Eight years ago, I walked away from my career as an educator—driven by the bold, glittering promise that I could "have it all." Inspired by the fierce independence of Beyoncé, the wisdom of Oprah, and the rise of the Girl Boss era, I built a business that landed celebrity projects, accolades, and what looked like success. But behind the hustle, my soul was starving.

Why did achievement feel so hollow?

Then came the pivot: a quiet but relentless nudge from God to trade hustle for holiness and performance for peace. I began redesigning my life around rest—curating sanctuaries at home, writing about grace over grind and creating products and retreats to help others do the same. Little did I know God was preparing me for a storm I couldn’t yet see.

When my 3-year-old son, Shiloh, was hospitalized for eight months and later passed away, my faith, my home, and the unwavering love of my community became my lifelines. In those aching days, I learned the sacred power of a space that holds you, where sunlight on the floorboards feels like a promise, where shared meals and tear-streaked conversations over grief and seedlings became prayers, and where God’s presence met me in the mess.

Now, I’m committed to helping weary souls find that same refuge. I share the rhythms that carried me through design, gardening, baking, and writing: Slow down. Root yourself in grace. Let your home—and your people—be a holy place where faith grows and burdens lift.

If you’re tired of striving or longing to trade exhaustion for abundance, I’m here to walk with you. Together, we’ll cultivate homes, community, and lives that breathe, where every room, routine, and relationship points back to the One who makes all things new.

You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s do it together.

XOXO
