Woke up this morning to a feature in Forbes 😌

What started as me simply sharing pieces of my life on social media has somehow turned into a career, a community, a business, opportunities I never could’ve planned for… and now, a story in Forbes 🥹

What makes this moment especially meaningful is that my journey has never made perfect sense on paper. I got the degrees, traveled the world, spent years as a stay at home mom while building a personal brand, became an entrepreneur, and then, at almost 36, stepped into my first corporate role. For a long time, those felt like separate chapters but now I can see they were building on each other the entire time.

I didn’t get here because I had some perfectly mapped out plan. I followed what felt authentic, said yes to opportunities that felt aligned, and somehow one thing kept preparing me for the next. I see now that not a single part of that journey was wasted. So if your journey feels nonlinear right now, keep going. Sometimes the path only makes sense once you’ve walked far enough to look around and see exactly where it took you. 

Thank you forbes and Jasmine Browley for seeing a story in mine, and thank you to everyone who has been here with me while I’ve figured it out in real time.

Pretty wild to think all of this started because I decided to share my life on the internet 🥹💕
