Life is a wild ride, full of ups and downs, and honestly, it's my core values that keep me grounded through it all. Compassion and empathy are my “go tos”, they remind me to connect with others and really understand what they’re going through. As a mom and teacher, I know how important it is to nurture those relationships, especially when things get tough.

Embracing change can feel overwhelming, but I’ve found that I don’t have to lose my sense of purpose in the process. By sticking to what matters most (responsibility, self-reflection, and growth) I can roll with the punches. Im slowly learning that every challenge is just another chance to learn and grow, helping me figure out my place in the world and how I can support the people I care about.

Being a steady presence for my children and those around me is super important. I want to create an atmosphere of support and understanding, where we can talk openly and feel safe. It’s all about being there for each other, especially when things get rocky.

To stay consistent and grounded, I’ve picked up a few small practices that really help. Mindfulness, whether it’s journaling, listening to music, or just taking a moment to breathe, keeps me connected to my values. Setting clear goals helps me focus on what truly matters, and self-care is KEY!! I can’t pour from an empty cup! Plus, connecting with my loved ones and nurturing my relationships adds so much to my life and reminds me that we’re all in this together.
