Welcome to the Blog: Why I Started + The Advice I Wish Someone Gave Me Sooner

Hey bestie

I’m so glad you’re here—seriously. Whether you stumbled across this blog through Instagram, a friend, or just pure curiosity, welcome to a space created with you in mind.

This blog was born from a simple but powerful thought: “I wish someone would’ve told me this.”

So many times I found myself navigating love, finances, work drama, burnout, breakups, glow-ups—everything—feeling like I was the only one stumbling through it all. And while I’ve been blessed with some amazing people in my corner, there were moments where I just wanted a space where someone kept it real, offered encouragement, and reminded me that I wasn’t behind in life just because it looked different than I expected.

That’s what this blog is.

A space for the conversations we wish we had sooner. A space for the reminders we all need. A space for us.

So… why this blog?

Because I believe in sharing what I’m learning in real-time.

I’ll be writing about:

• Relationships — the healthy, the hard, and everything in between

• Career & finance — lessons from navigating the work world + growing financially

• Wellness — mental health, mindset shifts, healing, and peace

• Travel — where to go, how to plan, and traveling even on a budget

• Fashion — finding your style and dressing for you, not the timeline

It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about figuring it out together.

The Advice I Wish Someone Gave Me Sooner

To kick things off, I wanted to share a few truths I learned the hard way:

1. You’re not behind. Your timeline is not late. Life isn’t a checklist—it’s a journey, and you’re allowed to do it at your own pace.

2. Boundaries aren’t selfish. Saying "no" doesn’t make you mean. It makes you whole. Protecting your peace is an act of love—especially for yourself.

3. You don’t need to wait to be confident. Confidence comes from action, not perfection. Start the thing. Wear the outfit. Apply for the job. You’re more ready than you think.

4. People come and go—and that’s okay. Everyone doesn’t deserve lifetime access. Letting go doesn’t mean failure, it means freedom.

5. You’re allowed to want more. More joy. More love. More success. Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful—it means you’re growing.

Let’s Do This Together

So that’s the heart behind this blog: real conversations, soft landings, and bold encouragement for women building their lives with intention.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to grow with you.
