if this random video found you… welcome friend. 🤍😎

i’ve been talking a lot lately, but i realized i never actually explained what this page is about.

truth is… i’m still figuring most of it out.

i’m trying to build a business while working a full-time job… (we’ll see how long that lasts 😂).

i’m trying to be a present mom.
a good wife.
take care of my body.
learn about money and investing.

and every now and then… embarrass myself on the internet 😭

i definitely don’t have all the answers, but i can promise you’ll always get the realest truest version of me.

if you’re an ambitious woman who’s trying to build a life you’re proud of… one imperfect day at a time…

i’m glad you found this little corner of the internet. 🤍

Turning in my keys was a feeling I honestly can’t put into words. Equal parts peace and bittersweet.

For over 10 years, my life pretty much had a rhythm. So much growth, relationships built and just so many memories I’ll carry with me forever.

Walking away from a routine is one thing, but walking away from the people is what stings the most.

Last night, for the first time, I didn’t have to worry about rushing to get ready for work the next day. I just laid there for a minute, probably longer than I’d like to admit lol, letting that sink in.

I’m not showing up here pretending I have some full on plan or that I have things figured out because I definitely don’t 😂

What I do have is support from my husband and finally permission from myself to slow down, breathe, and figure out what‘s next.

It’s probably going to be a little chaotic and very much real lol, but I’m planning on documenting it as it happens.

If you’ve ever felt called to do something else while sitting at your desk, in the car on your lunch break, or just going through the motions thinking there has to be something more, hit follow friend!

Let’s figure out what’s poppin on the other side together. ✨

y’all had us thinking Great Wolf Lodge was either gonna be the best trip or the exact opposite. 😂🐺

before we went, I asked for opinions and the reviews were mixed 🥴

but it’s safe to say we had a good time! this was our first little family getaway, and even though we only stayed one night, it was so worth it seeing Chance have so much fun.

a few things I’d recommend if you’re planning a trip:

🐺 bring your own snacks & drinks. you’ll thank yourself later.

🌊 with the indoor air and water both around 82°, it was actually pretty comfortable for the most part. that’s coming from someone who’s always cold lol

🍔 have a food plan. the poolside food was decent, but that buffet? no ma’am. 😭 I’d recommend eating somewhere outside the resort if you can.

🎃 check the activities! we accidentally stumbled upon their Halloween trick-or-treating, and Chance loved it. they also have arts & crafts, arcades, and other fun things for different ages.

overall, we would absolutely take him back. sometimes you just have to experience things for yourself because everybody’s experience is different.

have you been to Great Wolf Lodge? because I’m curious which side of the reviews you’re on. 😂 by @msnadean

15+ years in the gym is CRAZY to think about 😂

I’ve been through sooo many different seasons of fitness, and my perspective on a lot of things changed right along with them lol

Some lessons took me a lil longer to learn than others, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything

I will always love this lifestyle. I just see certain things a little different now 🤎

Do any of these resonate with you? by @msnadean

“dilly dallying” is simply running errands with no sense of urgency 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t make the rules lol

Buttt a few toddler-free hours with my mama, wandering around mindlessly in Walmart and buying something I did not go in there for? 10/10 😂

P.S. Mike would like you to know for the record that me putting air in my own tire does NOT mean I don’t have a husband. This was very important to clarify 😂😂😂

What do y’all do when you finally get a few kid-free hours? by @msnadean

Being unapologetically YOU is probably one of the coolest things you can do to separate yourself from everyone else.

And don’t get me wrong, I’ve fallen victim to following trends, using similar hooks, fonts, editing styles, etc etc 😂 because when you see something working well… naturally you’re like “maybe I need to try that too.”

But I’m trying to get better at asking myself “do I actually like this… or am I doing it because I keep seeing everyone else do it?” 🥴

Because trends can be veryyy helpful. Inspiration can be helpful. But I never want to optimize myself so much that you can’t tell me apart from everybody else.

Sometimes the thing that makes you different is literally just… you being you 🫶🏽

So post the weirdness. Use the fonts you love. Talk about the random stuff you care about. Create the way YOU want to and switch it up when you feel like it.

I fear I am a helicopter mom and may never be “sit on the bench and watch” kind of mom 🤣 jk that’ll change when it gets a lil older

But if he needs somebody to go down the slide, get on the swings, play hide n seek or just have a playmate… I guess that’s me lol

Although I WILL say, when another kid his age or a couple years older shows up and they start playing together… babyyy I’m clocking out immediately 😂

In the name of consistency AND enjoying creating, I wanted to post a little morning vlog without a voiceover because I did not feel like voicing-over today 😂

It’s okay to try different kinds of content and just have fun with it. As long as you enjoy what you’re sharing. And I actually love these kinds of vlogs anyway 🤎

Alsoooo did you peep the question toward the end? lol because I need to know 👀

Some of you know as a millennial mom, I recently left my job to figure out what I wanna do with my life lol and really see what I can do through content and social media.

A big part of that for me is community, but let’s be real… I also want to make a lil money honey 😂 and if I can help other women understand the different ways creators get paid while I’m figuring it out too, even better.

These are just a few of the income streams I’ve been learning about and exploring.

If there’s one you want me to break down more, let me know! Or if you’ve ever thought about making money through social media, what interest you the most 👀 just keep in mind I’m not an expert at all lol by @msnadean

Normalize complimenting other women because WHY NOT?! 😂

If I see you looking cute, I’m gonna tell you! You never know what kind of day somebody is having or how much a compliment might mean to them.

It costs nada.. nothing… zero to be kind, and sometimes the interactions you think are small and meaningless, can make somebody’s whole day. 🤍

Anywhoo, when was the last time a complete stranger gave you a compliment that made your day? by @msnadean
