Full of gratitude that I get to start a new year on the cover of @austinwoman January issue!!

Founded in 2002 by @garvey.melinda with a mission to empower and inspire Austin women (does that mean I’ve peaked for 2022?!), I was ecstatic when editor Cy White and publisher @djweston21 reached out to me with the potential opportunity! I squealed with an excited “yes!” 

Then, they informed me it would be for an issue focused on motherhood, and I got nervous and full of doubt. “Surely I’m not the Cover Mom for an issue on motherhood.” All my insecurities came crashing to the forefront. But I took a deep breath, acknowledged my hesitancy, and tried to graciously say “yes.” In the subsequent months, those doubts of imposter syndrome have crept in a lot - especially when it came to posing for the camera (not my strong suit!). And here we are today!

This was 100% a full team effort - the Austin Woman Magazine team was amazing!! And special shoutout to my personal cheerleaders who knew I’d be nervous and wanted to surround me with love and support during this day. Thank you to EVERYONE who made this such a dream, for boosting my confidence, and reassuring me every step of the way!! (Shoutouts below 💙).
