Now we’re talking about where we want to be stationed for half the year moving forward

Just a well-rounded gal over here 😂🌊

Washing laundry in the floor-to-ceiling shower, hanging it up to dry, making my own skincare, and putting on my @kissnails 20 years strong and I still swear by them 💅🏽😂

A little of this, a little of that. I like knowing how to do things for myself and finding joy in the everyday.

Just everyday living, babes. 🤎

Turns out, the slower life I prayed for looks a lot like this. 🤎

I get up every day and push myself to be grateful. Not every day am I swimming in happiness, and on the days I’m not, I acknowledge whatever it is I’m feeling. I let myself feel it but I keep pushing.

And on the days I don’t feel like pushing? I push just a littttleeee bit.

Because sometimes pushing through looks like getting everything done… and sometimes it looks like simply getting yourself through the day. Both count. 🤍

Life motto: Take it one day at a effin’ time.

This is your sign to try an anti inflammatory cleanse. After having a myomectomy and coming off hormones, I knew my body needed time to adjust.

Are y’all trying any new diets as of lately??

Xoxo, Bri ❤️

10 days into my 14-day spiritual + anti-inflammatory reset ✨

Morning & evening prayer, ginger tea daily, Paula’s Choice 2%, and meals that still taste like something:

Shredded chicken + blended squash soup
Saltfish + plantains
Jerk mushrooms over crispy green plantains
Steamed vegetables
Simply seasoned steamed chicken

No added sugar, flour, unnecessary preservatives and definitely not high fructose corn syrup which should’ve BEEN out y’all diet a long time ago! 😂

Nothing extreme. Just getting back intentional with what I’m feeding my body and spirit.

Xoxo Bri.

Kinda chic to recover in ways you didn’t expect.

Currently writing a piece on how I began to question everything, people, plans, validation and most of all security; even the version of myself that I’ve been dragging along out of habit. Baby, I put a lot more down than fibroids fibroids! New #fibroids Substack post coming right up!

I remember the gynecologist calling me virtually to review the scan I’d taken. She started counting the fibroids almost casually like she was counting grapes. Lol

I remember her getting past 10, taking a sigh, and eventually not even bothering to keep counting. There were simply too many.

I don’t know if she realized what that moment felt like on the other side of the screen. For her, maybe it was another scan. Another patient. Another uterus with fibroids. But for me, I remember sitting there thinking, “What did I do to cause this? How did I let my body get this bad?”

And one of the things I’ve had to learn throughout this journey is that fibroids aren’t something I caused.

There isn’t one single known cause of uterine fibroids. They’re benign growths of uterine muscle and connective tissue, and their development appears to be influenced by a combination of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, genetics, and other biological factors. Some women are also simply at higher risk of developing them.

So no there wasn’t a meal I ate, a vitamin I forgot to take, or some moment where I failed to take care of myself and suddenly created 17 fibroids.

I wish I understood that when I was sitting on that call.

Because before I could even process what was happening inside my body, I was already blaming myself for it.

Now I can look at these images differently. Not with shame. Not asking what I did wrong. Just with a lot more compassion for the woman who had no idea what she was about to walk through.

The last time I posted, I was on my way to surgery joking about going to “get these things sucked out.” 😂 I don’t think I fully understood what was waiting for me on the other side.

17 fibroids. Years of heavy bleeding, pain, exhaustion, fear, and learning how to live around a body that was asking me for help.

I went into surgery thinking they were removing fibroids. 16 came out. And somewhere between that hospital room and coming home, I realized there were some other things I was ready to stop carrying too.

I’m still healing. Still processing. And I have so much to tell you.

Girl, come on… let’s go suck this gut out! Is this the week or the day of the week? lol this week is the day I fly to NY to get my surgery. Does that make sense? 😂

I’ve been preparing for something major behind the scenes, and as promised I am bringing y’all along.
