Two years ago today, the Lord spoke so clearly to me….

Not audibly, but in a way that was so undeniable, I knew it was Him. I’ll never forget that moment.

On October 18, 2024, a mutual friend connected us with the owners of this beautiful white farmhouse. The home wasn’t on the market. It wasn’t even for sale and we were interested in moving but not in a place where we were seriously looking at that time.

As we walked into the master bedroom, I noticed a crib. And in that moment, I felt the Lord so clearly tell me, “This is your home, and you will bring a baby home to this room.” Again, it wasn’t audible but it was so clearly impressed upon my heart. So much so, that I took a picture to remember this moment.

What makes this story even sweeter is that the owners had grown children, in college and older. There was no reason for a crib to be in that room. It just so happened that their house sitter had a baby, and the crib was there for them. The exact day we walked through.

Ten months later, in the summer of 2025, we moved into that very farmhouse.

And here we are, exactly two years after this moment, in the fall of 2026. Not only are we living in the home the Lord showed me, but we’re expecting a sweet baby who will come home to this very room.

I still get chills thinking about it.

Sometimes the Lord gives us little glimpses of what He’s doing long before we can see how it will all come together and other times we simply have to trust his heart when we can’t see his hand.

His timing, provisions and plans never cease to amaze me 🤍Thank you God for all you’ve done and yet to do. You make everything new.

Four years ago, on a drive to the beach, my husband and I started talking about having a third baby. Our youngest was about 10 months old, and we both felt that our family wasn’t done growing. That very next day, less than 24 hours after this conversation, I got the news that would rock our worlds forever….

A brain tumor found on a full body preventative scan. Needless to say, we shifted our priority from growing our family to fighting for my life.

We had no idea what the next few years would hold…

A brain cancer diagnosis. Brain surgery. Breast explant surgery. Cavitation surgery. Treatments, infusions, therapies and so many decisions about caring for my body. Through it all, the desire for another baby never left us. At times it didn’t make worldly sense, but when we prayed we felt like there was another.

We were so grateful for our two boys and knew we could be content if that was what God had for our family. Still, we held onto that little hope.
This year, after several years of clean scans and with my health in a better place, we finally started talking about trying again. Life was full with our boys and building SAVA, so I started a preconception protocol and we thought we’d try in the fall.

Then came this summer… and a surprise we weren’t expecting so soon. 🥹 BUT GOD.

After years of wondering whether another pregnancy would be possible, here we were. Pregnant before we’d even reached the timeline we had planned. But we know this child is handpicked by the Lord. His plans are always > than our plans.

We did our best to care for my body through every season, but I give God all the glory for this little life. His timing, His provision, and His goodness have been woven through our story—even when we couldn’t see what was ahead.
So many of y’all have walked with us through every treatment and life change. You’ve prayed, encouraged, and held our hands t

Somewhere along the way, wellness started to feel like a shopping list. 

As a functional nurse practitioner AND the founder of a nutrition company, I believe we need to have this conversation.

Before we add another bottle, let’s ask: What are you eating? Are you eating enough? What’s happening with your sleep, stress, and daily habits? And why are those symptoms showing up in the first place?

I absolutely believe supplements have a place. But we should be able to explain WHY we’re recommending one, what it’s intended to support, and when to reassess.

My philosophy will always be: food first. Supplements with a purpose. And care that considers the whole person. 🤍

A healthy lifestyle should support your life—not keep you from living it. 🤍

Yes, I care about filtered water, quality ingredients, eating before caffeine, and choosing organic when I can. But I also drink from plastic cups, eat meals cooked in seed oils, and occasionally have coffee before breakfast.

Health isn’t about perfection or fearing every “bad” ingredient. It’s about making intentional choices most of the time while giving yourself the freedom to enjoy your life.

God gave you this body—steward it well, nourish it often, and don’t forget to actually live in it!
