After everything I’ve been through—grief, betrayal, the military, motherhood—one thing I’ve learned?
Sugarcoating is a lie in a cute outfit.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
Why I stopped watering down the truth
What it’s cost me (including a friendship)
Why I still think it’s the kindest thing I do
We talk about grief, military regrets, cheating, parenting, and the moment I realized I could never lie to my kids—or myself—again.
💙 Oliver’s LightThis week, I’m honoring two incredible organizations helping families through the unthinkable:
Sailor’s StoryInstagram: @sailorsstory
✨ They create personalized comfort bags for families who’ve experienced stillbirth or infant loss. Donations and request forms are available in their bio.
Still Here MinistryInstagram: @stillhereministry
💜 A nonprofit sending free comfort boxes to grieving moms, crafted with love to honor their babies. Support and request info are linked in their bio.
This one’s not polished. It’s personal. But it’s real.
And if you’re tired of pretending, this episode is for you.
