Rocky and I met at the end of my 3-year “travel phase.” After adventuring off to 42 countries, I came to the realization that I wanted to share my experiences with someone special. My best friend of 18 years asked me on a random Tuesday afternoon if I was “emotionally available” to which I laughed & agreed to go on my very first blind date. Apparently a guy who she knew a long time ago wanted to take me out. After a good week of exchanging witty texts and talking on the phone for hours, my heart pounded as we set up a date and time to finally meet.

The night I brought my daughter home was probably one of the heaviest moments in my heart. With hormones flying, sleep deprivation at its peak & a constantly fussy baby, it hit me hard. I tried to breastfeed- Nothing.
