When I quit drinking I was terrified how I would navigate life without alcohol. Denial and delusion led me to thinking that I somehow could not live without the very thing that was making me the most miserable. 🤯 Think about that for a second. Absolutely astonishing that we would live a life that isContinue reading "Wake daily with GRATITUDE"
Thank You, Baby CoCo
I can put these pictures side-by-side but I can never compare these two women at all. They are not the same person. Not even close. When I was pregnant with Nolan (age 31) I remember telling some of my closest friends that 33 was officially going to be my year, the year for me. IContinue reading "Thank You, Baby CoCo"
Tiger Stripes with a side of Abs
For the last couple months at the gym I’ve skipped the treadmill and made all my weights heavier. 💪🏼 My goal was to build my core and my booty. Running like I had been was burning off too much of what I needed to gain. I was literally running my ass off! 🤣 So IContinue reading "Tiger Stripes with a side of Abs"
9 Months
Cheers to 9 Frankin’ months without alcohol. 👏🏻 This anniversary is extra for me as I have done 9 months before with all 3 of my pregnancies. I never drank or had any issue giving it up when pregnant but I was right back wine-ing it up as soon as possible after my boys wereContinue reading "9 Months"
You can not heal in the place that made you sick.
Everyday since saying no to alcohol, I’ve learned things about myself that I had been hiding away out of fear, anxiety, and past trauma. When you aren’t able to be your true self even in your own home this puts a darkness and negative energy on who you are. It makes you doubt, have guilt,Continue reading "You can not heal in the place that made you sick."
I birthed 3 babies. I can do anything.
A women’s body can do amazing things. Instead of using having 3 kids as an excuse why I can’t take care of my body, I use it as the excuse why I must. 💪🏼🖤✨ I carried safely 3 big healthy babies to term and my body did things I never could have imagined until childbirth. Continue reading "I birthed 3 babies. I can do anything."
Blowing out someone else’s candle will never make yours shine brighter.
I teach my boys that calling someone skinny is the same as calling someone fat. Telling someone to eat a hamburger because you think they aren’t heavy enough is just as wrong as telling someone who is heavier to have a salad. 😒 If we don’t have something nice to say, we don’t say itContinue reading "Blowing out someone else’s candle will never make yours shine brighter."
Growing + Evolving
Closing chapters and doors for me has never been easy. I always get a tug at me like I’m failing or quitting, but that’s not the case. I’m growing and evolving. When every dollar helps you survive; saying no doesn’t exists. You want me to make that? Yes! You want to buy 2726 of that? Yes! A new design onContinue reading "Growing + Evolving"
Healing from within.
A little over 2 years ago I left my abusive husband after he nearly killed me in front of our 3 boys. During the demise of our marriage, years of living a life with him that was horrible to endure I dove very heavily into drinking to cope. Help me sleep, numb the loneliness andContinue reading "Healing from within."
The mind is powerful but so is COFFEE
Takes a whole lot of discipline to talk a tired coco out of bed. Every morning at 415am my need to be the best I can be and my need for more sleep battle each other in my head. Most mornings I have to jump out of bed when the alarm goes off and startContinue reading "The mind is powerful but so is COFFEE"
