I am: a 33 year old, a mother to a toddler and twins - 18 months apart, a recessionist millenial, an SLP, an ambivert, an enneagram one, a anything before the 2000s girl, clueless to current trends, and a person who is learning how to allow herself to believe she is worthy as is.

For so long, I was defined by my productivity, my measurable achievements, and the recognitions awarded to me. However, once I had my firstborn and traded 40+ hour work weeks for a part-time schedule to be more present with him, I began a slow descent into identity confusion. I was happy, but I began to doubt myself because I was no longer defined by work. Fast forward a few months and my husband and I learned we were having twins. To save money on daycare, I completely stopped work and stayed home for 8 months. While I was finding fulfillment in being a mama, my internal confusion turned into a total state of loss. Even though I was a present and loving mother, my identity became unknown to me. I realized I needed to start relearning myself and to find ways to believe that I was more than what I started to believe.

Enter Walt Disney World travel planning.

During those 8 months of primarily being a stay-at-home mother, I learned that I could become a verified Walt Disney World travel agent. Walt Disney World is a comforting, nostalgic place to me. My family and I took numerous vacations during my childhood, and I continued to visit the Theme Park into adulthood. I have the knowledge and passion, but I took some time to decide if this was a career venture I was truly interested in. In September 2022, I decided that I wanted to take a chance on myself. I took a leap of faith as a certified travel planner with Simply Magical Travels, LLC.

I began to learn that I am worth the leap.

As the journey of relearning my identity began and I found joy in planning vacations with my clients, I realized that I needed to expand beyond Instagram and nurture the writer in me through blogging. I still struggle with doubt and imposter-syndrome, but I hope in my posts, regardless of topic, that you’ll see a woman authentically investing in herself and inviting others into the same space.

So, here’s to travel planning together, exploring motherhood and personal growth, and continuing the journey of learning that taking a risk on yourself is worth it.

Welcome - I’m genuinely glad you’re here.
