Yesterday was about sitting in the heavy silence of a new chapter. Today? Today was about stepping right back into my unmasked joy, shedding the fear of being “too weird,” and reclaiming my energy!
On my walk today, I went completely rogue singing Symphony out loud without music playing, dancing down the street, and having a crew of excavation workers cheer me on! Then, when I got to my friend’s house to go out, I saw a Tupac shirt in her suitcase. Tupac is my absolute FAVORITE, so without missing a beat, she geared me up with his tee over my dress and a gold chain so I could be my most authentic self. Next thing you know, I’m on stage dancing in full vibes! 🎤🔥
For so long, we internalize old messages that tell us to shrink or worry about what people think. But true healing happens when you realize that weirdness is just uninhibited authenticity coming home. From sober dancing and karaoke with my old next-door neighbor (back in town after years!) to a sweet lunch yesterday reconnection with a childhood friend, today was a masterclass in letting love and community hold you through life’s big shifts all before heading home to my four beautiful children 🤍

Today’s unmasking is going completely off-script. What I was going to post is no longer, because I am sitting in a brand new feeling I have never experienced in my life leaving my stomach unchurned, heavy, and leaving me at a complete loss for words.
Tonight is my very first night ever being completely alone away from my children. My oldest is almost 15, and as I sit here booking our surprise getaway for his birthday, I turned around to pure silence.
My ex-husband and I officially finalized our divorce on the 12th after walking quietly through a 3-year living separation. He is now officially out of the home, making last night my first night navigating this empty space. I feel like I want to throw up, hitting 15 different feelings at once grief, relief, nostalgia, shock, and quiet. I thought I had processed this over the last 3 years, but now that the reality is sitting in the room, it feels like none of that preparation matters.
Nobody talks about the actual aftermath of this first custody night. Whether it’s divorce, job loss, or death, this physical emotional overload is REAL, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
