I’ll be honest—when I first heard the word ‘ostomy,’ I didn’t want it. The thought of living with an ostomy bag felt like the end of everything I knew about myself, my body, and my life. I was overwhelmed with fear, shame, and grief. I thought, ‘Maybe it’s better to let go than live like this.’ The stigma, the uncertainty, and the unknown were suffocating. But then something shifted. I realized that choosing an ostomy wasn’t about giving up—it was about fighting for my life. It wasn’t the end of who I was; it was the beginning of a new version of me. A version that could adapt, find joy, and thrive despite the challenges. I won’t sugarcoat it—there are still hard days. Days when I feel frustrated or miss how things used to be. But those days are outweighed by the moments I’ve been given to truly live: the laughs with loved ones, the milestones I’ve reached, and the strength I never knew I had. To anyone struggling with this decision or feeling like you’d rather choose death: I see you. I understand how heavy it feels. But life with an ostomy is still life. It’s a chance to find beauty, connection, and purpose in ways you might not expect. You are more than your fear, and you are never alone. If I could go back and tell myself one thing, it would be this: Choosing an ostomy isn’t giving up—it’s choosing hope. And hope is worth it. 💛 #OstomyLife #ChooseHope #OstomyWarrior #SecondChances #ThrivingWithOstomy #LifeAfterSurgery #ResilientAndStrong #StrengthInScars #YouAreNotAlone #ChronicIllnessWarrior #SpoonieLife #InvisibleIllness #ChronicPain #ChronicIllnessSupport #IBDWarrior #LifeWithChronicIllness #DisabilityAwareness #SpoonieStrong #ChronicFatigue #AutoimmuneDisease #LivingWithChronicIllness #MentalHealthAndChronicIllness #HealingJourney #ChronicIllnessCommunity #ThrivingNotSurviving #HealthJourney #AdvocateForAwareness #ChronicPainWarrior #LifeBeyondIllness #OstomyLife #OstomyAwareness #LivingWithAnOstomy #OstomySupport #InvisibleIllness #IBDWarrior #OstomyCommunity #LifeWithAnOstomy #OstomyBag #OstomyStrong #ChronicIllnessWarrior #StrengthInScars #ThrivingWithOstomy #BagLife #ColostomyLife #IleostomyJourney #StomaLife #OstomyAdvocate #UnstoppableWithAnOstomy

Buying gifts doesn’t make them a good parent—showing up does. The narcissist thinks a PS5, a Disney trip, or a few fun weekends will erase their absence, but parenting isn’t about buying love—it’s about being there when it counts. Judges see through Disneyland parenting when you present the right evidence and strategy. If you’re battling a toxic ex in custody court, I can help you build a case that exposes the truth. ⚖️🔥 #CustodyBattle #CoParentingWithANarcissist #FamilyCourt #DivorceStrategy #WinningInCourt #ExposeTheNarcissist #ToxicCoParenting #HighConflictDivorce #ParentalRights #KnowYourRights #LegalStrategy #CustodyMatters #DivorceSupport #DivorceWarrior #FamilyLaw #ParentingAfterDivorce #ToxicEx #StayStrategic #ProtectYourKids #BreakTheCycle #ThrivingNotSurviving

If you’re going to take down a narcissist, you can’t just sit back and wait. No phone calls and chill. No hoping they’ll play fair. You have to be ten steps ahead—always. 🔥 If discovery is due on the 20th and they don’t deliver? You better be filing a motion on the 22nd. No hesitation. No mercy. Your client needs to know from day one that this isn’t a game—it’s strategy. The narcissist thrives on delays, manipulation, and loopholes. The only way to win? Apply pressure relentlessly. #DivorcingANarcissist #CustodyBattle #HighConflictDivorce #NarcissistEx #FamilyCourt #DivorceStrategy #LegalTactics #ExposeTheNarcissist #NarcissisticAbuse #FamilyLaw #WinningInCourt #CustodyMatters #KnowYourRights #DivorceWarrior #LegalBattle #DivorceCoach #StayStrategic #NarcissistSurvivor #ThrivingNotSurviving #ProtectYourKids

I know my kids are watching. I want them to know it’s okay to choose themselves AND that doesn’t mean they’re being selfish it means they’re setting the tone. #thrivingnotsurviving #MomsofTikTok #motherhood #momlife #momtok #quotesoftheday #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes

Living with a chronic illness isn’t easy, but my mindset makes all the difference. 💪 Some days are tough, but I choose to focus on my strength and resilience. ✨ Remember: you’re stronger than your struggles. 💜 #ChronicIllnessWarrior #MindsetMatters #InvisibleIllness #ThrivingNotJustSurviving #SpoonieLife #OneDayAtATime #ChronicIllnessWarrior #InvisibleIllness #SpoonieLife #ThrivingNotSurviving #MindsetMatters #HealingJourney #ChronicPainWarrior #SelfLoveJourney #ResilientAndStrong #ChronicIllnessSupport #StrengthInStruggles #LivingWithPurpose #HealthJourney #EmpoweredAndStrong #OneDayAtATime #UnbreakableSpirit #AdvocateForAwareness #BodyPositivity #MentalStrength #AdaptAndThrive #OstomyLife #OstomyAwareness #OstomyBag #LivingWithAnOstomy #OstomyStrong #OstomyWarrior #LifeWithAnOstomy #OstomyPride #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #OstomySupport #IBDWarrior #OstomyCommunity #ThrivingWithOstomy #BagLife #OstomyJourney #ResilientAndProud #BodyPositivity #StrengthInScars #UnstoppableWithAnOstomy

Day 17: 100 Sit-Ups 💪 This challenge pushed me way out of my comfort zone. Knowing I wouldn’t be perfect—or even able to do a sit-up on my own—was a hard pill to swallow. Before my surgeries, this would’ve been no problem, but now, it’s a different story. I managed five sit-ups with the help of my amazing family cheering me on, but even that left me exhausted. It’s humbling and uncomfortable to face how much my body has changed, but I’m learning that progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, trying, and celebrating even the smallest victories. If you’re on a journey to rebuild, you’re not alone. How do you push past self-doubt to keep going? #PetiteNewYearChallenge #CoreStrength #ChronicIllnessLife #PostSurgeryRecovery #ProgressNotPerfection #SmallVictories #RebuildingStrength #OstomyLife #OstomyAwareness #OstomyWarrior #LivingWithAnOstomy #OstomySupport #InvisibleIllness #IBDWarrior #OstomyCommunity #LifeWithAnOstomy #OstomyBag #OstomyStrong #ChronicIllnessWarrior #StrengthInScars #ThrivingWithOstomy #BagLife #ColostomyLife #IleostomyJourney #StomaLife #OstomyAdvocate #UnstoppableWithAnOstomy #ChronicIllnessWarrior #SpoonieLife #InvisibleIllness #ChronicPain #ChronicIllnessSupport #IBDWarrior #LifeWithChronicIllness #DisabilityAwareness #SpoonieStrong #ChronicFatigue #AutoimmuneDisease #LivingWithChronicIllness #MentalHealthAndChronicIllness #HealingJourney #ChronicIllnessCommunity #ThrivingNotSurviving #HealthJourney #AdvocateForAwareness #ChronicPainWarrior #LifeBeyondIllness

In this series, I’m sharing my journey of building confidence while living with an ostomy bag, feeding tube, and scars. These medical devices are often misunderstood, but for me, they are powerful symbols of survival and resilience. Over the next 12 posts, I’ll dive into how I’ve learned to embrace my body’s changes and wear my story with pride. From shifting my mindset and practicing self-love to celebrating small wins and stepping outside my comfort zone, I’ll show you how confidence isn’t about perfection—it’s about owning who you are, scars, devices, and all. Join me as I share how I’ve grown stronger through my experiences, and how you can too, no matter the challenges you face. This journey is about being unapologetically yourself, embracing the things that make you unique, and letting your confidence shine through. It’s not always easy, but every step is worth it. I hope my story resonates with you and reminds you that your strength comes from within. #OstomyLife #ConfidenceJourney #MedicalDevices #StrongerThanEver #ScarsTellStories #LivingWithAnOstomy #SpoonieStrength #SelfLove #ResilientAndProud #ChronicIllnessWarrior #EmpoweredLiving #SpoonieLife #InvisibleIllness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #LifeWithChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #HealingJourney #MentalHealthAndChronicIllness #ThrivingNotSurviving #ChronicIllnessSupport #DisabilityAwareness #SpoonieStrong #IBDWarrior #ChronicPainWarrior #HealthAdvocate #ChronicCondition #LifeBeyondIllness #OstomyAwareness #OstomyWarrior #LivingWithAnOstomy #OstomyStrong #StomaLife #OstomyCommunity #BagLife #IBDWarrior #ColostomyLife #IleostomyJourney #InvisibleDisabilities #OstomySupport #ThrivingWithOstomy #StrengthInScars #LifeWithAnOstomy #UnstoppableWithAnOstomy #StomaWarrior #OstomyAdvocate #ChronicallyFabulous #FeedingTubeLife #TubeFeedingJourney #FeedingTubeWarrior #LivingWithAFeedingTube #TubeFeedingStrong #FeedingTubeAdvocate #ChronicIllnessAndFeedingTube #FeedingTubeCommunity #TubeFeedingAwareness #InvisibleIllnessSupport #FeedingTubeJourney #TubeFeedingAndProud #FeedingTubeStrong #HealthWarrior #FeedingTubeEmpowerment #LivingWithFeedingTube #SpoonieStrength #ChronicIllnessWarrior #sbs #shortbowelsyndrome #cipo #tpn

I am beyond excited to share something that’s been on my heart for so long—SuperMom’s Guide to Guilt-Free Self-Care! This journal was created with so much love and intention for all the busy, amazing moms out there who constantly put themselves last. As a mom, I know firsthand how hard it is to prioritize yourself without feeling that nagging guilt. The endless to-do lists, the constant demands, and the pressure to be everything for everyone can leave little room for you. But let me remind you of something that’s so important: it’s not just okay to take care of yourself—it’s necessary. You can’t pour from an empty cup. This journal is your invitation to shift your perspective, refocus your mind, and give yourself permission to prioritize YOU—mind, body, and soul. Inside, you’ll find prompts, exercises, and inspiration designed to help you put “mom guilt” in the backseat and embrace the self-care you deserve. It’s not selfish; it’s self-love. And when you take care of yourself, you’ll be able to show up as the best version of you—not just for your family, but for yourself. I’m so proud of this journal and can’t wait for it to be in your hands. Let’s make self-care a priority—together! 💕 Run to my bio for the link to get yours today!!! 🙌🏾🫶🏾💗 #fyp #SuperMomSelfCare #GuiltFreeSelfCare #MomLifeBalance #SelfCareForMoms #MindBodySoul #MomGuilt #selflove #SelfLoveJourney #BusyMomLife #MomWellness #YouDeserveIt #MomSelfCareRoutine #PrioritizeYourself #HealingForMoms #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #EmpoweredMoms #MotherhoodUnplugged #SelfCareMatters #MomSupport #ThrivingNotSurviving #IntentionalLiving #journaling #WellnessForMoms #MomLife #MomGoals #MomMentalHealth #journal #SelfCare #explorepage
