Befriend and Tend

💖 BEFRIEND = Self-acceptance

🌱 TEND = Self-care

As a multitasking mom/photographer/author/teacher/blogger who has been on a multi-year journey to ditch stress and overwhelm and lead a more authentic, intentional, and joyful life, I've learned a LOT.

I make videos to share my hard-earned insights, tips, and strategies for increasing well-being so that 🔥 burnt-out and stressed-out women like I used to be (and still am sometimes -- befriending and tending is a process) can make small tweaks to live a happier, more peaceful life.
