Since I posted about my #survivorversary earlier t

Since I posted about my #survivorversary earlier this month so many people have reached out and asked me what happened. When it happened, I openly shared my story, mostly in writing and on @facebook but I really wish I did more #video because I think it tells a much more real story. I hope this montage helps explain a little more about my crash. My story is super crazy, especially because I was able to go back to work AND have a baby, two things I was never supposed to do. Got questions? Drop them in the comments and I’ll answer, I’m an #openbook . #tbi #traumarecovery #traumaticbraininjury #traumahealing #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #braininjurysurvivor #trauma

So many of you are going to say that I’m ‘brav

So many of you are going to say that I’m ‘brave for posting this’. Maybe…or maybe it’s just that I know that body looks different at any given moment, just like anyone else. I can pose poorly and stick out my stomach with the best of them.📷 **The Perfect Shot**: It's easy to scroll through our feeds and see picture-perfect lives, flawless skin, and picturesque destinations. But remember, those images often don't show the whole truth.🌈 **Reality vs. Perception**: What we see online isn't always what we get in real life. It's important to remember that no one's life is as flawless as their Instagram feed might suggest. We all have bad days, insecurities, and #imperfections.💔 **The Pressure to Conform**: The pressure to present a certain image can be overwhelming. But let's challenge this norm! Let's embrace our real selves—the messy, imperfect, beautiful humans we are.🤝 **Authentic Connections**: Instead of striving for perfection, let's aim for #authenticity. Share the highs and lows, the successes and struggles. Real connections are built on honesty and vulnerability, not perfectly curated images.👁️ **Seeing Beyond the Surface**: The next time you scroll through social media, remember that there's more to every person's story than what's shown in a single photo. Let's support each other, celebrate real moments, and lift each other up.Let's break free from the pressure to be "picture perfect." Your true self is already amazing, #nofilters needed. 💪❤️#RealNotPerfect #AuthenticityMatters #BehindTheFilter #SocialMediaReality

Did you know that your skin is the largest organ i

Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body. My focus on #health doesn’t just apply to fitness and nutrition. I’ve hit my #40s and I’ve never had a single #injectable or #laser because I really don’t want to inject toxins into my face. I’ve been investing a skin care line made from 🌱plants and formulated in #southkorea, which is the #fitgirls skincare mecca of the world. Because it’s a #luxury line I want to get the most out of my products. Here are my simple tips to no waste any product. And I have 20% off code for anyone interested, just drop a 🌱in the comments

We’re so focused on big #milestones, fancy clothes and extravagant #vacations. I love to celebrate those things too. But what if we #sloweddown to enjoy #thelittlethings? Like a walk on a dirt road with your perfect #rescuedog on a sunny ☀️ #summerday. Grateful that I can move my body and #stoptosmelltheroses

I am gonna let you in on a little secret, I’ve been on a quest for the the perfect #skincare routine. In all my experimentation, I’ve found one that’s working wonders.I have never, ever had any #injectables or #lasertreatments and I don’t plan to so finding #naturalskin care was key for me.On the left is when I started and I have (as you can see) a full face of makeup on. My skin is dull, you can see #rosacea and #discoloration peeking through the foundation.On the right, I have ZERO makeup on, my skin tone is evened, my rosacea is calmed, I feel more glowy and my pores look smaller.Want some deets?

#workingmoms are selfish and #staysthomemoms are lazyBe #confident but not *too* confidentStick up for yourself but don’t be bossyBe enough but not *too* muchSound familiar? If you think it’s hard being a Mom you are not alone. You are never going to please everyone and be their #cupoftea but you have to find what works for YOU and your family and embrace it. Let’s #lifteachotherup and be part of someone’s village. Make a commitment to yourself and others ♥️ You got this 💥

I don’t #gatekeep so I’m going to tell you a secret 🤫 you can ‘have it all’ and don’t let anyone tell you different. People tell me to focus. That I couldn’t be a #workingmom, have a #career as a #womanintech and have #sidehustles. They always tell me to #nichedown and do one thing really well. Nah, that’s not me. I would argue that you can do many things really well if you want to. Don’t put yourself in a box. Make room for the things you love and your #tribe will find you. What are your favorite focus areas? ♥️

I didn’t get to see the @taylorswift #ErasTour but even though I’m not a #Swiftie, I had serious #FOMOIt got me thinking, how is she so #iconic at 33? She doesn’t have #fleetingfame like the #popstars and #boybands I grew up with in the #90s . She will go down in history and will probably never end up on washed up and on @dancingwiththestarsHere me out on my theory…she tells a REAL story with every #song . She isn’t making things up, she’s sharing her story through her music and people relate to that. They feel a sense of belonging, part of her community and they want to be a part of the next chapter.She has let people into her life through her #music.What do you think? #taylorswift #taylorswifterastour #swiftlover

I’m gonna let you in on a secret…I’m 40 year

I’m gonna let you in on a secret…I’m 40 years old and I have never had a single #injectables. No #botox or #lipfiller or #lasertreatment or any sort of #facelift and #makeupfree in this video. I did have a #nosejob when I was 24, does that count? 🤣 My skin has been SO MUCH smoother since I started this new luxury #skincare line made only from PLANTS 🌱Want the deets and 20% off?

It’s my #suvivorversary, 7 years ago today, I was hit by a car at 40mph while walking my dog, crossing a crosswalk, it was broad daylight on a sunny day so weather was not a factor. The driver was distracted and not looking at the road.I had a brain surgery and shattered my pelvis. I have a traumatic brain injury, #tbi which is something that I navigate everyday.#distracteddriving is a massive issue and isn’t getting any better. I was part of the team that passed the hands-free law in Massachusetts so you can no longer hold your phone while you drive and it has not helped decrease distracted driving by any large amount.I’m very lucky that I’ve gotten to go back to my life before crash but so many people aren’t as lucky.So what can you do? #justdrive. Put your phone down, stop doing your make up, picking up your kids fallen snack. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, it could save a life. #trauma #braininjury

What if I told you that I started using these programs and #supplements 9 years ago and I have never looked back? As someone who was a serial #yoyodieter and #diettrend addict, this was a game changer.This was my first BIG physical #transformation, the first time I completed a program. I’m proud of the results but I’m most proud I didn’t give up.Me not giving up on this 3 week program, has led to me finding not only my #healthiest self, but also my #bestself for almost a decade.Don’t get me wrong, I know that this physical transformation is impressive. I also know that being healthy literally saved my life {almost} 7 years ago and that to me is WAY more impressive 😍Are you ready to make a change? No #dietpills or #crashdiets, just a focus on #health and a #mindset shift .Drop a ‘💯’ below and let’s chat. #tbt

#unpopularopinion : The best purchases I have ever

#unpopularopinion : The best purchases I have ever made are those that other people tried and recommended to me. That goes for product, vacations, experiences…I always have the best success when I hear from customers directly, anyone else? What’s been one of your best purchases and was it recommended to you? #glowingskin #flawlessskin #healthyskin #skingoals #skincaretip

What if I told you that other people’s opinions are none of your business? #judgementfreezone #judgementalpeopleHad an amazing outdoor #yoga practice this morning which started with the instructor reminding us to ‘let go of your egos and do what’s best for your bodies.’ #egodeathI remember always feeling like I had to level up, people would think was lazy or out of shape if I didn’t do the hardest version of the exercise. First of all, that’s how people get hurt and second of all, it’s simply untrue.Keep moving towards your goals, you know your body best and do what works for you.What’s been your favorite workout lately, in or out of the gym? #yogi #wannabeyogi #getoutside
