My Intentional Mess: Blog Posts

When it comes to my life, there are so many messes that occur on the regular. I’m here to share how to bring intention to them. Welcome to the anti-highlight reel of My Intentional Mess.

I’m an optimistic-realist striving to make the most of life when shit gets real. My Intentional Mess is a space to share the ups, downs, and everything in between as I navigate personal development, career changes, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

I’m a wife to a career firefighter and mama to two beautifully sassy girls. After 10 years of teaching high school English, I took a leap of faith and switched careers (learn more about my story here). It’s been a wild ride rebuilding my identity and balancing all the roles we, as women, juggle.

Here, you’ll find honest stories about my journey, tips for personal growth, and reflections on making intentional choices even when life gets messy. Whether you’re a young woman carving your future or a wise woman like me finding your way after a major life change, join me in this journey of self-discovery and growth.

Let’s embrace the mess and grow together!

Please know that everything I write is based on my real life experiences. My purpose in creating these posts is to be vulnerable and share the stories I needed to hear as a young woman. My hope is to inspire you to find your own way to live an intentional life. Work through personal development. Build self-confidence. Practice self-love. Grow in empowerment.

I am inviting you to take this journey with me, knowing that the messes you might be walking through are much bigger than mine. If you find yourself in the depths of despair, I encourage you to find the help that you need.
