Welcome y’all! I am a Southern Catholic woman dancing into midlife while contemplating questions and graces along the way. After many years as a homeschooling and stay-at-home mom, I am dusting off my writer’s voice, expanding my natural wellness and holistic hormone training, and inviting other women to walk with me in this new stage of becoming.

I hope you will find encouragement here, thoughts to ponder, helpful tools, and a friendly companion in life’s beautiful messiness. You’ll find me sharing about faith, family, natural wellness, books, and more here. I find joy in God’s whispers all around me and feel called to share that with you.

In this latest chapter of life, I have collaborated on two books, offer women’s hormone coaching through Magnificat Wellness, lead weekly SoulCore Rosary classes at my parish and on retreats, create handcrafted essential oil blends inspired by the saints, advocate for holistic health tools, and lead a Well-Read Moms Book Club - to name just a few things.

You can connect with me most easily by signing up for my Substack newsletter, Becoming Velveteen. Here I write recollections about the blessings I’ve received and muse on becoming a softer, stronger, and more real version of myself in these midlife years.

I live in Augusta, Georgia with my husband, John, and my twin sons, Connor and Ethan. In my little corner of the world, I hope to bear witness to the One who is transforming my life - body, mind and soul. He wants to do the same for you. I am so grateful you are here!
