About Me

I am a 42 year old business owner, wife and mother of a 6 year old son and four fur babies living at the Jersey Shore. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Monmouth University with a BA in Psychology in 2012 then started my Master’s Degree in Psychological Counseling however, life got in the way and that was put on pause.

Growing up I struggled with self-esteem and an eating disorder. I had a history of dating the wrong guys, which only fed into my self-esteem issues. From the outside, it seemed I had the perfect life, even my closest friends had no idea of the turmoil inside me. I yearned for close friendships, but feared being vulnerable. Years of therapy and self-reflection eventually led to self-acceptance.

I starting dating my husband in 2012 and he was and is the only person I have ever let myself be truly vulnerable with. We were 100% honest with each other about who we were, who we currently are, and who we want to become. And while I let my guard down with him, I still have not fully let my guard down in my friendships, and I recently started to ask myself why?

Which brings me to why I created this blog. It’s time to let my guard down, to be vulnerable and authentic, to share my experiences, offer insight and hopefully inspire others. So many of us go through similar experiences and struggles, yet we often do not discuss them openly and honestly.

My goal for this blog is to be a place to discuss women’s issues, from sexuality & sexual health, to the various societal pressures placed on women, domestic violence, relationships, eating disorders, the importance of self care and so much more. My hope is to leave no topic untouched and to create open and honest dialogues. I hope you enjoy it and feel connected!
