In 1997, I became a full-time stay-at-home Mom.
I was 25, full of energy, fueled by dreams (and maybe adrenaline), and somehow functioning just fine on less than six hours of sleep. Those were the days.
But if I’m being honest?
It’s also when I put myself on a shelf.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped checking in on her - the woman behind the nurturing, the doing, the giving. Then in 2008, God gently pulled me off that shelf. And the dusting began.
2022 was another dusting season.
Not because I had put myself on a shelf, but because I hadn't really looked at what I was carrying. I was at my heaviest and so frustrated. There was inflammation from stress.
Residual tension from always being "on."

A body that had spent decades holding everyone else together...
So in 2023, I said yes to something small but significant: an 11-day jumpstart created by a friend of mine.
To my surprise, I released 24 pounds of junk (fat and inflammation.)
- I felt clearer.
- I felt lighter - emotionally and mentally.
- I felt my creativity return.
And just like that… less dust. More life.
I’m currently on a journey to release the final 20 pounds.
But it’s not about shrinking the numbers or pant size, although I will take it!

It’s about showing up for this new Over 50 season with strength and creativity.
I don't wanna BE 25 again but I excited to FEEL 25 again.
I’ve lived too much, learned too deeply, and let God work too beautifully in me to want to go backward.

But what I am doing is going inward...
Learning how to support my body with wisdom, not willpower.

And at 53? I’m feeling better than I have in years. I’ve chosen to support myself like I support others.
The same friend (yes, Martha Krejci) who created that original 11-Day Jumpstart, that MANY of you did with me, has created something NEW:
It’s called 25 in 5...a gentle, powerful 5-day wellness reset jumpstart.

I started using peptides a few weeks ago and have released 8 lbs and 7 inches...and I can tell you this:
- My body feels supported.
- My mind feels open.
- And I’m genuinely excited to move again, to create again, to live again.
The best part? The program is free to join! Here's more info on it!
You just need the peptides we’re using and trust me, they’ve made a difference. I am down 8 lbs and 1-2" released around chest, waist, hips and upper thigh. FINALLY! Peri-menopause, frozen shoulder for the 2nd time and stress of life the past 6 months have been keeping me stuck on the scale for over a year now.
Peptides are waking my body up!!!!
We begin SOON!
And if you’re curious… if your body and soul are craving something different,
something hopeful, it IS possible...
