Thankful for this life we’ve built.

If no one is proud of you today, be proud of yourself.

Be proud of the battles you’ve fought that no one knows about.
Be proud of the days you kept going when it would have been easier to quit.
Be proud of the person you’re becoming.

Today, I’m proud of my health. Not because it’s perfect, but because I choose every day to take care of myself so I can show up as the best version of me.

I’m proud of building a career that gives me something money can never buy back—time. Time to be present, to make memories, and to take care of my two young boys while they’re still little.

And I’m proud of the business I’ve built in real estate. Not just because of the success, but because I get to connect with clients I genuinely love and help them through some of the biggest moments of their lives.

For a long time, I waited for validation from others. But I’ve learned that sometimes the recognition you’re looking for has to come from the person staring back at you in the mirror.

So if no one has told you lately, give yourself credit. Celebrate your growth. Acknowledge your wins. Be proud of how far you’ve come.

Because you didn’t come this far just to overlook your own story.

What is one thing you’re proud of yourself for right now? Share it below—I’d love to celebrate it with you.

The longest day of the year calls for a proper St. Charles County summer itinerary ☀️ (aka: “Heat Advisory, but make it cute” with some random MO rain)

Here’s my guide to making the most of every second today:

Coffee at and order Mona’s snicker mocha everyone talks about and then head to your local St. Charles County library! Our favorite so far is the Cliff View Branch (not too overwhelming and tons of kids activities!)

Hit the local parks before it gets too crowded (and before the humidity wins) Our favorites are Zachary’s Playground and Jacob’s Playground!

Smoked STL style baby back ribs at because SUMMER BBQ. Enjoy it on the patio, weather permitting!

Patio drinks (or my favorite…mocktails) at as the temperature starts to cool down—if the sky doesn’t decide to do its little Missouri thunderstorm thing.

End the night at Rotary Park with the best view in town (post-rain = elite sunset potential)

These are the kinds of summer days that make people fall in love with living here—even when the forecast can’t commit.

Comment SUMMER and I’ll send you my free Summer Guide with the best local spots, events, patios, weekend plans, and hidden gems around St. Charles or St. Louis counties!

Don’t forget to show these suggestions some love by liking, following and commenting your favorite local summer spots! 🫶☀️🫶

I already know this opinion is going to divide the group chat... 🫣 but the best brunch in Wentzville belongs to ! Hands down 🤤🍳🍹🥞🌮

If you haven’t tried their Mexican brunch items yet… you’re missing out — they’re *so* good. The drink menu is stellar (yes, it’s worth ordering something fun), and the kids play room is a total game-changer if you’re trying to actually enjoy your meal while they stay busy.

Amazing food, great vibe, and it somehow turns a regular weekend into a little tradition whether for a girls brunch or a family outing!

Some of you are going to disagree very loudly and honestly… that’s fine 😂

This is just one of the local spots I feel weirdly passionate about. And it’s NEVER completely booked. Our little hidden gem 🤩. The full Summer Guide has all my favorites, hidden gems, weekend plans, events, and places worth the hype.

The #1 unspoken rule in our household during an STL summer? Find parks with shade, or go EARLY before the sun roasts everything!

We love a good park date and the STL area has some AMAZING parks! Drop your favorite park below so we can make a visit 💕🫶🛝🛹

Your guide to summer events in St. Louis this June 👉

June is one of my favorite months because St. Louis and its surrounding areas fully come alive. The patios are packed, the calendar is loaded, and the weekends fill up fast.

I rounded up some of the events worth showing up for and a June bucket list you’ll actually want to work through.

✨ UNDER CONTRACT ✨

There is nothing better than making that “offer accepted” phone call to an amazingly sweet first-time home buyer 🏡💛

This beautiful condo in O’Fallon, MO checked every single box — and the moment we walked in, it just felt like HOME for her. From dreaming about homeownership to officially going under contract… this is such a special milestone, and I couldn’t be happier for her!

First home. New memories. Big accomplishments. 🥂

Finding the right real estate agent in and around St. Louis comes down to one thing: will they work in your best interest, no matter what?

The kind of agent to hire is the one who tells you the truth, even when it’s a hard conversation to have.

That’s the standard I hold myself to, no matter the situation.

When you’re ready to work with an agent that’s more focused on getting YOU the win, my DMs are always open.
