Incase you missed my IG story at the beginning of this new year, 2026… (volume on)

I never planned on making a “formal announcement”, but since humor is such a big part of who I am, this seemed appropriate, and in lieu of a new year, here we are.

5 years ago I haphazardly began a journey of tears and pain and struggle. But now, I find myself in such a place of peace.

It feels like I got a late start in life at this point, but I guess it’s true what they say, better late than never.

I am so grateful to my friends and family, and new friends and new family, who have supported me in ways I could have never imagined or dreamed of these past few years. To some degree, ya’ll made parts of this journey “easy.”

Some days I didn’t think I’d make it this far, but it truly feels like I’ve made it. God is so good. He is my strength and held and carried me when I couldn’t stand. My faith looks a little different, but it’s still there and I’ve fought like hell not to lose it.

I am hopeful for what happens next. ❤️🫶🏻

Most of you have seen me working on my physical transformation these past years. It began in 2018 and within less than 2 years hit my goal weight. My fitness journey progressed. They say at this point in life we begin to lose muscle. I am happy to report in the past year and a half I have GAINED close to 10lbs of muscle. Not a goal I had set out on. But I am so happy with it.

The past 4 years or so have been another transformation. Loving myself. Accepting myself. Working through my faith in new ways. It’s been a long hard battle. But I am so happy with where I am now. And I am so thankful for all the love and support I’ve had along these journeys.

A new decade is here. Looking forward to what’s next. And looking forward to being me.

Ya’ll. Your girl joined the barbell deadlift club today. 185lbs.

I never thought I’d care to do these. But some of these girls on the internet are motivating as hell. So here we are. [ @s_abdelhady ]

@charlesosinowo took me through some incredible movement prep and then just kicked my butt and took me through my first deadlift session.

So grateful for you bud. You’re incredible on many levels!

185 down. What’s next!?!

Real talk though. Life is really challenging right now. A really hard season. But you must find time to do what makes you happy. Few things makes me happier than sweating and feeling strong.

This weather. Is perfection. I knew I had to get out with my sign today. If you’re new here it’s been over 10 years of loving on people like this, in honor of #suicidepreventionmonth every September.

Today I spent an hour outside. Honestly. Loving on people in this weather, there are few better ways I could have spent that hour.

An hour full of honking and beeping, waving, being yelled back at “you’re loved too,” waves, and 🫶🏻 (heart hands), one woman slowed down to tell me “God Bless you.”

I always ask God to let at least one person stop to talk or ask what I’m doing, it’s my favorite part.

Well at exactly the one hour mark, a car slowed down, a car I knew had passed by. Often what happens. They turn around. I walked up the car and young man asked if he could tell me something. With tears in his eyes, he told me he’s going through something, and then he saw me, that God put me there. Over and over he said I’m going through something. I then had tears in my eyes. I shook his hand. Asked his name. DJ. Thanked him for stopping. Told him I will pray for him and that God’s got him. I didn’t tell him I’m going through something too.

Sometimes, the best way to lift yourself up, is to lift others up. Say a prayer for DJ too would you? If you’re reading this. Literally on the hour. He stopped. And he is exactly why I go out there every year.

God is good. Even when our circumstances are not. And remember. You are always. Always. Loved. And needed.

I know, another post, like we knew each other. But to have met Hayden just 3 months ago, read her book, binge watch hours of her on Nashville, and her to be gone in a flash, it’s got me choked up bad.

Happy Birthday Hayden. We weren’t so far apart in age, but it seems you lived a million lifetimes, with many pain filled chapters. I wish you were still here for your daughter. For your family and friends. The tributes and words people have said about you have been so beautiful and heartbreaking.

Though cut so short, your life left this world a better place. You touched so many through your talents, but I know even more by sharing your struggles. And now in your passing, you are touching even more. You left so much good in this world.

We remember you and celebrate your life on your birthday, my Leo and August birthday sister. I pray you somehow can feel all of this love.

I am forever grateful for May 19th, and these pictures, the memory of that day.

Rest well, Hayden. We will remember you always.

Life has been trying lately, but this, this wrecked me on Monday. The straw the broke that camels back.

What do you mean it was 3 months ago today, on a super hott Tuesday in May, I took the train to NYC to meet Hayden, and hear her discuss her book with Michael Strahan.

Just weeks prior I heard the book was coming out, that she was doing a small tour/signing, and it was super affordable. I said why not. I loved Hayden in Nashville. That’s where I probably watched most of her acting and figured this was a cool opportunity.

I remember the days leading up to the event and watching a variety of clips and interviews she had been doing, about the book, but really about the toughest times in her life. All I could think was how sad she seemed in those interviews.

The people at Barnes & Noble were not there to kid around. This was a book signing, not a meet and greet no photos and it was only at the last minute, I found out they were offering to take our phones to take candid shots. I’m so grateful they did that. But they were rushing people along so I stood online, trying to figure out what I could say to her in like 15 seconds.

The most important thing I said was that going around and doing all these interviews and re-telling all of these painful stories, could be a lot and to make sure she took good care of herself. She immediately grabbed my hand and thanked me for saying that, and for looking out for her.

It didn’t feel like a fan and celebrity interaction but like a human one, one I hope she carried with her for these last 3 months.

I took the next month and binge watched every season of Nashville and read her book. I’ve always been the super sensitive type the one who cries when the character on TV dies - so you can imagine this hit me a lot harder. But glad I re-watched, not sure when I’ll be able to bring myself to again.

I hope you’re at peace, Hayden and reunited with your brother. Our hearts are broken, but “nothing in this world, will ever break your heart again…”

The birthday started off with a sweet, funny, and thoughtful card and gifts from my Wall Team yesterday.

The actual bday started with a bday workout with the middle sister. Followed by coming home to a sweet note from my nephew.

Then a great catch up session with my muscle man @charlesosinowo who also bought me a bday smoothie. Thanks bud! So good to see you!!

Then @the_emilymo and Kyle took me out to experience @meximodo for bday dinner and dessert. Thank you guys so much for spoiling me. Love you guys so much!!(we also did almost get blown over as the storms began!)

Then ended the day with my fav cake made by my family. I love my vanilla Funfetti cake!

In the midst of some stressful times, I felt the love from so many today. ◡̈

Here’s to 41.

Last night we celebrated 10 years with my best guy and 10 years of knowing him and his amazing siblings. Life did not start out kind to them. But they are incredible kids who are doing wonderful things. They have grown up into such special humans with amazing hearts.

I am so blessed to know them and am so excited to see what else they will accomplish in life. They are truly rewriting their stories and I couldn’t be more proud.

Love you Dillon, Harmony, and Landen. I’ll always be here for you!

What an absolutely lovely evening for our BOOK-B-QUE! I had the joy of being part of a virtual book club for a few months (we read Better Ways to Read the Bible by @zachwlambert) and we had a little in person gathering last night. We missed all who couldn’t make it, but had some fun times!

Personally it was a much needed sweet time with some really good people. Recently I’ve been so grateful for so many new connections or reconnections socially, and have been reflecting how part of the journey I’ve been on the past few years has been this increased social life.

I’m so grateful cause it really has helped to truly love life again…. ◡̈

Thanks @ellalangleymusic for a great song and @zachwlambert for a great book!

Thanks @jandr524 for hosting and the cute goodies! Boys enjoyed the muffins my mom made too!

I was also the “resident bartender” lol.
