Wife to my college sweetheart (married nearly 20 years!), mom of four amazing kids (three girls and a boy), and the heart behind Mom Life + Coffee.

I’m a Jesus-loving, coffee-obsessed, book-devouring girl who just wants to help other moms breathe again. I believe we weren’t meant to lose ourselves in life — we were made to flourish in it.

For years, I felt like I lost myself to the daily chaos — toddlers at my feet, a business on my shoulders, and the never-ending hum of everyone else’s needs. I looked around and realized I was burnt out, anxious, tired all the time, and wondering if this was just how life was supposed to feel.

Then I turned 40 — and suddenly, hello adult ADHD and perimenopause. Add in no more nap times, cheer and piano practices, and zero margin… and something had to shift.

What I’ve learned (and what I help other moms rediscover) is this: joy is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. And you can take care of your family without abandoning yourself in the process.

I love to read, to travel, and to stop apologizing for needing space to think and dream again. Mom Life + Coffee was born from that place — and it’s now a community, a movement, and a breath of fresh air for moms who are ready to come home to themselves.

So if you’re ready to stop surviving and start truly living — pour a cup, take a deep breath, and stay awhile. You belong here. 💛
