Let's just put it out there right now: I'm superrr long-winded — I have no cliffnotes filter. I can have full conversations in emojis, or gifs, or abbrevs that only my sister understands. I live my life in a perpetual state of before & after... Before, I was obese and a prisoner in my own body — now I'm a fitness fanatic who works her booty off {literally} every day. Before, I was a shy tomboy — now I'm a total people-person and I play with hair as a side gig {and shop WAY too much}. Before I was a twin mom I went through five rounds of infertility and suffered a miscarriage. Before, I used to judge people by their cover — but being the managing editor and social media manager of a health website for people with chronic conditions changed my entire perspective.  Before I met my husband — I was never truly myself. He helped make me who I am today. I overuse the emdash, will be your biggest cheerleader #communityovercompetition, and I'm forever a serial optimist — hopelessly searching for the silver lining. And that's only the beginning...
