You hear my voice every week on Choosing Chaos, but today we’re doing something a little different. So many of you have asked to know more about me — the person behind the mic — and this episode is my chance to share a bit of my story.

I’ve invited the amazing Kristen Caples to take over as host for a special “flip the script” episode where she asks me the questions. We’re diving into my decision to become a solo mother, the realities of a village that sometimes falls short, and the milestones that have defined this first year.

It’s honest, a little vulnerable, and just a glimpse into the chaos that’s shaped who I am — and why this podcast exists.
