when I probably would have answered “What does success mean to you?” with a list of accomplishments.
These days, my answer is different.

Success is still being able to dream after life gave me every reason to stop.
It’s showing up.
It’s allowing myself to be in beautiful rooms again.
It’s supporting other women while continuing to rediscover the woman I’m becoming.

And sometimes, it’s putting on the dress, grabbing the bag and remembering that joy still belongs to me too.

I had the opportunity to support Kat Douglas (KD) for her Success Nothing Less event at Porsche Bethesda | A Sonic Automotive Company, surrounded by entrepreneurs, creatives, executives and visionaries having meaningful conversations about what success really looks like.

And I kept coming back to one thought:
𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

Congratulations, Kat, on a beautiful sold-out experience. Thank you for creating a room that made space for conversation, connection and possibility.

Thank you to AC Hotel Bethesda Downtown for the stay and hospitality that completed the experience.

I’m learning that I can grieve deeply and still experience beautiful things.
Both can be true. 🤍

▪️So now I’m curious, what does success mean to you in this season of your life?

𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗡. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀.

I entered 40 only weeks after the deaths of my father and my husband and one day before laying my husband to rest.

Last year didn’t ask me what I wanted.�It simply asked if I would keep living.

This year, took an early birthday trip to Curaçao. It was never about escaping my grief. It was about making room beside it for sunlight, sisterhood, rest, laughter, and the possibility that my heart could ache deeply and still open itself to joy.

That little girl on the cup had no idea how many times life would ask her to be brave. If I could hold her now, I would whisper:

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆. 𝗕𝘂𝘁, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

These women didn’t simply travel with me. They stood beside me as I met a version of myself I thought grief had taken. They reminded me that choosing joy is not a betrayal of the people we miss. It is one of the ways we honor the life they would still want for us.

Today, I am 41.
Forty won not because I defeated grief, but because after grief changed everything, I’m learning to choose to live.

I’m not moving on.�I’m living forward.

And this is for every woman rebuilding after a chapter she never asked for:

Your tears do not cancel your joy.�And your joy does not erase your love.
There is room for both. 🤍

Here’s to FORTY-WON, the year I learned that “still here” is something worth celebrating. 🥂🌺

I almost didn’t post these.

Not because I didn’t like the pictures.
But because beautiful moments feel different when the person you want to share them with isn’t here.

I still catch myself wanting to send him the photo.
Wanting to say, “Look at this view.”
Wanting him to see me still trying.

Grief doesn’t always look like crying in bed.
Sometimes it looks like clear water, sunshine, a cute swimsuit, and a woman quietly carrying more than people know.

🦋 Have you ever had a beautiful moment make you miss someone even more?

There are some things we only understand after life changes us.

Not because we’re stronger.
Not because we’re wiser.

But because we’ve lived through something we never imagined surviving.
I’ve learned that grief isn’t the only thing that changes you.
So do disappointment.
Betrayal.
Motherhood.
Love.
Starting over.
Becoming the version of yourself you never planned to be.

Maybe that’s why we recognize each other so quickly.
Not by our smiles.

But by the way we quietly carry what the world can’t see.

If you’ve ever felt like the old version of you no longer exists, I hope you know you’re not alone. 🦋

So tell me...
✨ What’s something no one warned you about after your life changed?

I have a feeling your answer might help someone else feel a little less alone.
