This is not something I planned to share, but it matters that you hear it directly from me.
I was recently diagnosed with early stage but aggressively growing breast cancer.
Everything has moved incredibly fast. In just a month, our world has completely shifted, and we have needed that time to process it ourselves before sharing publicly.
I will be having my first surgery in the coming days, followed by time to heal.
Branden and I are navigating this unexpected season of life while continuing to show up for our boys, our businesses, and our community the best we can.
Mentally and emotionally, I am not operating at my usual level, and that has been an adjustment. But no matter what happens, know this: Cancer does not get to take my smile or the way I love my life!
I have lived a full, beautiful, and deeply meaningful life so far. God, I am so lucky to have had so many amazing experiences, memories, and people woven into my life! This is a chapter I did not ask for, but I am walking into it with perspective, gratitude, and a whole lot of fight.
What our family needs most right now is grace and patience. We may not be able to respond to every inquiry, and we will also keep some parts of this journey private. We ask that you respect that.
We appreciate your understanding, your prayers, and your positive support. We are incredibly grateful for our friends, family, team, and community, including the Girl Gang of America members who have already wrapped us in love during this time.
It was caught early, and we are confident in the road ahead.
For now, we are taking this one day at a time, with a lot of gratitude for the life we have built.
Cancer picked the wrong family. And if you know me, you already know… I do not go down without a fight.
