Learn MoreLaunching my fertility practice as an entrepreneur was a dream realized, so I started a sleeve to honor the becoming. Mary, a lifelong symbol of strength and devotion, stands on my forearm. Across from her, a trout—a tribute to my sons and the moment they stepped out of boyhood and into something braver.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say: She doesn’t follow maps—she draws them. Every piece is a marker of who she’s fought to become: healer, mother, force of nature. She knows when to nurture, when to raise hell, and she never needed permission to do either.
What would you do with the $25,000?Recently, a midnight plumbing disaster flooded more than my floors—it wrecked my savings and hit my home, which also holds my business. I'd pay that off and get my boys new bikes to fuel their wild hearts. $25K would turn a total mess into pure momentum. Life has a wild way of steering us. I’m grateful we ended up here together. π
