When I was about 8 years old, my mom was driving me to swim practice and talking about a friend who was getting her PhD the week before her wedding. She was planning a trip so she could attend both.

For some reason, my immediate question was:

“Wait... do you have to get a PhD before you get married?”

Without missing a beat, my mom said, “Yep.” 😂

So before I even graduated elementary school, I was convinced that getting a doctorate was just a normal milestone of adulthood.

It became a running joke between us throughout my life, but even after I found out that wasn’t actually how it worked, earning a doctorate stayed on my bucket list.

Unfortunately, it took me two master’s degrees before I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. But nearly 30 years after that conversation in the car, I finally checked the box.✔️

5 years ago today, I lost my mom, and it will forever be the hardest day of my life.

My mom was my biggest supporter, and although I miss her so much every day, big events like my graduation a couple of weeks ago feel especially hard.

I remember when I was little we would spend hours at the kitchen table reading books and studying. She always had funny things that made me remember my vocab words and car rides were full of making up songs and mnemonics to help my ADHD brain remember.

She inspired my love of reading because she never went anywhere without a book (same 🙋🏼‍♀️), and always shared her love of chemistry with me. She valued education so much, and a huge part of why I have my doctorate today is because of her. The whole convo about me getting my doctorate was a car ride convo with her in the way to swim practice, but that’s a story for another day.

My mom was a mom first, but she also loved her job as a chemist working in the lab 🧪. I spent so much time with her at work when I was a kid, and I can still remember how excited she would get talking about chemistry. We even had a line of beakers sitting on our kitchen windowsill for as long as I can remember.👩‍🔬

She was one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever known. She would do anything for anyone. Truly, everyone loved her so much.

As I was reflecting on the grief and gratitude, I really wanted to channel it into something that could change the life of someone else, like my mom did for so many others. So as a gift to myself for finishing my doctorate, and as a way to honor her memory, I started a scholarship for women pursuing chemistry.

Starting this scholarship felt like the most meaningful way I could carry a small piece of her forward and help support women who love the field she loved so much.

My goal is to continue to grow this scholarship as my business continues to grow. It feels like such a privilege to support someone else in their journey and honor my mom at the same time 🤍

Feeling calm and confident around food doesn’t com

Feeling calm and confident around food doesn’t come from dieting, even though that’s what’s promised.

Feeling calm and confident around food comes from within. From truly understanding what your body needs from both a physical and emotional perspective.

Younger chocolate pudding loving me would be so happy that I healed my relationship with food and help others do the same. 🤎

Serious question: should I bring back the bangs? 👀😂
