Life Lately: Busy, Blessed, and a Little Overwhelmed

 Hi everyone! It honestly feels like forever since I last posted a blog. So much has been going on—I just got back from two trips, and now I’m getting ready to head out on another one in less than a week… I know, it sounds crazy!

Between traveling, working, and preparing for my big move to medical school, I’ve been extremely busy. I’ve started packing and trying to get everything organized, but I won’t lie—it’s starting to feel overwhelming. There’s so much to do, and sometimes I wish I had help with packing and moving. But I don’t, so I’m just taking it one step at a time and pushing through.

I knew this move would be expensive, but I didn’t realize just how expensive. Lately, it feels like I’m spending hundreds of dollars every single day, and that’s definitely been adding to my stress.

Still, I’m trying to remind myself why I started this journey in the first place. This is a huge step toward my future, even if it feels a little chaotic right now.

March Madness: Travel, Work, and Preparing for the Big Move

March has been exactly what I expected—crazy, hectic, and full of adventure! I have so much planned over the next two weeks: not one, but two international trips. And all of this while still working three jobs and being a parent to my amazing daughter.

I’ve already started packing and getting ready to move in eight weeks. I’ve been decluttering and tossing things I don’t plan to take with me—and honestly, letting go of stuff feels so freeing. The items I’m not keeping, I’ll be selling on Facebook Marketplace, and my most important belongings, including my car, will be stored in my mom’s garage for at least two years.

Surprisingly, I’m looking forward to living without a car for a while—walking everywhere and embracing a minimalist, almost “nomadic” lifestyle (just kidding… kind of!).

I’ll keep you all updated on my travels and how preparations for the big move are going. Exciting times ahead!

A Win in Court and a Boundary for Peace

 Hi everyone,

Last week, I went to court and received incredible news — the judge approved consent for me to apply for my daughter’s passport. What a blessing. Truly. It feels like such a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders knowing that I now have the freedom to travel with Gianny without obstacles standing in the way.

As a mother, there’s something so powerful about knowing you can move freely with your child — to explore, to experience new opportunities, and to simply live without unnecessary barriers. This moment meant more to me than I can even explain.

I’ve also made a personal decision recently. I won’t be publicly sharing where I’ll be attending medical school. Over the years, I’ve learned that not every detail of your life needs to be announced. Some accomplishments are so sacred, so hard-earned, that they deserve protection. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and I want to guard this new chapter with peace and positivity.

Not everything needs an audience. Some blessings grow better in private.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support and uplift me. This journey hasn’t been easy, but moments like this remind me that persistence always pays off.
