September is Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month & National Su***de Prevention Month 💜

These two causes are incredibly meaningful to me, so I wanted to share a little of my story.

A few years ago, I became extremely sick without answers while living far from friends and family. At one point, I was bedridden, barely able to walk, and unable to move without incredible pain.

I couldn’t work out or do the things that made me feel like myself, and I started struggling to see much of a future.

I was even told by a doctor that having a baby might no longer be possible.

Because I was young, I was told, “Just quit your job, lower your stress, and it will go away. It will be fine.”

It wasn’t fine.

Years without the treatment I needed left me with irreversible damage.

Eventually, I found a doctor who listened, believed me, and helped me start treatment. After moving home, I had to fight to be heard again when I knew pregnancy had triggered something else.

Thankfully, I recently found another doctor who listened, believed me, and recognized that my medication was no longer working. I’ll soon be starting a new treatment 🙏

Today, I’m incredibly grateful. 💜

I got to have baby John. I’m working out again. I’m playing volleyball again. I’m finding pieces of myself again.

My new doctor asked where I was hurting, and I said, “Everywhere, but it’s not that bad.”

I’ve lived with pain for so long that I’ve learned to minimize it. When he examined me and found that every joint was extremely active, he was shocked.

It reminded me how easy it is to normalize suffering when you’ve lived with it for so long.

Rheumatic diseases can be invisible. Mental health struggles can be invisible.

You may not see someone’s pain, exhaustion, fear, or what they’re carrying but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

That’s why awareness matters.

Listen. Believe people. Check in. Remind someone they aren’t alone💜

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of su***de, call or text 988.

You are not alone. There is hope❤️

Mommy’s night out with dad 🖤

*I was alcohol free. Asked to make my fav “Blueberry Gimlet” alcohol free and they did 🥹

It’s so weird being back and walking the streets again late at night. I was only out for a little over an hour (bonus having sis in Ann Arbor too so she can watch John 😆) but it’s crazy that this is not the same downtown I experienced when in school and when Andrew was in school. It’s bittersweet seeing places have closed but also nice to see they weren’t replaced with chains. It was cool visiting old spots and adventuring to new ones. It was also nice seeing one of the door people double check my ID 😂 I mean I know I don’t look my age but I def look older than 21. I’ll take it tho 🤣

UMich was a very defining time in my life. Lot of good, lot of bad, lot of firsts and lot of lasts. Regardless, I look forward to continuing to make new lasting positive memories with my family ❤️

Motionless In White reflection 🤘🖤

For the first time in 4.5 years, I got to do something just for me. Military travel was isolating, and not being able to see MIW was genuinely hard on me. Music has always been an escape for me, and if I could only listen to one band forever, it would be them🥺 I had Eternally Yours played during my wedding 🥹🤍

I used to spend my birthday or Christmas money on MIW. One night each year to reset and escape. I even traveled to Chicago when I couldn’t see them in Michigan 😂 This time felt different. It was my first time away from baby John for more than a trip to the gym and first time seeing them since I’ve been married and become a mom. Seeing kids in the crowd hit me differently because I kept thinking, I can’t wait to bring my future kids here someday. Now I have a little one who LOVES to scream and growl for fun, and I can’t help but wonder if he absorbed all that music before he was even born 😂

Watching MIW go from opening act → intimate headliner → playing to 7,500 people was incredible. Hearing Abigail and Immaculate Misconception again made my night, but it was honestly so nostalgic realizing how much has changed. I’ll always cherish the small venues and those early shows, and I hope the Creatures songs stay in the set. Seeing how few people knew them last night just made me appreciate those memories even more.

Things change, and they keep changing. It’s emotional to look back at where they started, where they are now, and how much life has changed for me along the way. I’m so proud of how far they’ve come🖤

Thank you Motionless In White for creating music that gives people an escape, speaks through thoughtful lyrics, and shows so much love to your fans 🖤

6 months postpartum check-in 🤍
The past couple of weeks have been WILD, and honestly… I’m exhausted 😅 But there are also some really exciting things to celebrate.

My 6-month checkup went great and my blood sugar is looking good!🙏 Having had GD, I’m at an increased risk of developing diabetes, so I’ve been really mindful of what I eat postpartum. At the same time, I didn’t want to deprive myself after being so strict for the majority of my pregnancy. I was diagnosed early while being tested for other health reasons, and thankfully I was able to stay diet-controlled.

Fitness has also looked a little different lately. With the nearby gym closed, getting to my usual gym for deadlifts and bigger lifts takes about 45 minutes between driving and walking. With time being limited, I decided to pick up running.

And let me tell you… I am NOT a runner 😂 I’ve always been a strength girl and only really sprinted. Before RA kicked in, my peak was 15 mph for 30-second sprint intervals. Endurance? Absolutely not my thing or at least wasn’t 👀

But I’m actually loving the challenge. I’m learning to pace myself so I can continuously run without stopping instead of starting way too fast and burning out early. Seeing my body improve at something I was never naturally good at has been such a cool experience.

It’s fascinating to see what the human body is capable of. Having a child is NOT “the end,” despite what I’ve heard people say. If anything, I’m accomplishing goals I either didn’t accomplish before having a child or genuinely thought I couldn’t.

Free time? HA. Ya, no 😂 Between clients, being EBF, taking care of the house and having a schedule that is basically impossible to predict, my Type A personality is constantly being forced to adapt. While the exhaustion and chaos are REAL, I wouldn’t trade this life for anything ❤️

Now that I know my blood sugar is doing well, my next fitness goal is to build back my muscle and strength. It’s been amazing to see that I can lean out while still protecting my milk supply, but I’m officially ready to get back into my building phase and I couldn’t be more excited 😍

6 months in and I’m just getting started 💪

Everything I ate this past week 😁

I make big batches of food when I make dinner so that I can eat it for lunch the next couple days or again for dinner. Keeping it simple but balanced and nutritious. Having repeat meals allows you to stay on track and save time when you’re very busy like I am 😩 it also allows you to enjoy eating out as well (at least if you’re similar to me who’s a big foodie but used to struggle mentally with the “unhealthy” of eating out especially if I didn’t hit my workouts as planned).

John got sick this past week (all good now 🙏) so I only worked out once as he got me sick right after 🥲 being immunocompromised I catch things easily and take a bit longer to recover so I completely rest (as in no gym) besides getting outdoor walks in and doing all my mom and wifey duties lol.

This week is a hectic week with multiple doc appointments requiring me to go back and forth back home as well as a family celebration, John’s 6 month shots, and him starting foods 🙈 my goal is to workout 3x this week but if I can’t, to focus on staying active and eating enough as when I’m super super busy I have to intentionally remember to eat (I know opposite of foodie life 😭)

Mapping out John’s foods and introducing allergens has been overwhelming but I reminded myself to take a step back and not over complicate it. Similar to how I meal prep for myself and Andrew, I’m going to do the same for John. Meal planning what I’m going to feed him each day for the next month as well as prepping batches and freezing them will help a lot. The biggest stress is honestly mapping allergen days to when Andrew can be with me because I’m terrified. Having an allergy myself that developed later in life and knowing many others with allergies it’s so scary how quickly things can turn very serious.

If you’re struggling with nutrition this week, take a step back. Simplify it. Focus on one thing that you know will help take some stress off. Maybe it’s mapping out your meals for the week even if you don’t feel like they are all “healthy,” you can focus on healthier recipes next week. One. step. at. a. time. You got this💪

5.5 months postpartum check-in 💪
*Photo taken fasted, after a workout, and with good lighting 😅 I definitely don’t look like this all day. I usually end the day bloated 😬*

I can’t believe how fast time is flying 🥹 John starts solids in a couple of weeks, and he already has teeth!

A reminder that every pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery is different. There is no “right” timeline.

As much as I wanted to jump back into my normal workouts, my labor and delivery complications meant I needed to take things extra slow and I’m so glad I did. I’ll put a brief overview in the comments (too long to fit here)

I’m still not lifting heavy because my body is healing, and I’d rather be patient than deal with setbacks. Taking the time to rebuild my foundation has allowed me to return to running and high-intensity exercise without worrying about my pelvic floor or incision. (If you’re interested, I shared my weeks 0–12 timeline in the post after John’s panda outfit 🐼)

I’ve also really dialed in my nutrition. During pregnancy, I had gestational diabetes, which I was able to manage through nutrition using the knowledge from my nutrition education. Even though my blood sugars stayed well controlled, having had gestational diabetes still increases my risk of developing type 2 diabetes. My 6-month blood sugar check is coming up, and I’m determined to pass it 😤

Now that I’m exercising more while exclusively breastfeeding, I’m continuing to prioritize my nutrition to support my milk supply and make sure both John and I are getting what we need while also managing my blood sugars and cravings. After needing to supplement with formula in the beginning, I’m grateful we’ve come this far 🥺

Parenthood doesn’t mean giving up on your health. If anything, it gives you even more reason to prioritize it. Your approach may need to change for a season, but healthy habits will always matter more than perfection.

And yes I still eat takeout at least 1–3 times a week and enjoy dessert 😍 the foodie in me wouldn’t survive if I didn’t 😅 it’s all about balance 😌

Stepping out of my comfort zone 💪

I did 3 workout classes this week... who am I?! 😂

I’m usually not a group fitness person, but this is my last full week home, and I’ve always wanted to try more classes. If I’m being honest, I was nervous. I’d done a couple during my internship with friends leading them and had a blast, but I could never bring myself to go to classes here.

So I told myself... it’s now or never.

There were 4 classes I’d always wanted to try, and I knew once I’m not home full-time anymore, making those class times would be a lot harder. So far I’ve checked off 3 of the 4, and I’m hoping to make it to the last one soon!

Shoutout to for giving me the confidence to give group fitness another shot 🙌 He’s an awesome instructor, leads fun classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and now Saturdays, and even joined me for a CTR class last minute Friday despite being sore. If you love HIIT and strength training, definitely check out one of his Alpha classes at Bloomfield Lifetime 💪

One thing becoming a mom has taught me is that life doesn’t stop after having a child. You can still grow, challenge yourself, and try new things. In fact, I think it’s even more important. Our kids are always watching, and the example we set matters. Taking care of yourself and continuing to grow helps you become the best version of yourself for you and for them ❤️

So here’s your sign: if there’s something you’ve been wanting to try, go for it. I challenge you to do one thing that’s outside your comfort zone next week or at least make a plan to do it.

You might surprise yourself 👊

Cardio doesn’t have to be boring 🐧 18k+ steps & 8+ miles later 😅

This weekend we took John to the zoo for the first time 🥹 He was instantly obsessed with the penguins… then immediately passed out for 4 hours 😂 woke up right as we got to the car 🙃

After grabbing food and recharging , we went back for round 2 before the rain started because I really wanted him to experience the zoo awake this time 😅 and it was SO worth it. The second he saw the penguins again, he started doing his happy little screams watching them shake the water off 🥺 That night before bed he was smiling, laughing, and “telling” us all about his day 🥹

The next morning I called and bought a zoo membership 😂 I already know this is going to become one of our favorite family activities 🥰

A good reminder that movement doesn’t always have to be a workout class or gym session. Sometimes it looks like long walks, fresh air, tired legs, and making memories with the people you love ❤️

Fred’s 😍

Yes this is THE FRED’S! My Ann Arbor peeps know what I’m talking about and if you don’t, no worries! You can stop by in downtown Detroit to see what all the hype is about 😱

I remember going to freshman orientation in 2016, walking down South U and seeing a place called “Fred’s.” It was one of the first times I had an Açaí Bowl and I immediately fell in love with the place. South U then went under construction and I wondered what was going to happen to Fred’s. They ended up moving to E Washington street and became “Wilma’s.” I spent sooo much of my undergrad at Wilma’s. I even did a giveaway with them which I’m forever grateful for as that was so kind of them 🥺

Then, C*vid hit. I was devastated when Wilma’s closed their doors. Andrew’s last year of dental school he ended up living right around the corner of where Wilma’s used to be. I would tell him how he missed out on that place and I hoped they would reopen so I’d be able to take him there one day. Scrolling through socials during the end of pregnancy and “Fred’s Lol” pops up on my feed. I only knew of one “Fred’s lol” and I commented asking if it was them and it was!🥹

Long story short, I’m so happy to see Fred’s is back and if you get the chance please stop by. They use top quality ingredients (some brands include Roos Roast, Zingermans, Purely Elizabeth) and the food is just so good 😩 peep the last few slides for some throwback Wilma’s/Fred’s pics 🥹

“Life coming full circle” 💫

If you asked me 6 years ago at (what should’ve been) graduation where I saw myself in the next 5–10 years, my answer would’ve looked very different than the life that actually unfolded 😂 I’ve always been such a type A planner, but life with Andrew has definitely made me embrace a little more type B.

Before meeting Andrew, I planned on opening my own gym. Technically, it could still happen…but I don’t think so 😂 Although, if the last 6 years have taught me anything, it’s to never say never 🤷🏻‍♀️ One of my biggest hopes in life was to fully live in Vegas, where I partially grew up. Thanks to the military, I got to do that for a year. It was perfect because I had more time with my grandparents.

After Vegas, we were stationed in Montana, which was a huge adjustment. Not the mountain-and-forest Montana everyone imagines either 😅 Traveling home to see family was expensive and usually meant 10+ hours of travel time, sometimes longer with delays.

But the people I met in both Vegas and Montana impacted my life in ways I’ll always carry with me. Some of those friendships are still some of my closest today. My perspective on life and the world is so different than it would’ve been had I stayed in Michigan like I originally planned.

Having most of my first pregnancy apart from my husband, spending half of the newborn stage apart, and missing my first Mother’s Day together has made me cherish every single moment we get as a family so much more.

Ann Arbor was such a defining chapter of my life. There was so much good, but also a lot of pain. Having my last semester end so abruptly (thanks c*vid) left that chapter feeling incomplete in a way I could never fully explain. Even though I went back later for both Andrew and the delayed 2020 graduation, it still felt like there was a missing piece.

Going back now as a family feels like the closure (and healing) I didn’t know I needed. Getting the chance to rewrite a chapter that once felt defined by tragedy into something filled with love, growth, and gratitude is something I’ll forever be thankful for 🤍
