As I step into 34, I’ve been reflecting on what 33 truly taught me about motherhood, grief, body image, resilience, and becoming someone new while still honoring who I’ve always been.

Postpartum changed me in ways I’m still unpacking. Living with endometriosis continues to shape how I advocate for myself and my health. Motherhood has softened me and strengthened me at the same time teaching me that loving myself isn’t optional anymore, it’s something I model for my son.

Birthdays feel different now. I feel gratitude more deeply, but I also feel grief more intensely especially missing my grandmother around this time of year. Growing older carries both joy and ache.

With March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I’ll also be sharing more about advocacy, education, and what’s ahead for our 716 endometriosis community. We have more planned for March and April, and I’m so proud of how we continue to stand up, speak out, and support one another.

This episode is about growth. Caregiving. Healing. Gratitude. Grief. And stepping into 34 more grounded, more aware, and more intentional than ever.
