It’s your turn: where were you born and where do you currently live?

I see a lot of new faces here, so I thought I’d tell you a little bit about myself. Thanks to my original gang and all my new family here! I can’t wait to tell you more about me and my family.

Also, any Liberian, Ghanaian, and Ivorian in the house? 🙋🏾‍♀️

Products I’m using will be linked on my stories.💚

Watching your first baby become a big sister is the kind of love that cracks your heart wide open 😭

I used to think I was doing everything right... eating healthy, moving my body, staying mindful. But when I found out I was prediabetic, it really opened my eyes. It wasn’t about cutting out foods, it was my body asking for support and more balanced habits.

That’s what led me to @usenourish.

With Nourish, I’m able to work one-on-one with a registered dietitian who understands my goals, my lifestyle, my family, and my cultural foods. We meet on Zoom, which makes it easy with my schedule, and everything we focus on is sustainable not restrictive.

What I appreciate most:

-It’s personalized to me, not a generic plan
-We focus on fiber, balanced meals, and habits that fit my real life
-It’s covered by insurance (94% of patients pay $0)
-Signing up and finding a dietitian who specializes in my needs took 5 minutes
-I feel supported, without feeling judged or overwhelmed

And my biggest shift so far?

| learned that taking care of myself doesn’t mean doing more... it means doing what’s right for my body, consistently, with help.

If you’ve been dealing with low energy, cravings, gut health struggles, hormones, blood sugar changes, or just feeling “off” — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I can’t believe we’re celebrating THREE already. 🥹

It feels like yesterday we were holding a tiny baby, and now you’re the funniest, sweetest, most curious little girl with the biggest personality. Getting to be your parents will always be our greatest gift.

Happy 3rd birthday, our sweet Zoë. We love you more than words could ever say. ❤️

Not going to lie… I didn’t realize how much I needed this. 🥹

Beautiful conversations, dreamy ocean views, and one very full heart.

#ad Mom life has taught me that being prepared is all about the little things. My @Kleenex Snap & Go™ has earned a permanent spot in my bag lately. It’s easy to take anywhere, and the secure lid keeps tissues clean when I need them most. One less thing to think about, and that’s a win in my book. #KleenexPartner taken in Los Angeles, California by @deddehhoward

I didn’t think I’d be working out again this pregnancy.

And if you’ve ever gone through a season where your body wasn’t cooperating, you know exactly what I mean.

Lately, instead of focusing on what I can’t do, I’ve been focusing on what helps me feel good:

✨ Gentle Pilates
✨ Daily walks when I have the energy
✨ Sunshine and fresh air
✨ Prioritizing rest without guilt
✨ Giving myself grace on the hard days

And honestly? Pilates has been one of the biggest gifts.
Not because I’m trying to bounce back. Not because I’m chasing a certain body. But because it reminds me that movement can be joyful.

If you’re in a hard season right now, here’s your reminder: you don’t need to do everything. Start with one thing. One walk. One stretch. One workout. Small things become big things over time.

Comment PILATES and I’ll send you everything in this video.

Can we help the pregnant mamas in the comments? 🤍

I’ll go first…

Skip buying a whole new wardrobe. Invest in a few versatile pieces that grow with your bump, you’ll get so much more wear out of them.

I’ve already worn these pants 5 or 7 times, and they’ve been worth every penny.

Now your turn… what’s one pregnancy purchase every mama should know about? 👇🏾

This is my second pregnancy, and these are the products I still haven’t skipped.

I know everyone says stretch marks are genetics (and I agree they play a huge role), but taking care of my skin has become one of my favorite little rituals every day. It keeps my belly feeling soft, hydrated, and a whole lot more comfortable as it grows.

If you want the links to everything I use, comment ROUTINE and I’ll send them to you. 💚
