POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today marks 5 weeks post-op from open abdominal surgery to remove a massive tumor from my right ovary. Margins are clear from any malignancy; I am otherwise healthy and recovering quickly. Still processing and grieving what this has taken from me, both physically and emotionally, present and future, temporarily and permanently. It’s heavy. It still physically hurts. The nerve damage feels like the skin on my stomach is on fire. My scar is creeping me out. My body looks weird, and I spent almost a month walking like a creature. No running, no exercise. If you know me at all, you know I’m a resilient little sh*t, but this has proven quite difficult. Thank the universe for THE BEST little village of women who just love, give, and support so freely. I will forever love you for helping me, visiting me, feeding me, and loving me during my recovery.

I’m posting this not for sympathy but for the connection of the human experience and to reiterate how important preventative screenings are regardless of age or gender. I’m not kidding when I say I no idea this was present in my body, but luckily my PCP found it during a routine exam and acted quickly. While these kinds of tumors are usually benign and not a medical emergency, had it continued to have gone unaddressed, it would have certainly become one. I got lucky, that’s not lost on me.

Now for the good part! Today I’m celebrating the my first run back in 6 weeks. Two miles - slow, steady, not quite confident (not confident at all), but I did it. It was ugly and there were tears. But I did it. And you know what? F yeah.

Onward ❤️

Grateful feels like an understatement wrapping up these past few months with the Woman of Impact campaign for the @american_heart. It was an honor to be nominated—and even more meaningful to be surrounded by such an incredible group of women throughout the process.

A sincere thank you to everyone who supported in any way—whether you donated, shared a post, showed up to events, or simply checked in and asked about the campaign. It all meant more than you know.

The experience was eye-opening and humbling in the best way, and I’m so grateful to now be part of the AHA community. ❤️

Our Game Changers Panel, moderated by @taritapreston, with @currentmile @dominiquepritchett and @odaymequesada

Our conversation touched on so many things, here’s a snippet of our takeaways from this group:
👣 Every day, CHOOSE to keep going. Start to live a life where you ENJOY the journey.
💭 Imposter syndrome is a misuse of our imaginations.
🚫 “No.” is a full sentence!
👑 Some think “I have to serve others to help myself” — You are the main character.
😅 Advocate for yourself! Stress is a major contributor of heart disease.
🤪 You are not crazy.
🕊️ If your peace is so peaceful… Why are you fighting so loud to protect it?
🍽️ To improve your Quality of Life, do “Girl Dinner” with other girls.

a successful May that included fam time in Chicago, so many miles on the pavement (running comeback …loading!!), lots of baseball, and more time outside. 10/10, no notes.
