December was a good one.

Full of family, fun, and being present. I was a little quieter here because I chose real life over posting—and I wouldn’t change it.

I also didn’t send a Christmas card this year (first time in 16 years 😅), so if you didn’t get one… you weren’t cut from the list. We’ll catch you next year.

Wishing you a very merry belated Christmas and a happy New Year. Here’s to more presence, more joy, and more moments worth putting the phone down for ✨

We’ve been pouring our hearts (and muscles) into a dream—and it’s finally taking shape. 💪✨

This space has been months in the making, and I’m beyond proud to share what we’ve been building… Recover Lab —a modern recovery studio designed to help our community feel their best.

But this post is really a tribute to my husband—whose hard work, incredible talent, and unwavering dedication brought this vision to life. Every detail, every late night, every “just one more run to the store” moment—he’s shown up with heart and grit. 🤍

And to our girls—may you always flex that kind of strength (inside and out).

Most work trips don’t end in a journey to the desert to ride camels, sand dunes, and ATV’s, but this last one did and I’m here for the adventure (but happy to be back home now).
My second time to Dubai was much better than the first. It’s taken some time but I’ve gotten better about acclimating to time changes (hello 12 hours difference) and staying hydrated and healthy on the go.
