Grateful to be featured in this month’s IQ newsletter from @associationforvascularaccess 🤍
Living dependent on a central line for decades has shaped how I think about vascular access, patient safety, and partnership with care teams. This article shares what it really takes to preserve a line long-term—and why lived experience belongs in these conversations.
Thank you to AVA for amplifying patient voices in meaningful ways.

Throwing it back to this cozy look from a couple years ago. Back then, I promised myself a year of healing — mind, body, and spirit. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m proud of the growth, the resilience, and the boundaries I’ve gained along the way.
And yes… this velour zip-up is STILL such a soft, comfy staple.
Wearing:
• Velour Zip-Up (size 6)
• High-Rise Align Leggings (size 4)
• Align Tank (size 8)

💕 Health Update
It’s been a rough stretch lately. I was admitted last week after days of migraines, a bad cold that turned into pneumonia, and intense abdominal pain.
My IR doc cleaned out my old line tract and after checking out my CT, found stones in my colon — likely the cause of all the pain I’ve been having lately. Most days have been a 10/10, needing extra pain control and IV meds.
After waiting all week for my MRCP, it thankfully showed no bile duct stones 🙏 but Saturday was scary — I spiked a high fever and nearly landed in ICU when my blood pressure dropped. Thankfully, fluids, antibiotics, and breathing treatments helped stabilize things.
The plan now is for a colonoscopy this week to hopefully remove the stones once the pneumonia clears. Taking it one step at a time and so grateful for all the prayers, messages, and love. 💗

Not all challenges are visible. 💙
Many living with TPN or chronic illness face battles that can’t be seen — but that doesn’t make them any less real.
Sharing this to close out Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week, as a reminder that what’s unseen still matters.

You don’t always see the battles people carry quietly.
For me, it’s IV meds, hydration, and TPN — the supplies and routines that keep me alive and stable every single day.
Sharing this glimpse for Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week, because what’s unseen still matters. 💙

Sundays are for slowing down, reflecting, and getting cozy 💭✨
It’s been a busy, but meaningful week sharing about HPN Awareness, and I’m ending it right here — comfy, grounded, and grateful.
Wearing my new @alo sweatshirt (so soft!) and feeling ready for a quiet day before diving into new projects ahead 🤍

💙 Wrapping up HPN Awareness Week with one final message that means so much to me:
Chronic illness and thriving can co-exist.
Living with HPN hasn’t been easy, but it’s also taught me strength, resilience, and gratitude I never knew possible.
Awareness isn’t just about the medical side — it’s about showing that life with chronic illness can still be beautifully blended with purpose, joy, and hope. 💚
Thank you to everyone who shared, learned, and supported awareness this week.
Your engagement truly helps others feel seen and less alone.
