My Story
I’m a Texas girl, a single mom to my beautiful daughter Emily, and a former small business owner who’s had to rebuild more than once.
For over a decade, I poured my heart into running a local beer and wine bar—Caps & Corks. It was more than just a business… it was my second home and my community. Then, life threw me a curveball with an unexpected closure that forced me to start over in ways I never imagined.
That chapter tested everything—my faith, my finances, my mental health, and my sense of identity.
At the same time, I was navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, working through my mental health struggles, and trying to figure out who I was outside of being “the girl who owned the bar.”
Through it all, God kept showing up… reminding me that starting over isn’t failure—it’s faith in action.
Today, I’m walking into a new season—building this blog, pouring my heart into creative projects, and embracing the calling God’s placed on my life.
Why I’m Choosing to Share This
For a long time, I believed I had to hold it all together… to stay quiet about the hard parts and only show the highlight reel.
But healing doesn’t happen in silence.
After losing my business, facing personal heartbreak, dealing with anxiety and depression, and walking through single motherhood—I realized I wasn’t the only woman carrying invisible weight.
This blog isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about showing up messy. Sharing the faith moments, the failures, the healing process, and the tiny wins in between.
If my story reminds even one person that they’re not alone… or helps someone breathe a little easier knowing God’s still in control… then every vulnerable post is worth it.
