As a website designer 👩🏻‍💻 for 12 years

As a website designer 👩🏻‍💻 for 12 years, my heart ♥️ is all in for the clients that I work with.

My day is based on the needs of the projects I’m actively working on, recently launched clients that need on-going support, writing ✍🏻 proposals, scheduling timelines 🗓 and ensuring work is on a seamless, wonderful workflow 🖥 for myself and my team.

I could work 12 hour days and it wouldn’t be enough. I only know this because I used to run 🏃🏻‍♀️ this way.

I would say “yes!” to everyone and run on 💨 fumes.

This was NOT good for me, my clients or my family.

As a small business owner, being mindful of a work/life balance ⚖️ is imperative.

Knowing when to pause ⏸ and take a minute, or an afternoon or a day away is important.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug 🔌 it for a few minutes.

Even you.

Here’s to Friday’s off this summer to spend more time with our growing kiddos... to more beach 🏖 days, to natural, sun-kissed 😍 skin and lots of vitamin D, laughter 😊 and time together.

This is the face of a girl that just did a shoulde

This is the face of a girl that just did a shoulder press with 30 lbs in each hand... yes, 60 lbs above my head while sitting... pressing to the sky and then ending with the dumbbells tapping ends before lowering back to a 45 degree angle. Not just once, but 8 times in a row.

Yes, me.

At 37, my body is finally following my mind. It’s growing stronger and healthier each day. It’s proving to me that I can and I will.

This body that has been through so much over the past 10 years riddled with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Chronic Epstein Barr Virus, Pernicious Anemia, Raynaud’s Phenomenon, SIBO and an unhealthy gut.

I am thankful for the journey but more thankful for the daily encouragement from @glutenfree_dad to keep going. To keep fighting, to keep trying, to keep healing... to lift heavier and see what my body is made of.

Thank you boo, for choosing me, for loving me and for encouraging me.

Killer hat from @wymansfruit 😍

I was a single mom for 7 years. Many of those year

I was a single mom for 7 years. Many of those years I was angry and frustrated. I was broken. Hurting. Frail.

I questioned everything. I feverishly searched every aspect of my life on what I had done wrong to have my life torn apart and flipped upside down.

It would take years.

Years of forgiving. Years of reconciling. Years of finding joy in all things.

One day, I had determined that God wanted me to be a single mom.

And I dug in deep. I was going to be the best single mama ever. My kids deserved that and I was going to get it right.

I read books on parenting boys as a single mom. I read books on what little girls needed when they had no daddy loving on them.

We prayed a lot. Went to church and found community. Joined a soccer league and found a new family of friends that loved us.

Then, Lenny.

Oh, this man is the best man.

I am so thankful for his heart, for calling Jack and Abigail is own. For seeking God and using biblical wisdom to help me parent and raise up these kids together.

I had no idea what God was working on in the midst of my storm, but He completed such a good work when He brought us together.

He is my favorite and I am so thankful.

It will be 2 years in October. Nearly 2 years ago

It will be 2 years in October. Nearly 2 years ago when I started sharing my story here at @AutoimmuneSisters with my autoimmune diseases and chronic EBV that started years before.

Like so many women battling autoimmune, I had symptoms and issues and complications and health problems years before a diagnosis arrived... and once the diagnosis came and the guarantee that the medication provided would work, I still didn’t feel good.

By sharing my story, so many women have reached out to help me... while others have learned from things that I have done to improve your own health.

At @AutoimmuneSisters, we truly believe that your story has the power to help others. Your story can give answers to other women’s questions. Your story can inspire hope. Your story can help us all find community.

Our mission is to provide support, resources and community and every single one of you that are there, are worthy of being there.

We see you.
We love you.
You are welcome here.

As our community continues to grow as an international community 🇨🇦 🇪🇪 🇩🇪 🇦🇺 🇿🇦 🇸🇪 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇮🇳 for women with autoimmune diseases, our vision grows to meet the needs of women everywhere while ensuring that all women feel welcome here.

Please join @FreelyMadi, @_ashleywallis and I over at @AutoimmuneSisters.

It all starts in the gut. To feel better, I had to

It all starts in the gut. To feel better, I had to eat better.

Without a healthy and happy gut, my body wasn’t healing and my autoimmune and chronic epstein barr virus symptoms were out of control. Curious? Read my last post.

Ever since I completely revamped my lifestyle again in February, the symptoms I had for 10 years finally subsided after just a few short weeks of committed changes.

I am fully convinced that this is exactly how I need to eat 90% of the time.

We now eat plant forward.

No, we are not vegetarian or pescatarian. We eat nutrient-dense whole fruits and vegetables with a focus on more plant foods at all meals.

When we eat meat or fish it’s wild caught or free range. Always hormone-free and antibiotic-free.

Our #memorialstayathome weekend is going to be full of chopping, cooking, sautéing, puréeing, roasting and devouring delicious foods.

Covering 2/3’s of our plate in vegetables establishes the balance we need for our bodies to get the right nutrients and antioxidants.

1/3: Puréed garlic cauliflower
1/3: Roasted Brussel sprouts in extra virgin olive oil and sea salt
1/3: Mojo Shrimp sautéed in citrus, garlic and topped with fresh cilantro from a @clean_cuisine recipe

This weekend I’m joining @thelittle_bigspoon and @love.yourfellowfoodie for their Memorial Day weekend foodie share.

If you’re ready to reset your gut and take charge of how you feel by using a plant forward diet, you should definitely join us on June 1st for an 8 Week Clean Eating Challenge. Want to learn more?

Last summer my autoimmune symptoms were uncontroll

Last summer my autoimmune symptoms were uncontrollable. Sure, I looked healthy spending time with family at the Sea Isle beach in NJ, but here’s what I was dealing with.

1️⃣Bloating 🙋🏻‍♀️ and constipation.
2️⃣Acne🧍🏻‍♀️like a teenager.
3️⃣Irregular menstrual 🔴 cycle.
4️⃣Exhausted 😴the moment I woke up.
5️⃣Energy support pills 💊 to stay awake.
6️⃣Random 🤷🏻‍♀️ weight gain.
7️⃣Mood 😍😭😬🤬 swings.
8️⃣Brain 💭 fog.

No one really knew what was going on except my husband. He carried almost all of our parenting, meal and errand responsibilities so I could rest and look for ways to heal.

I tried everything. Nothing worked. I was trying so hard and I felt broken. Unfixable.

This past February everything changed.

I was in NY with family while my husband was attending court in NC.

Everything about these few days was beyond stressful 😳😭😴 and exhausting and I finally had enough.

On the drive back home, I got some advice from my blogging partner at Clean Cuisine, Madison.

On that drive home, she talked me through exactly what I needed to start doing and guaranteed that I would feel better, if I could see it through.

Within 3 days of going cold turkey and cutting out some of my very favorite food groups, the brain fog lifted. I had my energy back. The acne disappeared and hasn’t returned. My weight dropped and I’m now back in the “garage gym” lifting weights and getting my heart rate up.

And it feels so good.

Eating clean and removing toxins and getting good rest and reducing stress has literally brought my old self back to life.

I have learned how to replace my old cookie recipe with one I love even better. I have learned to incorporate more fruits 🍉 🍎 and vegetables 🍅 🥬 into every day.

I have learned how to remove my autoimmune and disease symptoms naturally.

No magic pills. No magic shakes.

As people have heard my story, they keep asking me to help them too.

So, over the past several weeks, Madison and I have been building an 8 Week Clean Eating Challenge to help people just like you to slowly embrace a cleaner and healthier lifestyle.

Our Challenge launches June 1st. Are you in?

This delicious, amazing, flavorful and robust stuf

This delicious, amazing, flavorful and robust stuffed mushroom recipe reminded me how much I miss date nights with @glutenfree_dad exploring new local restaurants. How much I miss delicious appetizers made with clean ingredients.

So, we made our own.

And they were so good that we added them to our weekly menu indefinitely.

We paired the stuffed mushrooms with sautéed garlic shrimp and green beans tossed in coconut aminos.

Or you can eat them completely on their own.

You can find the compete recipe at @clean_cuisine or by going to https://cleancuisine.com/superfood-savory-stuffed-mushroom-recipe/

I get to watch dreams come true. The pure joy and

I get to watch dreams come true. The pure joy and excitement to work alongside women every day to see their hard work pay off, their years of planning come to fruition.

Watching a project take shape, the excitement growing, the anticipation of launch day... the successes that follow.

I want to encourage you, right where you are: your dreams are possible. Every single one of them.

That website you want to launch, the shop you want to open, the blog you want to begin, the agency you want to launch.

That dream and hope and vision you have inside of you is just for you. It’s the fire that will push you to pursue your ideas or it’s the fire that will burn out if you choose not to.

I am thankful and beyond humbled that every single day, I am chosen to collaborate with some of the greatest women on this earth. These incredible entrepreneurs have vision and drive. They work hard and never give up.

If you talk about it, it’s just a dream... but if you schedule it, it’s real.

Some of my absolutely favorite clients that will inspire you:
