At 31, I’ve followed all the rules—college, career, hard work—yet I’m still living paycheck to paycheck. This is millennial motherhood: unfiltered, raw, and real. The old playbook doesn’t work anymore. I’m rewriting it in real-time—for me and my daughter.

After two weeks in and out of the hospital, I’m finally home and healing. In this heartfelt reflection, I share my gratitude for the family, friends, and faith that carried me through. A raw look at recovery, motherhood, and the power of support.

A heartfelt letter to my past self—reflecting on love, loss, motherhood, and the unexpected beauty of growth through life’s challenges.
