What's Meant to Be, Will Be.

As I sit here staring deeply, lovingly into my baby's beautiful grey eyes, I can’t help but remember moments of hurt and pain years ago. It’s crazy how deep heartfelt feelings of gratitude have a way of reminding you just how far you’ve come. I remember dreaming of these moments. Wondering when I’d meet "my person", fantasizing when I’d be pregnant, imagining what having a moving baby within my belly would feel like and then picturing seeing their face for the very first tim

The Fragile Days After Birth

The first few hours and days were... a nocturnal blur. Giving birth was such a profound, emotional event. I hadn’t slept in what felt like days.. but if I’m being honest, it had been months of rough "sleep". Being pregnant those last weeks were extra rough. Getting up every few hours to inch my way to the bathroom with an extra sore lower back and awful pelvic pains were so hard. After the joyous moments of birth, I laid there half asleep in a strange daze of “wow, I’m a mom

My Birth Story

“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”- Elizabeth Stone May 18, 2022 9:30am I woke up and today felt different. I knew today was a start of something new. Since week 20 I had been sitting on my yoga ball and as I sat there that morning eating my oatmeal at the kitchen table, I felt him inch his was closer down my pelvis... today's the day. I felt it.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Losing someone you love impacts you in ways you’ll never fully understand. It’s painful, confusing and brings up emotions and old buried memories you thought you’d forgotten. Writing has always been a passion and it’s also been therapeutic for me, especially now. During this last month of losing my brother I kept busy... too busy. Planning a funeral and dealing with things no one should ever have to deal with meanwhile trying my best to support family emotionally took a toll

5 Things To Consider Before Pregnancy

It's Sunday, May 15 and this is...the "final countdown!" I'm been singing that silly song like crazy this past week lol. I picture myself wearing a white headband across my forehead struggling to breathe as I reach the top steps lol just like Sylvester Stallone. That's kinda what pregnancy feels like, especially in this final, 9th month. Like, holy crap I've made it... I'm A L M O S T T H E R E!!! 😅 Gosh does time fly! I can't believe my little guy will be here so soon!!

10 Things You Should Never Say To A Pregnant Woman

I'm not done with this pregnancy rodeo 🐎 that's for sure, but the clock is tickin' and I'm getting close! Just 10-12 more weeks before my bundle arrives and I thought I'd share my thoughts on some "lovely things" I've personally heard and experienced and some I've learned from other mama friends. I mostly wanted to share this because once upon a time I too was ignorant, not informed and educated and well, let's just say now, now I know better! Before I begin, let me start of

3 Things You Need To Stop Doing

Sure, there are lots of things we know we should "stop doing" like drinking soda 🥤 and scarfing down junk-food 🍟, spending the entire weekend in front of the tv 📺 or mindlessly scrolling and comparing ourselves to others on social media 📲. And then there are other not so lovely habits that we may not consider are truly and deeply affecting us just as much, if not more... Here are 3 things you need to stop doing today so you can have a way better tomorrow! 1) Ignoring Your

Dear Broken-Hearted Girl

I know your pain. ❤️‍🩹⁣ I know your sadness. I know how sleep feels better than waking up to the realization that the one you love is not there. ⁣😔 I see how you hide behind concealer, mascara, lipstick💄and blush. I see how you fake a smile and say “I’m great” when your insides ache constantly from a gaping empty wound. ⁣🥺 ⁣ I know how bad it hurts to live in a world 🌎 that continues day in and day out and somehow all you feel is trapped in moments of a happy past that y

Health is the most precious thing we have in life and sadly many of us take it for granted. 🥺⁣ ⁣ It’s only when we “lose it” or get really sick that we start thinking of ways to “get it back” or “improve it” but by then it’s harder and sometimes irreversible. 😣⁣ ⁣ In studying nutrition, health and wellness at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition, I’ve learned that the body is the most magnificent magical “machine” ever. It truly is!! 🙌🏻☀️⁣ ⁣ We are capable of healing ou

Rest, it can wait.

My mantra today: Rest, it can wait. What is “IT”? Well, the endless list of to-do’s and to not want to do’s. We all have them, right? Some we know we need to get done. Some we want to get done. But what about how you feel? Are you exhausted? Tired? Sleepy? Stressed? Achy? Overwhelmed or just low energy? 😮‍💨 I think being pregnant has forced me to focus more than ever on what feels good in the present moment without dwelling on what comes next. For example, I woke up at 3a

What are you saying NO to this year?

Before I lay it all out there... I'd like to preface this by saying that I've learned so much this past year about friends, family, my husband, work and mostly, about myself. I've learned more than ever what feels good, and more importantly - what doesn't. 🙅🏻‍♀️ So, what does this emotional "purge" include? Basically anything and everything that no longer serves me. The list I have is pretty decent in my journal, 📝but today I'll provide my top 3 which I know will help remi

Struggle with C O N S I S T E N C Y?

You’re not alone! I think we all struggle with it and it S U C K S!!! I know. Being consistent is something every single client I’ve ever worked with has struggled with and it’s super common. We all want to do the things we know are good for us but when it comes down to “making it happen” we pause … waste time…. do something else to fill the time… and we procrastinate till we have 5 mins left! How do I know?? Well, I’m human. So what do I recommend? There are a number of

33 Life Tips For Every Woman

Yesterday was my birthday. I woke up at 5am and found Vito watching TV on the couch. Poor guy was suffering from jetlag too. We just got back from Italy and here we were, wide awake in our pitch black living room standing in wrinkled pjs. He ran towards me and said "Happy Birthday!! I love you so much!" and kissed me all over. Next, he guided me back to bed where he pulled out a crumpled letter from his nightstand drawer. It's been a few years since he wrote me a letter so I

No More Mr. Maybe!

Not getting what or who we want sucks, right? Whether it's a raise, a role, a partner, or hitting "that" goal, it hurts and we feel low about it. I know.. I've been there. Earlier today this message popped up in my dms: "Violet, why the hell isn't this working? I've done too much to make this relationship work and now he's pulling back. What am I doing wrong? I'm fed up. Help?" My heart sunk a bit. I felt for her, and before I started drafting some empowering message like I

3 Words to Describe How You Want to Feel in 2022

I can't believe we are in our LAST MONTH of the year! It's been a minute... or a long minute since I've talked to you! Yes Y O U.. my beautiful reader. And although parts of me wish to apologize, I won't. I can't. Want to know why? Because life has been happening... Through the highs and lows I've come to recognize that forcing is not flowing and I want to FLOW. I want to GLOW. I am learning and growing and life isn't linear at all. It's not perfect.

October Challenge: for a happy, clear mind

A new month has arrived... and just like that we have only 92 days till a brand new year!! So, how has this year been for you? Any better than the last? If you ask me, it's been a mix of all the feelings: happy, sad, worried, elated and other times frustrated, mixed in with pure joy and freedom. It's been a wild, crazy year of transformation... and I know, it still isn't over. If September wasn't memorable, fun or happy, then you know what - leave it where it belongs: in the

4 Reasons To Start Drinking Tea

For as long as I can remember I've loved tea. And, from the very beginning, I knew what a huge difference it made when I drank tea.. versus when I drank coffee. ☕️ I only started drinking coffee in my first job after college simply because it was a "social event". That's right, a social event, hah! You'd see everyone come into the office first thing in the morning and after putting their things down in their cubicles or office, and they'd swarm to our tiny shared kitchen to

The Blind, The Boy & The Bagel

Bright morning light pours in our bedroom through the sunroof. Him: Yawns, and sits up a bit. I'm hungry, gonna get a bagel. Want one? Me: Hmm.. maybe.
