the invisible load: mom, business owner, & everything in between | weekly vlog

    I appreciate you being vulnerable enough to share your pcos experience. I also live with pcos and the facial hair has increased tremendously over this past year. I was thinking it had to do with turning 30 in a few months because it wasn’t always like this 😩😞 I’d love to hear more about your journey with your fertility and just in general what it’s been like for you. Also, I’m really enjoying your vlogs. I feel like if I vlogged it would have a similar dynamic so I think I can relate lol. Anyways, I think you’re doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work ❤

I’d love to share more about my experience with PCOS and fertility in a future vlog or sit-down talk, so thank you for the encouragement. And I love that you’re enjoying the vlogs! If you ever start vlogging, I’m tuning in because it sounds like we’d be on the same wavelength. Thank you for being here 🫶🏽
