Hello, I’m Rachel! I’m so glad you found your way to my page!

I’ve just stepped into the most difficult season of life yet and want to use this as a way to document the highs and lows. I’m recently single after four years, a mom to a toddler, currently unemployed, no family near by, in the process of finding a new place to live and a new job . YIKES! I’ve got a long road ahead and a lot to take off my to-do list.

I’ll be honest I’m scared to start over and often find myself crippled by thought of how to overcome all that’s ahead. My hope is that once this season of life is over I’ll be able to look back and see the storm I made it through.

If you find yourself in a similar season- I hope we can take this journey together !

💗 Much Love ,
Rachel

Hello again!

*Trigger Warning* Stress/Binge Eating.

My last job was a typical office 9-5 with lots of moving parts, constant phone calls, attorneys, medical providers, under staffed and 3 different Managers in 2.5 years. Then *insert pandemic* - now I am a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) and a full time employee. Stress level 💯.

I found myself stress eating- whether it was cakes or cookies to make me feel better or ordering pizza and fast food because I couldn’t bare to do one more thing that day. I was filling my body with garbage and the stress was helping pack on the pounds. Not to mention I was sitting ALL day.

I was tired of feeling tired, stressed and overall out of control. My emotions were all over and my clothes were too tight. So enough was enough and one day I decided I wanted to try on a two piece bathing suit. WOW. I was over weight and face-to-face with eyes wide open to what I had done to my body.

I so badly wanted to love my body. The body that created a child. The body that gets up everyday to tackle whatever the world throws at me. I had to make it last.

I changed the way I thought about my body, how I eat and how I use it. I use my body to hug and care for my daughter. I love THAT body. I use it to go to work or make meal or clean the house. I LOVE that body. I changed the way I eat in order to LOVE that body. To fill it but not overfill it. I decided to create a body I enjoyed living in.

💗 Much Love,
Rachel
