Hi, I’m Kaitlyn, and welcome to my blog. This space was created because this past year changed everything. I became a single mama to two babies under three, owning her own business just trying to stay afloat. Somewhere between working through cripling anxiety, trauma responses, taking photos, rebuilding my strength through fitness, learning self-care and self-worth, following Jesus, and allowing myself to stay spicy, I realized I needed a place to be honest about it all.

This blog was created to hold the pieces of my life as they are right now. The healing. The growth. The exhaustion. The joy. The grief that can sit right next to gratitude. It is also a place for all of my what ifs. The thoughts I play out in my head. The questions I am still asking. It might be a little chaotic at times, but it will be honest, creative, and a whole lot of fun.

Writing the first post came with tears and a tenderness that only someone walking this path would understand. But it also came with hope. Hope that by sharing my story and my thoughts out loud, I can create a sense of community and help someone else feel a little less alone.

I am doing this for the women who are quietly doing hard things. For single moms. For business owners. For creative artists and photographers. For the beautiful humans who have struggled to love their bodies for all they have carried them through. I am also doing this for me, to think things through, and to grow through my days. To become a better individual, a better artist, and most of all a better mama.

While today brings me great joy, it also carries a sadness that words cannot fully explain. My hope is that this blog becomes a space where pain is acknowledged, growth is celebrated, and no one feels like they have to hold it all alone.

Thank you for being here. You are worthy of everything good this life has to offer.

Every day there will be something new. A blog. A thought. A poem. Something honest. Something real.

We got this. 🤍
