One week post-op from endometriosis excision surge One week post-op from endometriosis excision surgery and finally starting to feel a little like myself again 🙌🏻

This past weekend was rough. Lots of pain and very little energy, but I’m happy to say I think I’m finally turning a corner. The intense pain has eased, and now it’s more soreness and discomfort (which I will gladly take over that pain any day!).

I also got my pathology report back and everything came back non-cancerous, just endometriosis, which is such a huge relief 💛

The biggest struggle right now? Post-surgery fatigue is no joke. I’ll think I have enough energy to do something simple like water my flowers, and my body immediately humbles me 😅 So I’m learning (slowly lol) to rest, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time.

Healing isn’t linear, but we’re getting there, slow and steady 💫 Thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and support… it truly means everything to me.

Happy Wednesday, friends 🤍

I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much that I immediately ordered them for the back porch too 🙌 and honestly… best decision ever.

No watering. No dying plants. No stress.
Especially while I’m still recovering from surgery—because let’s be real, plant care is not happening right now 🤣

These look SO real, add the perfect cozy touch to any outdoor space, and are completely maintenance-free. If you’ve been wanting that lush, green porch vibe without the upkeep… these are it.

Perfect for:
✔️ Front porch decor
✔️ Back patio styling
✔️ Low-maintenance outdoor plants
✔️ Faux plant lovers

Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?! Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?! In surgery actually!! 🤣

I’ve been meaning to share an update since my surgery on Wednesday, but honestly, this recovery has been way harder than I expected. This was my second endometriosis surgery, but my first was just an ablation… and this time I had excision surgery. And when I say it feels like my insides went through a cheese grater… I wish I was kidding 🫠

But I have to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am for the team at UNC Hillsborough. From the moment I arrived, every single person who was in the OR came in, introduced themselves, reassured me, and truly cared. That kind of compassion in healthcare is rare, and I felt so at peace going into surgery.

My surgeon was absolutely amazing and believes she was able to remove all of my endometriosis 🙌🏼 We were really concerned it had spread to my bowels based on my symptoms, but thankfully it hadn’t. There was a nodule just millimeters away (which was likely causing so much of my pain), but she was able to remove it safely, meaning I don’t need another surgery with a colorectal specialist, which was my biggest fear.

I go back on May 22 for my post-op appointment to talk about next steps and treatment options. Unfortunately, endometriosis has no cure… and it can come back. There’s still such a lack of research and funding for women dealing with this disease, and that’s something that needs to change.

It’s also heartbreaking that we had to travel 3.5 hours just to receive this level of care. After years of being dismissed and gaslit by doctors, I finally feel like I’m on the right path.

I’m so thankful for my husband and my family who have been by my side through all of this. I’m praying this surgery gives me years of relief and a chance to live more pain-free 💛

If you’re struggling with endometriosis, I see you. You’re not alone. Please reach out to me if you are suffering too, I’d love to share more of my experience with you and help you the best way I can as well! #surgeryrecovery #endometriosis #endometriosissurgery #endometriosissupport #endowarrior
Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC a Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC and I’m just waiting to be called back! They even moved up my arrival time (bless 🙌🏻), but I’ve still got a couple hours to sit here and let the nerves + hanger kick in. And also how sexy does this surgical cap look on me?! 😆

After a brutal pain flare last night, I am MORE than ready to kick endometriosis’ ass today and finally get some relief 🙏 Time to evict everything that’s been causing all this chaos 😜

So help a girl out: drop your favorite distractions, funny stories, or literally anything to pass the time while I wait! Let’s do this!🫶 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosissurgery #chronicillnesswarrior #excisionsurgery
Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and ALL the feels before surgery tomorrow 🥹✨

Just soaking in every little moment today before my endometriosis surgery tomorrow. Started the morning with a cozy breakfast + cappuccino date with my sweet mama at @yellowmugcoffeelounge - aka my last meal before surgery 👀

I’m usually not a big breakfast girl, but you already know I made it count 😂 because pre-surgery rules = no food after 9 am this morning. Then I got the call that my arrival time moved up from 3:30 PM to 2:00 PM 🙌🏻 and honestly… I’ll take that win. The sooner it starts, the sooner recovery begins.

Today is all about the little things I won’t be able to do for a few weeks; long, scalding hot baths, hot tub soaks, and just slowing down. If you know me, you know hot baths are my daily therapy, so not having them for 4 weeks might be the real challenge 😅

But surprisingly, I feel really calm and at peace heading into this. Just ready to get through surgery and start healing 💛 And I feel all the prayers coming through, so thank you guys so much for all your support and love!

So if you saw my endometriosis surgery packing reel sounding like I inhaled helium all day… no you didn’t 😂 I have NO idea what happened, but we’re rolling with it lol.

Since that was a fail, I put together a hospital bag essentials carousel for endometriosis surgery / laparoscopy / hysterectomy prep so you can actually hear (and see) everything clearly this time 🙃

What helped you the MOST during recovery?
Any must-have items for a long car ride home post-op?

POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails AND fast for 32+ hours before surgery 😅

I was honestly so sad taking off my dip powder nails for my upcoming endometriosis surgery next week. My natural nails have grown SO well with dip, but the second it comes off, they go right back to being super thin and fragile… and yep, one already broke 😭

But let’s be real… that’s not even the hardest part of surgery prep. I can’t eat anything after 9:00 AM the day before, and my surgery isn’t until late the NEXT day (arrival at 3:30 PM 😅). So we’re talking about a full 30+ hour fast before surgery… and I already know I’m about to be HANGRY 🫠

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any major surgery, tell me, how did you survive the fasting?! Drop your tips below because I need them 🙏

Just Trying to stay calm, trust God, and remind myself this is one step closer to answers + healing 💛

Flower Lovin’ Friends! Spring gardening is offici Flower Lovin’ Friends! 
Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

    First, thanks for stopping by our book blog 🙂 And my husband tried going Keto for a while, more for medical reasons than anything else. It didn’t stick because he found different ways to control what he was taking in, but if he decides to try it again, this is the perfect snack mix to have on hand! Thanks for sharing 🙂

      Of course! I totally understand that. Everyone needs to do what’s best for their body! My hubby does the Mediterranean Diet more so but he can still have this mix since it is full of nuts and that is an approved snack. And I always love reading your book reviews my friend!

    Charity,
    I love this.
    Anything ‘cheesy’ with macadamia nuts plus almonds is a go for me. At times I switch up the oils with scoops of coconut oil – oh, just yummy!
    This is an expensive diet, but the trade-off with medical bills or prescriptions is such a sweet deal.
    If only we would all understand the value of high fats, low carb diet combined with adequate protein? Healthy fat is a must-have in my diet. I love the questions I attract because households get transformed. I have scheduled the blog to share on social media.

One week post-op from endometriosis excision surge One week post-op from endometriosis excision surgery and finally starting to feel a little like myself again 🙌🏻

This past weekend was rough. Lots of pain and very little energy, but I’m happy to say I think I’m finally turning a corner. The intense pain has eased, and now it’s more soreness and discomfort (which I will gladly take over that pain any day!).

I also got my pathology report back and everything came back non-cancerous, just endometriosis, which is such a huge relief 💛

The biggest struggle right now? Post-surgery fatigue is no joke. I’ll think I have enough energy to do something simple like water my flowers, and my body immediately humbles me 😅 So I’m learning (slowly lol) to rest, listen to my body, and take recovery one day at a time.

Healing isn’t linear, but we’re getting there, slow and steady 💫 Thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and support… it truly means everything to me.

Happy Wednesday, friends 🤍

I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much I loved these faux ferns on my front porch so much that I immediately ordered them for the back porch too 🙌 and honestly… best decision ever.

No watering. No dying plants. No stress.
Especially while I’m still recovering from surgery—because let’s be real, plant care is not happening right now 🤣

These look SO real, add the perfect cozy touch to any outdoor space, and are completely maintenance-free. If you’ve been wanting that lush, green porch vibe without the upkeep… these are it.

Perfect for:
✔️ Front porch decor
✔️ Back patio styling
✔️ Low-maintenance outdoor plants
✔️ Faux plant lovers

Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?! Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?! In surgery actually!! 🤣

I’ve been meaning to share an update since my surgery on Wednesday, but honestly, this recovery has been way harder than I expected. This was my second endometriosis surgery, but my first was just an ablation… and this time I had excision surgery. And when I say it feels like my insides went through a cheese grater… I wish I was kidding 🫠

But I have to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am for the team at UNC Hillsborough. From the moment I arrived, every single person who was in the OR came in, introduced themselves, reassured me, and truly cared. That kind of compassion in healthcare is rare, and I felt so at peace going into surgery.

My surgeon was absolutely amazing and believes she was able to remove all of my endometriosis 🙌🏼 We were really concerned it had spread to my bowels based on my symptoms, but thankfully it hadn’t. There was a nodule just millimeters away (which was likely causing so much of my pain), but she was able to remove it safely, meaning I don’t need another surgery with a colorectal specialist, which was my biggest fear.

I go back on May 22 for my post-op appointment to talk about next steps and treatment options. Unfortunately, endometriosis has no cure… and it can come back. There’s still such a lack of research and funding for women dealing with this disease, and that’s something that needs to change.

It’s also heartbreaking that we had to travel 3.5 hours just to receive this level of care. After years of being dismissed and gaslit by doctors, I finally feel like I’m on the right path.

I’m so thankful for my husband and my family who have been by my side through all of this. I’m praying this surgery gives me years of relief and a chance to live more pain-free 💛

If you’re struggling with endometriosis, I see you. You’re not alone. Please reach out to me if you are suffering too, I’d love to share more of my experience with you and help you the best way I can as well! #surgeryrecovery #endometriosis #endometriosissurgery #endometriosissupport #endowarrior
Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC a Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC and I’m just waiting to be called back! They even moved up my arrival time (bless 🙌🏻), but I’ve still got a couple hours to sit here and let the nerves + hanger kick in. And also how sexy does this surgical cap look on me?! 😆

After a brutal pain flare last night, I am MORE than ready to kick endometriosis’ ass today and finally get some relief 🙏 Time to evict everything that’s been causing all this chaos 😜

So help a girl out: drop your favorite distractions, funny stories, or literally anything to pass the time while I wait! Let’s do this!🫶 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosissurgery #chronicillnesswarrior #excisionsurgery
Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and ALL the feels before surgery tomorrow 🥹✨

Just soaking in every little moment today before my endometriosis surgery tomorrow. Started the morning with a cozy breakfast + cappuccino date with my sweet mama at @yellowmugcoffeelounge - aka my last meal before surgery 👀

I’m usually not a big breakfast girl, but you already know I made it count 😂 because pre-surgery rules = no food after 9 am this morning. Then I got the call that my arrival time moved up from 3:30 PM to 2:00 PM 🙌🏻 and honestly… I’ll take that win. The sooner it starts, the sooner recovery begins.

Today is all about the little things I won’t be able to do for a few weeks; long, scalding hot baths, hot tub soaks, and just slowing down. If you know me, you know hot baths are my daily therapy, so not having them for 4 weeks might be the real challenge 😅

But surprisingly, I feel really calm and at peace heading into this. Just ready to get through surgery and start healing 💛 And I feel all the prayers coming through, so thank you guys so much for all your support and love!

So if you saw my endometriosis surgery packing reel sounding like I inhaled helium all day… no you didn’t 😂 I have NO idea what happened, but we’re rolling with it lol.

Since that was a fail, I put together a hospital bag essentials carousel for endometriosis surgery / laparoscopy / hysterectomy prep so you can actually hear (and see) everything clearly this time 🙃

If you have endometriosis excision surgery or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this is everything I’m bringing to stay comfortable, prepared, and (hopefully) make recovery a little easier 🤍

We do have a 3.5 hour drive home after surgery, which honestly makes me a little nervous 😅 so I’m trying to be extra prepared this time around.

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery before, what am I missing?!
What helped you the MOST during recovery?
Any must-have items for a long car ride home post-op?

POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails AND fast for 32+ hours before surgery 😅

I was honestly so sad taking off my dip powder nails for my upcoming endometriosis surgery next week. My natural nails have grown SO well with dip, but the second it comes off, they go right back to being super thin and fragile… and yep, one already broke 😭

But let’s be real… that’s not even the hardest part of surgery prep. I can’t eat anything after 9:00 AM the day before, and my surgery isn’t until late the NEXT day (arrival at 3:30 PM 😅). So we’re talking about a full 30+ hour fast before surgery… and I already know I’m about to be HANGRY 🫠

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any major surgery, tell me, how did you survive the fasting?! Drop your tips below because I need them 🙏

Just Trying to stay calm, trust God, and remind myself this is one step closer to answers + healing 💛

Flower Lovin’ Friends! Spring gardening is offici Flower Lovin’ Friends! 
Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰
