Hi everyone! What a year it has been! I wanted to let you know that we are still here and still sharing Claire's story. I am speaking at Orangetheory Fenton on 10/17. I am hoping to set up some events soon! For those of you who don't know, I had a baby in April, our 3rd, so things have been absolutely insane! But wonderful!

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness month! 💜

Yesterday marked 3 years without Claire. I started the day at Orangetheory in Fenton. My sweet friend and coach, Samm, played the playlist that I have made called Claire’s Jams. At the end of class I spoke about Claire and how she passed and all of the work we are doing to prevent domestic violence from happening to others. We went to the cemetery and then spent the rest of the day at my parent’s house. I cannot even believe it’s been 3 years since this all happened. 💜

Hi everyone!

It’s been really crazy and busy in our world. But we are here and have some information about February.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.

Dating violence is more common than you may think, especially among teens and young adults: 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before becoming adults. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors.

I can speak from Claire’s experience, she was involved in multiple relationships where dating violence was prevalent and it started when she was just 14, a freshman in high school.

I cannot stress enough to talk to your kids, even starting in middle school about safe intimate relationships and boundaries. It seems like an uncomfortable conversation to have but it can really enlighten and make a learning moment for both kids and parents.

Also, claire will be 30 this year in May. Be on the look out for something to celebrate 💜
