This space held me today — and I hope something I shared held you too.
Grateful to for the opportunity to speak, reflect, and walk through my story with intention.

This journey hasn’t been easy — IVF, cancer, healing, and still becoming — but spaces like this remind me I don’t have to do it alone.
To everyone who showed up, asked questions, or just watched quietly: thank you.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the last two years — and just how deeply this journey has shaped me.
IVF has taken a lot: my time, my money, my body, my career goals… even some relationships I thought would last forever.

I used to carry so much anger about that.
But what’s grown in that space is a woman I’m really proud of — one with strength, boundaries, resilience, and a deep commitment to her mental health.

I still don’t know why this is the path I was given.
But I do know I’m grateful for how it’s grown me.
And I’m forever thankful for the community of women who continue to walk with me toward motherhood — with grace, grit, and love.

We are embracing the snowy day by diving into our favorite topic: self-love.

As two single women who have both faced hardships like treatments, surgeries and heartbreak we have compiled a list of our weekly self-care practices that help us connect back with our own self worth and value.

The key takeaway is that we are all deserving of love and care - and believe that starts with taking care of yourself first

We have been steadily following the news about the California fires and checking in with our loved ones.

Praying our lions out in California remain safe.

We pray this will end soon, that there will be no more lives taken, and that families who need support find it quickly.

🙏🏽❤️

Oh, what a wonderful holiday it was! Yahira & Macee hit the pause button to soak in all the love and laughter with their crew ❄️🫂🐾

Kicking things off, we celebrated Macee’s birthday in chilly Boston, where Yahira rolled out the red carpet to the most fabulous Holiday Markets. It was frosty, but oh-so-enchanting and scrumptious!

While Macee was busy showering her furbabies with affection, Yahira was snuggled up with her little humans.

Between the holiday hustle, Yahira cheered on her son at his favorite sport, while Macee was wrestling with a pesky virus.

We were treated to stunning sunrises and twinkling holiday lights. Christmas was a blast with family, and we then manifested our dreams together for the New Year.

Bring it on, 2025! We’re ready for the adventure ahead! 🥂

This evening, we are delighted to host another private workshop with our lions in partnership with Elephants & Tea. ⁠
⁠
Earlier this year, we reached out to this amazing organization to explore potential collaborations, and we are thrilled to see how our partnership has blossomed. ⁠
⁠
Elephants & Tea is becoming an essential part of our retreats. The plan is to host annual tailored writing workshops for each group in preparation for the retreat. ⁠
⁠
We believe that collaboration and mutual support amongst organizations are a must in the cancer community. So we want to take a moment to thank Elephants & Tea for working with us and given us the permission to share their talents with out community – if you encounter an upcoming writing workshop on their website or an opportunity to write for their magazine, be sure to seize the opportunity !⁠
