Hi 💜
It’s the new year.
I’m back.
If you’re new around here, here’s what’s been going on.
I’ve been a s*x, love, and relationship coach for seven years.
I’ve been “That S*x Chick” for a little for four.
I’ve worked with thousands of people - all ages, s*xes, and relationship dynamics.
In the Fall of 2022, my husband and I decided to start trying to grow our family.
After three months of trying, I experienced an early miscarriage.
After I healed, we started trying again, and three months later I was pregnant with our son, Gabriel.
Around 20 weeks pregnant, we found out our baby boy had Down syndrome.
Two weeks later, I went into preterm labor and delivered him on August 10, 2023.
He weighed 1.5lbs and was with us for about an hour and a half before he passed away.
His birth and death completely tore my world apart.
Everything I loved and knew changed in an instant.
All the plans I had for my future went dark.
It was the most challenging time of my life.
After Gabriel’s birth, I made an agreement with myself that I wouldn’t shy away from the grief process and that I would fully show up for my healing - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I did my very best to hold myself, to be tender with myself, and to show up for myself in ways I’ve never done before.
I told myself, my family, and friends that I was taking a break from work and typical life commitments until the end of 2023.
At two months postpartum, I found out I was surprisingly pregnant again.
I had to switch gears and not only focus on grief work, but also on how to let love and hope in again.
I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant with another little boy.
While my heart absolutely aches for the son I didn’t get to mother, I have the opportunity to integrate the experience I had into the mother I am becoming. A mother who has so much empathy, patience, and compassion for her child/children.
With the start of 2024, my “break” from has come to a close.
And I feel ready for it.
I needed a lot of space to just be where I was at.
Now, I’m feeling the inspiration to blossom into where I’m going.
And I feel motivated to do the work that’s required to get there.
I don’t know what the future holds for “That S*x Chick” or my company, S*x & Love Co., but I know things are shifting and evolving.
I’m not the same woman I was before loss or before starting my pregnancy journey and I’m looking forward to how these life experiences inspire growth not only in me personally, but in the work I do with my beloved community and cherished clients.
*My return to coaching and leading is kicking off with me co facilitating a virtual couple's retreat alongside my incredible husband, Jordan. It's three workshops over the course of one day and it's unlike anything we've produced and delivered before! You'll be guided through exercises that will leave you feeling more connected to your significant other.
And you will take home practical tools and resources to set you and your relationship up for success this year.
