Since 2013, the Nesting Story blog has been a place where real life was shared long before it was trending. What began as a small corner of the internet with a simple hope… if I could give other moms a glimpse into my home, maybe they would feel less alone… grew into one of the original mom blogs, reaching millions of women around the world. Through honest storytelling about motherhood, home life, identity, and reinvention, Nesting Story has helped countless mothers feel seen, understood, and less isolated in their own experiences. What started as a personal outlet became a trusted space for connection, conversation, and community that continues to evolve alongside the women who read it.

When we first walked through this house, there were a few features that made me stop in my tracks, and this little office nook was one of them. Tucked just off our bedroom, it immediately felt like the perfect place for me…
Storytime…Did I ever tell you about the time Ben and I went for one of our home walk-throughs and looked up to find a giant hole in the roof of the house we were just about to close on? Yep. That happened.…
I am home. My tattoo has never felt more true. Nearly 43 and remarried to my absolute soulmate, living in a full house with five kids and two dogs… I finally feel like I’ve arrived. I’m living intentionally because I’m with someone…

If you’re here, chances are you’re in a season of growth, or standing on the edge of one.
Maybe you’re a mother trying to balance career, identity, and family without disappearing in the process. Maybe you’re navigating a career shift, returning after maternity leave, building a business, or ready for a new level professionally. Maybe you’re craving clarity, steadiness, and a way forward that doesn’t require burning everything down.
Through coaching, personal brand strategy, and ongoing storytelling here on Nesting Story, I help women slow down, get honest about what’s actually happening in their lives, and figure out how to move forward… building their voice, visibility, and opportunities in a way that’s practical, sustainable, and aligned with their real lives.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you find your way forward with what’s already there.
