You know that there has to be a better way to make all of this work.
{One that doesn’t involve trying to fit the mold of what someone else thinks your life ‘should’ look like, that isn’t a one-size-fits-most solution, and isn’t going to leave you feeling like you’re running on fumes}
Having someone sit down with you, sort through the chaos, and actually help you figure out what you need for your life, your business, and the season you’re in would be pretty sweet!
Someone who can help you make sense of the mess, find what’s actually worth your time and energy, and create a solution that works for you.
Without you needing to become a completely different person to make it work.
If so … then you are in just the right place, darlin’! That’s where I come in.
Chaos Calming Strategist extraordinare, at your service.
I’m a wife, mom, business owner … and a total nerd. I started out teaching myself coding languages in between honors and A.P. classes in high school.
I grew up watching my parents work hard for jobs which didn’t light them up, only to lose my father before he even hit retirement age. It was at that moment, I knew I wanted a different life.
I graduated with an associates degree in website management, worked closely with a local marketing agency, and gained a whole lot of experience. And that was my passion, until my son was born.
In the span of one echocardiogram I became a mom to a medically complex little boy. My world changed, and my business has followed suit.
Now, I help moms of medically complex kids figure out how to make life and business work together … creating custom strategies, systems, and solutions for the unique season they’re in … so they can build something of their own without adding even more chaos to the mix.
Let’s be real for a second … no one picks medical mom life. It picks you. Along the way you hear things like “I could never” or “I don’t know how you do it” … but the truth you… you never had a choice.
For my family … we were thrown into the deep end of it … in the span of one doctors appointment … one echo.
My son was born with HLHS. We didn’t know it at the time though … 2 anatomy scans and it was missed.
A doctor where he was born heard a heart murmur. Told us to check with our pediatrician. So we did.
At one week old we went into a pediatric cardiologist office for an echo to check a heart murmur…
We left with an ambulance ride to our local hospital to stabilize him, and then a flight to the next largest town an hour and a half drive away …
What we didn’t know at the time … was that he would be there almost continuously until he was 5 months old.
Nothing prepares you for having a child in the hospital. Especially when it’s your newborn. All you want to do is hold them, love them, and hear them cry. Heck … even changing a diaper is on that list.
We were there for 5 months just about and in that time span:
You learn to make the most of being in the hospital. Being present, taking breaks when you need to, being there for rounds, asking questions, and learning.
So much learning and wrapping your brain around things you never envisioned for your child.
But you also find yourself grateful for the moments like the photo of me holding him in his hospital room … if you’re a medical parent you understand
And you’ll understand how fragile and special a moment that i’ll never forget … he was intubated, had an arterial line, a central line, his pacer wires, drain tubes, and a few more IVs.
With everything he’s been through, from the HLHS, to the strokes and cerebral palsy, and his other more minor diagnosis (like hip dysplasia)…. we’re taking it one day at a time.
One therapy session at a time. The future is unknown for him. But we take it one day at a time, because this is just a chapter, not the whole story. We don’t know how it will play out.
