Before the Bloom

This is where the journey begins.

Not with answers, but with questions. Not with a grand plan, but with one quiet step forward.

These first posts are written from the waiting ground — the tender space before treatment begins. A season shaped by hope, uncertainty, and the quiet ache of not knowing what comes next.

Here, I start to share my story.

The wondering. The longing. The first steps — booking the appointment, sitting in that quiet waiting room, learning how to hope without breaking.

It’s also where Bloom + Flourish takes root.

This space was born in the same season as my longing for motherhood. Grown slowly. Tended gently. A different kind of creation — but one that carries just as much care. In many ways, I am becoming a mother twice: once to the child I hope for, and again to this collective I’m building with love.

Before the Bloom is the ground beneath everything.

The place where courage begins.

Where we learn to carry hope, care for ourselves, and plant seeds that may take time to rise — but are no less real.

If you’re here too — waiting, wondering, quietly growing — you are not alone.

Let’s begin, gently, together.
