There was a time in my life when I never imagined I'd experienced this kind of joy.

Recovery has taught me that healing isn't just about what we leave behind, it's also about what we choose to embrace. For me, that's faith, healthy relationships, movement, purpose, and learning to live one day at a time.

This page is where I'll be sharing my journey as a woman in recovery, an associate social worker, and a Catholic/Christian woman striving to follow Christ. You'll see the highs, the challenges, the dancing, the workouts, the prayers, and the lessons God continues to teach me along the way.

My hope is that if you're navigating addiction,, grief, anxiety, PTSD, or simply trying to become the person God created you to be, you'll find encouragement here.

Welcome to CV Redemption 🙌

I'd love to get to know you... What part of your healing journey are you focused on right now?

Becoming an LCSW is no joke! 📚🧠✝️ A master’s degree in Social Work was only the beginning. Then came registering as an ASW, completing 3,000 supervised hours, continuing education, the California Law & Ethics Exam, annual registration renewals, and ultimately completing the requirements for licensure.

Your girl has A LOT going on. 😂 But I’m already approaching 1,000 hours, and I know those 3,000 will come. One hour, one client, one lesson, and one prayer at a time. 🙏🏽

This journey requires discipline, patience, sacrifice, and faith…but Jesus is my strength, and with Him all things are possible. ❤️✝️

Today I gave my body the rest it deserved. 🤎 The scale hit a healthy 134 lbs, and I’m getting closer to my goal of a healthy 130…but the biggest transformation has been learning to love myself the way God loves me. 🙏🏽😇🤎

Giving Him ALL the glory for every blessing, every lesson, and every ounce of strength along this journey. Resting when I need to, working when it’s time, and becoming a stronger woman inside and out. 💪🏽🤎

Happy 34th Birthday to my best friend, my sister in Christ, my dancing partner, and quite possibly the love of my life 😂❤️‍🔥💃🏽

Our little love story started at Set Free when you shared your testimony. Then I saw you at Women’s Bible Study and thought, “Okayyyy… there’s something about this girl.” 😏 I could see how genuinely you wanted to surrender your pain, anxiety, and suffering to the Lord and allow Him to write a new story for your life. Watching your faith and redemption unfold has been beautiful.

But THEN I got to know that personality. 😂 The humor, the wild side, the dancing, that beautiful smile, and that fun-loving spirit… yeah, you had me. You a bad bitch and NO ONE can deny that. 🤎

Somewhere between dancing together, laughing until we couldn’t breathe, talking about Jesus, and sharing the deepest and most personal parts of ourselves, you became someone I genuinely cannot imagine my life without.

I’ll always be here to love you, cherish you, hype you up, dance with you, pray with you, flirt with you just enough to keep people wondering 😂😏 and remind you of your story of redemption whenever you forget just how far God has brought you. Though things might get you down, I want to be there to ALWAYS lift you up!!!

And your babies? They are absolutely amazing. The way they love you speaks volumes about the woman and mother you are. Your love, strength, humor, and faith live through them too.

Here’s to 34, beautiful. 🥂❤️‍🔥 May this year bring you deeper healing, bigger blessings, more laughter, more dancing, and everything your heart deserves.

I love you more than you probably realize…I’m so thankful that God has blessed me with a true friend in you!!!😘 by @sicnic27

In my element at 5 AM. 💪🏽🔥 Started the day choosing discipline and showing up for myself!

Leg day: hip abductions + adductions, leg press, hamstring curls & calf raises 3 sets × 13 reps each. Then military calisthenics: sit-ups, bicycle crunches & leg lifts 3×13, plus 3×45 sec planks. Finished strong with a 10 minute run at 5.2 mph. 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

Early mornings, consistency, and becoming stronger one workout at a time. 🙏🏽❤️ All glory to God…5 AM and in my element!

You don’t have to fight every battle or respond to every person who disrupts your peace. 🤍 God is my provider, Jesus is my peace, and the Holy Spirit is my guide. 🙏🏽

✝️ When life feels heavy or people disappoint you, pray before you react, protect your peace, and trust God with what you cannot control. No hate, all love..and let God handle the rest. 🤎

Matthew 23:1–12 reminds me that faith isn’t about being seen…it’s about serving. 🤎 We don’t need titles, recognition, or applause when our hearts are focused on Jesus. Stay humble, stay teachable, and let your life reflect what you believe. 🙏🏽✝️

“The greatest among you must be your servant.” Matthew 23:11 🤎

Sometimes you need a day to decompress, reset, and simply be. 🤎

Life may feel overwhelming and the to-do list may be long, but today I’m choosing gratitude over pressure. 🙏🏽

New week, fresh start, same faithful God. Praise Jesus for every blessing, seen and unseen.

🤎 One day, one task, one prayer at a time. 🤎

Tonight we put our OWN twist on homemade Alfredo 😮‍💨🔥🍝

We loaded it up with:
🍤 Shrimp
🦀 Imitation crab
🌭 Italian sausage

And seasoned everything with **Old Bay, lemon pepper, fresh garlic, seasoned salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder & onion powder.** 🤌🏽

🧄 **Homemade Creamy Alfredo Sauce:**
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2–3 cloves fresh minced garlic
• 6 oz cream cheese
• 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
• 1–1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Black pepper & salt to taste
• Italian seasoning to taste

**For the sauce:** Melt the butter over medium-low heat and sauté the fresh garlic for about 30 seconds. Add the cream cheese and stir until it begins to melt. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Let it gently simmer for 3–5 minutes, then lower the heat and gradually stir in the Parmesan until melted. Season with black pepper, a little salt, and Italian seasoning.

Then toss in the pasta, shrimp, crab & Italian sausage and let all those flavors come together. 🔥

Homemade Alfredo just hits DIFFERENT when you season it yourself. 😮‍💨🤌🏽🍝

🤎🤎🤎Dinner Time 🤎🤎🤎
on the days when I’m feeling lazy…

Girl, I cannot be lazy because I love homemade salsa. So I like to use jalapeños, Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, squeeze of a whole lemon, and my spicy include a chicken bouillon, seasoned salt, garlic salt, cumin, pepper, and paprika.

I was too lazy to me homemade beans so I use the canned Rosarita refried beans with jalapeños so delicious.

I did make homemade rice in which I fry up the jasmine rice until it’s golden brown, sauté the onions and tomatoes along with the jasmine rice. 2 cups of rice with 4 cups of water. Again a lazy day so I used tomato sauce rather than blending more tomatoes and onion and garlic season with chicken, bouillon and garlic salt.

I used ground turkey for the meat with chopped jalapeño, onion, and tomato, seasoned with all the seasonings above and added some El Pato sauce. Give it some good flavor.

Might not look too appealing, but it was delicious. I promise. 😋 #cvredemption #homemadesalsa #skinnyqueen by @sicnic27
