If you looked at our life now, you’d see kids, schedules, work, laundry, and approximately nine million things happening at once. But there was actually a very peaceful time when it was just the two of us.

Welcome to Chaos of the Week—the part of the show where I tell you about something that happened in my real life that I genuinely could not make up. Kids, marriage, work, mom fails, forgotten appointments, questionable decisions…nothing is off limits.

Because sometimes you just have to laugh at the chaos and give yourself a little grace.

Before I get too far into sharing the stories, the chaos, and everything in between, I figured you should probably meet the people I talk about the most!

In this episode, I’m here introducing you to my husband and my kids-their personalities, the things that make each of them completely unique, and a little bit about what life looks like in our family.

They’re all VERY different, they all bring their own special kind of chaos, and they’re the people behind so many of the stories that you’ll hear about on this podcast.

So grab your coffee, hop in your car, fold some laundry-or whatever you’re doing-and come meet my crew. 🤎

I had a plan for this episode. I sat down and recorded 54 minutes telling the birth story of my first child—only to discover that I NEVER TURNED MY MICROPHONE ON. 😂

So…you’re not getting that episode today.

Instead, this is a quick 16-minute dose of Grace in the Chaos. I’m sharing my very humbling podcast fail, why sometimes you just have to laugh and move on, and a story from one of those completely normal, completely chaotic mornings trying to get my kids out the door for school.

No perfectly planned topic. No polished lesson. Just real life, motherhood, a microphone mishap, and the kind of morning that makes you wonder how anyone gets anywhere on time.

Because sometimes the chaos IS the episode. 🤍

In the first episode of Grace in the Chaos, I’m taking you back to where a huge part of my story began—my nursing career. I’m sharing how I found my way into nursing, what my years working in the hospital taught me, and the twists, turns, and life experiences that eventually led me to make a big career change into medical aesthetics.

It wasn’t necessarily the path I pictured when I started, but that’s kind of the point. Sometimes the biggest changes happen when life pushes us in a direction we never expected.

This episode is a little about nursing, a little about starting over, and a lot about learning to find the courage—and the grace—to embrace a new chapter.

Welcome to Grace in the Chaos! In this short introduction, I’m sharing a little about who I am, why I finally decided to start this podcast, and what you can expect along the way.

We’ll talk about nursing, motherhood, raising kids, navigating the unexpected, small-town life, career changes, and all the messy, funny, hard, and beautiful moments in between.

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about sharing real stories, learning from each other, laughing when we can, and finding a little grace in the chaos.
