Why I’m Starting This Blog

I didn’t start this blog because I had some dramatic diagnosis.

I started it because I’ve always wanted to write.

I keep drafting book chapters — in my head, in the Notes app, in conversations I rehearse on the drive to work. I’ve spent years motivating others, finding meaning in the mess, and turning hard moments into something useful — or at the very least, something human.

Now I just… have a topic.

Not the one I would’ve chosen.

But one I suddenly know a lot about.

And, apparently, a few other people want to learn along with me.

💥 From Full Speed to Full Stop

A few months ago, my life was full-speed ahead.

My oldest was graduating high school.

I was planning celebrations, planning trips to Mexico, and leaning into a season that finally felt like mine again.

I was thriving — in the way only a mom/wife/exec/fire-breather with a 25-year streak of pushing through can.

And then, out of nowhere, I couldn’t move the right side of my body.

Cue the medical maze. The symptoms. The confusion. The appointments. The waiting.

The part of the story where everyone starts saying, “You need to write this down.”

📝 Why Now

So here I am.

Not because I want attention. Not because I have answers.

But because I need a place to process this in real time — for myself, for the people who love me, and maybe for someone else going through their own plot twist who just needs to know they’re not crazy, lazy, or alone.

This isn’t a blog about being sick.

This is a blog about staying whole — even when life doesn’t feel like yours anymore.

🧭 What You Can Expect Here

  • Honest updates — the stuff that’s hard to say out loud
  • Gadgets and tools I’m using to stay functional (and occasionally fabulous)
  • Weekly recaps with wins, fails, and all the in-betweens
  • Moments of levity, sarcasm, motivation, and maybe a few tears (don’t worry, I hydrate)
  • A space that isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present

This is the blog I wish someone else had written for me.

Since they didn’t… I guess I will.

Thanks for being here.

We conquer as one.
