Planting Life, weeds and wins…
I am a wife, mom, and lifelong work-in-progress learning to embrace this season of life with humor, honesty, and a little bit of dirt under my nails. After 19 years of marriage, raising teenagers (on the autism spectrum), and figuring out who I am beyond the roles I play, I’ve realized that life doesn’t slow down at 49, it just changes rhythm.
Here on my channel, you’ll find real talk about midlife — the ups, the downs, the messy middle and continuing to grow into the best version of me. Honest reflections on turning 50 and redefining health, beauty, and balance. Parenting stories and lessons from raising amazing kids with ADHD and autism
Peaceful moments and lessons learned in the garden (my therapy and happy place!) Real talk about self-care, self-acceptance and my wellness journey. Conversations about marriage, mental health, and finding joy in everyday chaos
My garden may not always be weed-free and my path is definitely not perfect — but it’s mine, and it’s full of growth. 🌸
