💜 Migraine Triggers: Sometimes the Answer Is “Who Knows?” 💜

One of the most frustrating parts of living with migraines is that everyone wants to know what caused it.

“Was it stress?”

“Did you eat chocolate?”

“Did you drink enough water?”

Sometimes the answer is yes.

Sometimes the answer is no.

And sometimes the answer is, “I have absolutely no idea.”

Over the last two years, I’ve learned some of my biggest triggers:
🌧️ Weather changes
💡 Bright lights
🕯️ Strong smells
💻 Too much screen time
😴 Lack of sleep
☕ Stress
🌸 Hormone fluctuations
🖥️ Neck and shoulder tension from staring at three monitors all day

But here’s the thing most people don’t realize…

I can avoid every trigger I know about and still wake up with a migraine.

That’s what makes migraine disease so frustrating. It isn’t as simple as avoiding chocolate and drinking more water. If it were, trust me, we’d all be cured by now.

Some days it feels like walking a tightrope. You do everything “right” and still end up in a dark room with an ice pack on your head.

So if someone you love lives with migraines, remember this:

They’re already trying.

They’re tracking triggers.
They’re adjusting their routines.
They’re taking medications.
They’re making sacrifices you may never see.

A little patience and understanding go a long way. 💜

Now tell me…

What’s the weirdest migraine trigger you’ve ever heard of—or the one that gets you every time?

Alright now THIS right here… this is the kind of energy we’re carrying today 👏

Some days it’s hustle.
Some days it’s healing.
Some days it’s just surviving on caffeine and a prayer 😅

But the goal stays the same:
➡️ Stay grounded
➡️ Stay grateful
➡️ Keep showing up

You don’t have to have it all figured out… you just gotta keep taking the next step.

And when it all starts working out?
Don’t forget who got you through the mess in the first place 🙌

Now go on and handle your business like the strong, slightly sassy woman you are 💁‍♀️✨

Happy Easter, y’all 💛✝️
He’s alive… and that hope still hits just as powerful today as it did back then.

Listening to He’s Alive by Dolly Parton just reminds me—no matter what you’ve been through, the story ain’t over.

Sunday came. 🙌

Back in 1989, while returning to Tennessee after a concert tour, Dolly Parton heard a recording by Don Francisco, "He's Alive" on the radio. She was so move...

Tomorrow morning is surgery day. 🏥

I’ll be having wrist surgery, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous… but honestly, it’s not even the surgery that’s got me in my head.

It’s the 6 weeks out of work.

That kind of pause hits different when you’ve got bills, responsibilities, and real life still moving whether you are or not. And yeah… that part is weighing heavy on me.

But I’m choosing to trust God through it anyway. This surgery is something I need, and I know there’s a purpose in the pause—even if I can’t see the full picture yet.

If you’re the praying kind, I’d truly appreciate prayers for peace, provision, and a smooth recovery. 💙

I’ll get through this… just might need a little extra faith (and maybe a little extra patience) along the way. 🙃

Love y’all. 💕

There was a season of my life where everything looked dead.
Dreams. Trust. Peace. Parts of me.

Rock bottom isn’t loud like people think.
It’s quiet. It’s heavy. It’s learning how to breathe in a place that feels like there’s no air.

But here’s the part nobody talks about…

Rock bottom is soil.

And soil?
It’s messy. It’s dark. It’s uncomfortable.

But it grows things.

I grew where nothing was supposed to grow.
I built life out of losses.
I found strength in places I didn’t even know existed inside me.

What tried to bury me?
It planted me.

If you’re in that dark place right now, hear me when I say this —
You are not done. You are being rooted.

The other side of rock bottom isn’t perfection.
It’s power.
It’s peace.
It’s knowing you survived what should’ve broken you.

And baby… we don’t just survive.
We bloom. 🌸

This is the other side of rock bottom.

Still healing. Still learning. Still human.
But no longer lost.

If you’re in the thick of it right now, please hear me:

You are not broken.
You are becoming.

And becoming is a beautiful thing.

One day I realized I wasn’t just surviving anymore.

I could rest without guilt.
Laugh without bracing for impact.
Feel joy without waiting for it to be taken away.

Healing didn’t make me weak.
It made me steady.

And that changed everything.

Family healing isn’t a straight line.

Some relationships were repaired.
Some were redefined.
Some had to be loved from a distance.

Boundaries weren’t punishment.
They were protection.

And learning that was one of the most healing things I ever did.
