FOR A CHANGE
And how do you even begin to figure out how to make it happen... The idea of it is so overwhelming that you stay superglued to exactly where you are: putting out fires all day, saying yes to too many things, constantly questioning yourself...and feeling too exhausted and overextended to do the things you enjoy like meeting friends for happy hour or going for a run after work.
I get what it’s like to be caught up in the spin cycle of life. That was me.
Working a demanding job, overwhelmed navigating unexplained infertility, and trying to find the time… and energy to enjoy life (but instead constantly feeling like I was letting myself and everyone else down). And then in 2009, the bottom fell out.
I was 14 weeks pregnant when I experienced a miscarriage—2 years into what ended up being a 7-year journey with unexplained infertility.
THIS was a TURNING POINT
I felt so broken and lost —and I knew that if I wanted to make it through, I couldn’t keep going as I had been. But how do you move forward when life throws you a curveball? How do you find happiness while also dealing with something really freaking hard?
What I learned changed my life and inspired my business. It's why I do what I do. Because we all face hard things—whether it’s infertility like me—a divorce or a health scare, the loss of a loved one or overwhelming debt, a job that’s sucking the life out of you, or even a global pandemic—and it doesn't mean you deserve it or you're doing anything wrong...or that there's something fundamentally wrong with you— it's just how life goes. It's one big mashup of the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Happiness isn’t about life going perfectly, it isn’t about always being positive or keeping it together all the time or things working out the way you thought they would. It's about living each day in line with who you are and what you want. It's about being able to be yourself, do work that matters, and enjoy your day-to-day. And it's about doing the things every single day to take care of yourself so that you feel good and can actually live in this way.
