Motherhood is a sanctifying journey — one marked by growth, grace, and intentionality.
We often find ourselves chasing perfection, only to realize it’s not the destination we were meant for.
Authentic Joy in the Journey and Bloom and Blossom were born from my own story — a season of motherhood that was uprooted, refined, and ultimately re-rooted in joy.
​
It wasn't in the perfection, but in the mess, that purpose began to take root. And from that place, these spaces were created — a calling to walk alongside other mothers learning to grow, bloom, and find joy right where they are.
Both Authentic Joy in the Journey and Bloom and Blossom
share the same mission: to equip, encourage, and empower
moms in every season of motherhood.
​
Authentic Joy in the Journey does this through coaching and workshops, while Bloom and Blossom brings it to life through gatherings and conferences.
This space was created with you in mind — the mother seeking purpose, peace, and connection as she walks out her calling at home. Whether you’re here for encouragement, community, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
Take a moment to explore the pages of this site — learn more about the Bloom and Blossom Conference, dive into Authentic Joy in the Journey, or find words that speak to your heart. My hope is that you leave feeling seen, strengthened, and reminded that even here, even now… you can bloom.
Welcome
I aspire to equip, encourage, empower, and inspire mothers in every season of their journey. I’m deeply passionate about helping women rediscover wonder, cultivate meaningful relationships, and find joy in the everyday rhythms of motherhood and home education.
My heart is to walk alongside you as you learn to bloom right where you are, nurturing not only your children, but your own soul in the process.
If you’re walking through your own beautifully imperfect path of motherhood and home education, I invite you to come along.
Follow my journey and connect with me on social media — not because our stories are the same, but because our hearts are pointed in the same direction.
Our paths may look different, but we’re all being led toward the same kind of wholeness — a life marked by joy, freedom, and purpose.
