​

Her Rebuild Collective came from a very real place in my life.

I’m not somebody who has everything figured out. I’ve gone through grief, heartbreak, unhealthy relationships, bad choices, low self-worth, moments where I felt lost, and seasons where I knew I needed to take a real look at myself.

​

A lot of my healing came from realizing that I couldn’t only focus on what other people did to me. I also had to look at my own patterns, the things I tolerated, the choices I made, and the parts of me that were still hurting.

​

I also have to give credit to the people and situations that pushed me to really look at myself. Some of the hardest moments in my life made me realize I had things within me that I needed to face, work on, and heal. I may not have wanted that wake-up call at the time, but I can appreciate what it pushed me to become.

I’m still growing. I’m still learning. I still have real-life moments where things feel heavy. But I’m also learning how to choose myself, give myself grace, set boundaries, take accountability, and keep rebuilding.

​

I created Her Rebuild Collective because I know there are other women carrying real-life pain while still trying to be mothers, partners, daughters, friends, employees, and everything else for everybody.

​

I wanted to create the kind of space where women can be honest about what they’re going through without feeling judged or like they have to pretend they’re okay.

​

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being honest, doing the work, and becoming the woman you know you’re capable of being.
