Hello, amazing readers!
I wanted to start by sharing a little about myself and giving you a glimpse of what this blog will be about.
My name is Monica, and I’m 33 years old. I’m a proud mother of three beautiful daughters—15, 12, and 2 years old. I’m not married, but I’ve been in a common-law relationship with my significant other for 17 years. That’s right—17 years together! If you do the math, you’ll see we’ve been together since I was 16. That story is one I’ll definitely share another day.
I live in North Carolina, out in the countryside, which I absolutely love. There’s something magical about seeing the mountains in the distance, enjoying the peace and quiet, and having friendly neighbors.
Like most women, I wear many hats. I’m a full-time mom and a full-time worker, constantly juggling responsibilities. At work, I have many roles: office manager, tax preparer, accounting assistant, insurance agent, notary, and customer service representative. At home, I’m mom, cook, maid, teacher, friend, and so much more. I do whatever I can to help those around me.
One day, I found myself thinking: How can I truly express myself? I wanted a space to share my life—the good, the bad, the unbelievable moments, and the challenges I’ve faced, like overcoming depression and learning to love myself. I also wanted to celebrate achievements—not just my own, but those of my loved ones.
I noticed so many women on social media going through similar struggles, and I thought, What if there was a space where I could share my life, and people could see they’re not alone? A place where others could also share their experiences and connect. Someone once told me during a class on overall well-being: “The day you talk openly about what’s really going on—your feelings, your struggles—is the day you’ll feel so much better.” That idea has stayed with me, and I want this blog to be that safe space for all of us.
I’m so excited to share my journey with you, and I hope this space becomes a place where we can connect, share, and grow together. Life isn’t always easy, but through the highs and lows, there’s always something to learn, celebrate, and reflect on. I invite you to join me as I share my experiences, my thoughts, and even my struggles—and I hope you feel encouraged to share yours too. Here’s to creating a community where we lift each other up, one story at a time.
