Life’s a Wild Ride: Juggling Family, Business, and Trying Not to Lose My Damn Mind

Life lately? Picture a circus—except I’m the ringmaster, juggling flaming swords. Every day’s a new adventure or challenge (sometimes both), and somehow, I’m managing to keep all the balls in the air while running my wellness business, raising my four kids, and attempting some personal growth. Spoiler: it’s messy, but it’s mine.

Let me catch you up on this beautiful, chaotic ride.

Family First (AKA, the Ultimate Rollercoaster)

With four kids—Alivia (17), Natalie (16), Presley (8), and our adopted son Josiah (18)—it’s never a dull moment around here. Josiah’s hitting some bumps in the road, drifting in the wrong direction, so we’re throwing around ideas like Job Corps or even the military to help him find his way. The trick? Trying to guide him without playing drill sergeant.

Then there’s Natalie, who’s currently winning gold in the “teenager vs. authority” event. Gen Z and respect? Yeah, still trying to crack that code. Meanwhile, Alivia’s skipping school like it’s a part-time job, but we’re handling that with some tough love. Presley, my sweet little moon-gazer, is keeping the sweetness alive amidst the chaos with her constant artistic creations.

And oh, let’s not forget the bonus baby! Navigating parenthood with an extra little one while dealing with her mom (who can be a lot) is a whole new level of drama. Some days, I’m the peacemaker, other days, I’m just trying not to step on landmines. But hey, we’re getting through it.

Business Hustle: Stop, Drop, and Candy Pop!

Now onto my other baby—my wellness business, Stop, Drop, and Candy Pop. It’s been a ride. Those DNA drops? Game-changer. Presley’s focus and mood have turned a corner, and watching it happen makes the hustle worth it. I’ve been head-down, expanding the business, prepping for a huge vendor event that could be a real turning point for us.

Is it stressful? Understatement of the year. I’m revamping my social media, brainstorming marketing ideas, and connecting with influencers who get my mission. It’s intense, but when you’re chasing big dreams, you’ve gotta show up and go all in.

Personal Growth: Because I Refuse to Stay Stuck

On the personal front, it’s all about consistency. Not the sexy kind, but the kind where I drag myself out of bed and do the thing even when I don’t feel like it. I’ve started this manifestation journey with some friends, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. We’re setting goals, visualizing success, and backing it all up with daily action.

Goal #1: Lose 5 pounds in 10 days (because consistency means getting back on track when I’ve derailed). Goal #2: Manifest more sales for my business (because why not call in that extra cash?). Every morning, I hit repeat on my affirmation: “Today, I embrace confidence and joy as I guide others to wellness with DNA drops, knowing I’m on the path to becoming a corporate director.”

It’s cheesy. It’s also working.

Learning to Thrive in the Chaos

Here’s what I’m figuring out: Life isn’t about having it all together (spoiler alert: no one does). It’s about learning to thrive in the chaos and finding moments of joy, even when it feels like everything’s on fire. I’m focusing on what’s good—my family’s health, my personal wins, the abundance I’m manifesting in my business.

I know I’m on the edge of something big—bigger sales, bigger impact, and maybe even stepping back from my rental management job (manifesting that too). I’m here for all of it—the messy, the beautiful, the parts where I feel like I’m barely hanging on, and the ones where I crush it.

So here’s to embracing the wild ride, keeping my eye on the prize, and learning to laugh through the craziness. Life’s busy, unpredictable, and downright nuts sometimes—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Here’s to your best life—one drop, one dream at a time,
