On a cold October evening, my life as I knew it ended and my radical self-discovery journey began. For 15 years, I had been the ‘perfect’ stay at home wife and mom. Suddenly, I was thrown into the chaos of solo parenting with the kind of reckless abandon that only comes from a drastic life pivot like divorce.
After months of struggling through my new identity, I made a decision: I would rebel against the single mom stereotype. I chose to slow down, become relentless about my wellness, and be who I’m meant to become, unapologetically.
Simple resolve to live soul deep
I am not a professional healer, nor the kind of life coach who always has her ish together and the perfect aesthetic pictures to prove it. I’m literally just a woman, learning out loud, slowing down when the world says speed up, regulating my nervous system after years of living in survival mode, and leading my family with gritty faith that looks more like a wrestling match than wearing my Sunday best.
- fewer habits done consistently
- boundaries that protect energy, not punish people
- holistic healing that encompasses mind, body, and spirit
- personal growth without toxic positivity
- walking, sometimes crawling, in faith
I’m not talking about a glow-up here. I’m suggesting a complete overhaul.
This is about single moms rebuilding their lives after divorce. This isn’t bubble baths and manifesting your dream life. This is being in the trenches of solo parenting, showing up every day on your own terms, and deciding to do the things that make your soul sing.
- It’s a slower lifestyle with deeper roots and imperfect rhythms.
- It’s transparency over perfection, clarity over comfort.
- It’s a standing in the rubble of a life you used to know and deciding that that is not an ending, but a beginning.
Sunrise and Grind is my rebellion against the chaos I’d been given. If you’re looking for a six-step program to your perfectly curated happy ending, you’re in the wrong place. But if you are searching for a village to figure it all out with, welcome.
We are steady rising.
