I felt so broken and lost —and I knew that if I wanted to make it through, I couldn’t keep going as I had been. But how do you move forward when life throws you a curveball? How do you find happiness while also dealing with something really freaking hard?

What I learned changed my life and inspired my business. It's why I do what I do. Because we all face hard things—whether it’s infertility like me—a divorce or a health scare, the loss of a loved one or overwhelming debt, a job that’s sucking the life out of you, or even a global pandemic—and it doesn't mean you deserve it or you're doing anything wrong...or that there's something fundamentally wrong with you— it's just how life goes. It's one big mashup of the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Happiness isn’t about life going perfectly, it isn’t about always being positive or keeping it together all the time or things working out the way you thought they would. It's about living each day in line with who you are and what you want. It's about being able to be yourself, do work that matters, and enjoy your day-to-day. And it's about doing the things every single day to take care of yourself so that you feel good and can actually live in this way.
