I believe I’m meant to be a mother.
But I’m not there yet.
For a long time, I wandered with quiet questions tucked beneath my skin:
Am I behind? Am I broken? Am I still becoming?
I’ve always felt there was more for me — a life full of love, purpose, and deep-rooted connection. But the path hasn’t been straightforward.
I started the Bloom + Flourish Collective in the in-between.
It’s part blog, part journal, part gentle rebellion against the idea that we have to have it all figured out before we begin.
This space begins with my fertility journey — the tests, the waiting, the hope — but it’s blooming into something much more.
A place where women can grow alongside each other through any season of life. A place to be real, rise gently, and flourish together.
The Vision: Growing Something Beautiful, Together
I dream of a collective that feels like a soft landing and a quiet spark.
Where women can:
- Share the honest parts of their stories
- Reconnect with themselves
- Learn, create, and rest
- Take small, beautiful actions that ripple outwards
Over time, this space may grow into courses, seasonal journals, symbolic milestones, and even giving back — like collective fundraising or care packages for women on this path.
But for now, it’s a seed planted in the soil of hope.
We are growing something slowly, intentionally — and together.

A gentle, honest look at what it means to begin this journey — step by step.
What This Space Is — and Isn’t
| This is a space for… | This isn’t… |
|---|---|
| Healing, honesty, and slow personal growth | Quick fixes, pressure, or perfection |
| Fertility stories and beyond | Just another polished influencer blog |
| Creativity, reflection, and grounded hope | Toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing |
| Community and shared action | Comparison, competition, or judgment |
A Note to You
If you’ve found your way here, I don’t believe it’s by accident.
Maybe you’re trying to become a mother.
Maybe you’re in a season of searching.
Maybe you’re just looking for something softer and more real.
Wherever you are — there’s a place for you in this collective.
You are not too late. You are not too much. You are not alone.
Let’s grow something beautiful, together.
