I’ve been going ‘against the grain’ for a long time…

…in 2020 all those years of going my own way with health & nutrition and paying attention to government & NGO agendas (topics everyone around me thought odd and events that sounded unlikely) allowed me to dissect media narratives and set aside emotion to accurately assess and share information.

Though ultimately I lost my 15 year nursing career in the fall of 2021, I have peace knowing I put what was right and true ahead of self preservation and financial stability. God equipped  me with the boldness to stand firm for myself, my children and on behalf of others who didn’t feel they could.

I live a simple homeschool, ‘homemade’, farm life in Central Illinois with my husband, Levi, two daughters & son.

Prior to 2020 this bio would read different.

It would be a story of an ICU nurse that believes emergency care and modern medicine are wonderful assets delivered (mostly) by healthcare professionals who know nothing about actual health & overused by a society that has either forgotten or never learned how wonderfully made we each are.

It would tell of how we have devolved, losing our ability to cook nutritious meals and instinctively know how to care for ourselves and our children, doctors who only know how to treat with surgery and pills after extensive diagnostic testing and putting you through their “if this, then that” algorithm.

& I was fiery about it.

All that is still true. I do still have passion and fire. But after facing loss… loss of my career but more importantly a month later, at 20 weeks pregnant loss of our baby boy… I’m softer. Constantly reassessing and reminding myself the difference between issues that are important and what is important eternally: faith, family and raising the children God has entrusted to me.

I’m glad you’re here.

If you like discussing: headlines minus the hype, conspiracies that aren’t theories, natural wellness, motherhood, loss, faith, homeschool & cooking from scratch…

this will feel like home.
