I’m a stay-at-home mom but can’t help finding ways to get myself working again, so here I am. I have one toddler girl and one infant boy who have become the loves of my life. Wild thing to say for a person who didn’t know what to do with kids before having my own.

I began my career in public relations and repped programs and physicians at the largest health system in Philadelphia for almost a decade. After the sudden death of my dad when I was 27, I started a podcast called So Sorry For Your Loss where I shared my story of grief and spoke with others who had experienced their own. Sounds morbid, but it wasn’t. I left my corporate job to focus on the podcast in March of 2022. God laughed at that plan and I became pregnant with my son in May of that year. I suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (made famous by Princess Kate and Amy Schumer) in both of my pregnancies, and was pretty much in bed for months at a time with my second one. I took necessary time away from the podcast and the online boutique I opened for sympathy gifts, All the Skies.

The beautiful community I built with the podcast helped me heal from my grief, and more than anything else, so did my children. I felt it was time to focus on something else and, boom, Kacie and I decided to launch Mother Up! My hope is to create another community that will help women feel supported and empowered.

Some of my favorite things include fruity pebbles, beaches, a good beat in any type of music, theme parties, a soft bed and a real high heel. I am fluent in sarcasm and song lyrics. My best friend is my life line and probably proofread this copy for me; my husband is my safe space and my greatest adventure; and my mom (who my daughter looks more like than she does me) is my twin soul.
