“There is no great agony than bearing an untold story inside of you” – Maya Angelou

Every Superhero has an origin story,right? Well, here’s mine-

About a year or so ago I went through a devastating friendship break up, in so I took the time to reevaluate my life. Where was I? Was I where I wanted to be? Who am I? What are the things that I need to change to become the person I want to be?

In short, I had definitely lost my way. I was no longer the passionate, healthy, young woman that I remember. Understandably, motherhood and marriage changed me, but I suppose I was not prepared for the full metamorphosis and the easiness of losing oneself in the process.

“You were someone before you were a mom, and that person matters”

My first step in reclaiming my sense of self was to start doing the hobbies and passions of mine that I remember enjoying- exercising, reading, and learning. In so, it has been a balancing act-taking care of my daughter, finding time to myself, and making my health a priority.

As the last year has progressed I realized, I didn’t want to go back to the person I remember myself being, but I wanted to move forward and become the person that I had always dreamed of being- I wanted to become my own hero. I want this in the very true sense of the word by trial and error, learning, and growing emotionally, physically, and mentally. Now, that’s where you come in! I would very much like for you to join me on this journey! I hope to inspire you, entertain you, and help us both grow and become better than we were yesterday!
