Just a happy lil mama and her babies. Took me awhile to get here, but I did it. 💕

November has been full and so very sweet.

We’ve hosted Friendsgiving (10/10!), spent lots of time outside, cuddled kittens, nourished ourselves, went on a lantern walk for Martinmas with friends, visited a different Orthodox church, enjoyed slow sleepy mornings, finished my new grain-free Whole Healthy Holiday cookbook, and kicked off the new Dream Maker cohort (welcome, Dream Team!).

Some days are hard, and that’s okay. We pick ourselves back up and carry on. Life isn’t supposed to be easy, but it should be full of joy and meaning. Onward we go!

It’s a season of kittens and knitting and church and tea and puzzles at our new old farmhouse table (FB marketplace find of the century!) and nature adventures and my oldest turning 13.

It’s all very sweet and wholesome.

We’re making new friends, loving our new church, and settling into the colder, darker months.

There is so much to be grateful for.

Dream Maker Mastermind begins next week. These women and families are brave. It takes courage to change for the better. We’ll spend a year building their digital businesses and being in community together.

My oldest daughter turned 13. It’s remarkable, really. I’ve always rejected the notion that “time flies by” in favor of living each day meaningfully and respecting the passing of time for what it is. I have a feeling that raising teens is going to be a delight. No worries here.

We got two new kittens, Lotta and Primrose, to be outdoor mousers. It’s been a very fun experience for the girls. We intend to spay one and let the other have 1-2 rounds of kittens. They will live outside and in the garage, away from our indoor cat.

I’ve shied away from community for quite some time to heal and clarify my values. These days, the community we’re building is what’s healing. My girls and I are learning what meaningful, healthy relationships look like. I’m very grateful.

We’re hosting a big Friendsgiving party next week, and the scurry of excitement in our home is very fun. Sending so much love as we head into the holiday season. Xo

PS: We grew that pumpkin! It still hasn’t turned orange yet, but I’m calling it a win. 🎃

It wasn’t quite the summer of fun I had planned, but life carries on. Onward I go with my four little ducklings following my lead. We are brave and soft of heart and keeping our chins up. Goodbye, summer. 🍂

This summer’s been equal parts grit, grace, and gratitude.

But also long, warm, slow days with popsicles and bike rides and library books stacked too high.

Bread dough under my fingernails, pebble love notes on the porch, cleaning the van with the children, and riding bikes up hills that feel too steep until they’re not.

Here’s a little life lately:

1. 7 years of summer snuggles with these two
2. Homemade popsicles on repeat
3. Honestly struggling to keep up with how fast the big girls read
4. Einkorn sourdough for sun bread on the solstice
5. Finally starting our holistic ortho journey
6. Big 4th of July parade in our tiny town 🇺🇸
7. Just really super grateful for the relationships I’ve built with my girls
8. We got family mountain bikes and have been having sooo much fun adventuring
9. Loving on the Sprinter (we’ve had it 5 years now!) 🚐
10. Banana ice cream (just blended frozen bananas in the Vitamix)

Onward I go, giving this human experience all I’ve got. Leading with integrity and a wide open heart. It’s vulnerable as heck, but I’m here for it. Xo

End of winter, early spring vibes. Lots of coziness, good food and family time. Also, the twins turned 7! Can you even believe it?

I sense a deeper transformation happening inside myself—something significant—but it hasn’t revealed itself yet. For now, I observe and sit with who I am today. That’s all we can do anyway, really. Existing in the present…taking life one day at a time…not getting too far ahead…has been my daily practice for sometime now.

My new Dream Maker Mastermind cohort begins soon. This is our first full year group. I honestly couldn’t feel more ready and eager to get started. These women are brave. Huge transformations ahead, and I’m honored to walk alongside them. This is very much my dream work I’m doing.

And then, I’m about to turn 37 in a few weeks. I’m in my late 30s now, I suppose. I’m fine with it. Nothing to resist or worry about. In fact, I actually enjoy the process of growing in wisdom. Moving towards my matriarch era. The wrinkles and sagging neck just come with the territory. 😌

1. Your girl—almost 37. I wore this sweatshirt (from my ex-husbands closet) in my stories the other day and apparently pale yellow is my ✨color✨. It’s making me think I need to do one of those color analysis sessions.

2. Grain-free lemon bars and pumpkin pie bites. It’s time to finally create the grain-free treat cookbook I’ve been thinking about making for years. 🍪🍰

3. ♥️ My everything ♥️

4. SO MANY LOST TEETH. The tooth fairy is tiiiirrrrred. 🧚

5. Grain-free chicken pot pie.

6. Kitty cuddles during the homeschool day. The kids are thriving with their classes this year. We’re planning to rinse and repeat for next year. It’s a mix of independent teachers and Outschool classes, mostly Waldorf.

7. Our eggs this year are gorgeous. It’s a mix of easter eggers, olive eggers, black copper marans, and some regular brown egg layers. May we all have rainbow eggs in pretty bowls on our countertops.

8. Fairy art in Art Club with .

9. Classic PNW meal. I got Qs in my DMs about where I get my wild salmon. Costco! It’s previously frozen, but you’ll find it with the fresh seafood.

My caption is too long, so that’s all for now. Xo!

Swipe through to see peeks into our family winter vacay—snowy fun, slow mornings, and the kind of family time I used to dream about.

But behind these moments is something wayyyy deeper.

Years ago, I never could have imagined this life. After my twins were born, my entire life unraveled, and I ended my marriage as a stay at home mom of 4 young kids (holy moly, def not for the weak).

At the time, I didn’t know what the future would hold—I just knew I needed something more for all of us. Something that would give me stability and freedom at the same time.

I wanted to be present for my kids, to create a life that felt peaceful, to build something that could sustain us no matter what came next.

And somehow, through sharing what I knew, that’s exactly what happened.

Now, my business is more than just a source of income—it’s a safety net and a foundation. It allows me to build a future that isn’t dependent on anyone else’s job security or life circumstances staying the same forever.

For us, that means knowing we’re okay if things change—whether that’s a layoff, an unexpected life shift, or just the need to slow down and heal (🥹).

It also means more than just security. It means travel, family time, supporting our health, and investing in the stuff that makes life worth living.

I know so many women feel this way. You don’t have to want to be a full-time entrepreneur to want more stability, flexibility, or financial peace of mind.

That’s why I’m hosting Digital Business Made Easy this Saturday—a free, 90-minute masterclass where I’ll show you exactly how digital business works, why it’s different in 2025, and how you can start—even if you don’t know where to begin.

Hi friend, I realized I’ve never really told you how this all started…

In 2014, after my second baby was born, my health completely unraveled. Lyme disease and autoimmune issues left me exhausted, unwell, and searching for answers.

I spent years deep in research, experimenting, and rebuilding my body from the inside out. And through that journey, I found something unexpected: a calling to share what I was learning.

At first, I was just a mom at home, navigating my own healing and raising my kids. But something inside me kept whispering—share this. Maybe someone else needed it, too.

That little whisper turned into Broth Academy®—a simple idea that changed everything.

What started as me teaching women how to heal their families through food became something much bigger. It became a path back to myself.

During this time, my business grew in ways I never expected. And while it was incredible, it also challenged me.

I had to learn who I was outside of being a mom, a wife, a business owner. I had to figure out what I wanted—not just for my health, but for my life.

Now, I teach other women how to create their own freedom—how to take what’s already inside them and build something real, something sustainable, something that gives them choices.

And if you’ve ever felt that nudge—that whisper telling you there’s something more for you, but you’re not sure what it looks like or where to start—I want to invite you to my free live masterclass, Digital Business Made Easy, happening on February 15.

I’ll walk you through exactly how to build something online in a way that fits your life—not the bossbabe way, not the hustle-until-you-burn-out way, but in a way that actually makes sense for YOU.

Wishing you a cozy day. As cozy as the smell of fresh baked cinnamon raisin bread and warm snuggles in a fluffy bed with freshly washed sheets. That’s what we’ll be doing today. 🤍

2025 vibe: EXCEPTIONAL LIFE. Turns out the only way to the other side is through. Through the pain, the stories we tell ourselves, the shadows we avoid because they seem too scary. It’s a vulnerable journey with incredible potential.

Perhaps all we can ever do is take life one day at a time. But it especially feels that way right now. Slow and steady.

1. Family morning cuddles. 10/10 my favorite part of life right now.

2. Christmas Eve dinner. I keep thinking about the phrase “build a longer table.” That seems like the name of the game from here on. Healing healing healing.

3. The children planned a 5-course Christmas dinner and it was SO FUN. This year was one for the books.

4. Family obsession: fruit salad. We get most of our organic fruit at Costco. Just wash, chop, and sprinkle with a little lemon juice. Don’t sleep on the honeydew. Wildcard MVP! 🍈

5. ✨Family✨

6. Papa took the big kids to visit grandpa. So many curiosities! Like his moldy cheese (very intentional). 🙃

7. Stumbled upon these two playing checkers and it blew my mind that they know how to play so well after a few big sister lessons.

8. Weekend scenes

9. Picking Papa up from the ferry for the first time in years. An old familiar feeling, but with a new storyline.

10. Baking bread for our winter travels. We’ve been making einkorn sourdough for 7 or 8 years now. I don’t eat it, but everyone else does and feels great. This day we made a cinnamon raisin boule and a regular one too. Specifically for jam and butter sandwiches to eat in the ferry line. A beloved tradition!

Happy winter, my friends. Onward we go! ❄️
