the 30 before 30 challenge — go on a girls only trip

DISCLAIMER: Prepare yourself for picture overload! Back in June of 2013, my two girlfriends and I traveled to beautiful island of Maui, which allowed me to cross off the “Go on a ‘Girls Only’ Trip” task on my 30 before 30 challenge. We were all coming out of interesting times in our lives. Being friends from …

…BUT it will be one of the BEST decisions she ev …BUT it will be one of the BEST decisions she ever made for herself.
🙏🏼💗

Divorce is scary and complex. There were so many moments I second-guessed myself, even when everything in me was screaming that I needed to leave. Still, so many things kept me stuck:
– the fear of what others would think
– the fear of losing mutual friends
– the fear of whether I could make it on my own
– and the fear of ever being loved again… or of loving someone as a divorcée.

This month marks ONE YEAR since I finally put my foot down and began advocating for myself—my happiness, my peace, my wants and needs. The version of me who had been slowly disappearing under the weight of criticism, control, and emotional abuse.

One year. It feels like a lifetime—and yet somehow, it still feels like just last month.

If “today me” could go back and sit with the scared woman at that gala, I’d tell her:

⭐️ You’re going to be better than okay—you’re going to be so much happier.
⏳ You’ll look back and wonder why you didn’t take the leap sooner.
🧺 You’ll get to make decisions again, even small ones, without being ridiculed—like how you load the dishwasher or when you fold laundry.
✂️ You’ll start to weed out people who weren’t truly in your corner. It might hurt, but it will be freeing.
🧠 You’ll keep showing up to therapy—lots of therapy—and your therapist will beam with pride at your growth and happiness.
❤️‍🔥 You’ll hear from so many people who love you just how proud and inspired they are.
👀 You’ll realize people did see the pain and the abuse—you weren’t imagining it.
🌸 You’ll meet someone who treats you with kindness, gentleness, and patience, helping you rediscover who you are.
🌈 You NEED to do this—because what’s coming next is more beautiful than you could imagine.

To anyone who is in this place—confused, stuck, scared to take the first step:
I see you. I was you. And I promise, there’s light on the other side.

Let it hurt… then let it go. 💔➡️💖 I k Let it hurt… then let it go. 💔➡️💖

I know some of you—friends, family, and followers—have reached out wondering what’s been going on in my life, and I’ve been quiet about it… until now. For over a year and a half, I struggled with knowing deep down that my marriage wasn’t working. But I was terrified to ask for a #divorce. I felt like a failure—like I was giving up on something that you’re ‘never supposed’ to give up on. The fear of being judged by others nearly kept me stuck in a relationship that no longer allowed me to be myself.

But the reality? Asking for that divorce wasn’t me giving up—it was me choosing ME. 💪 And as difficult as it was, I realized that I had done everything in my power to make things work. Walking away wasn’t failure—it was self-love. 🫶🏼

It’s been a journey of letting go of pain, fear, and the old version of myself, while learning to embrace my growth and independence. Through the tears and the tough moments, I’ve found new strength and a community of incredible support along the way. 🌟

To anyone who’s in a relationship where they feel like a shell of themselves: know that you’re not alone, and there is life beyond the negativity. It’s not easy, but it IS possible. And you deserve to be in a space where you can truly be YOU. ❤️

I’d love to hear from any of you who have gone through something similar—how did you overcome the fear and find your happiness? Let’s support each other. Drop a comment below ⬇️ or DM me if you’re struggling and need someone to talk to. 💬 I’m always here, loves. 💕
