The Weight & The Wait: A Healing Journey of Reclaiming My Body and Myself

This isn’t a glow-up story. It’s a healing one.

The Weight & The Wait is my deeply personal journey through stretch marks, survival, silence, and self-love—after years of carrying the physical and emotional weight of motherhood, sacrifice, and putting myself last.

On May 1, I didn’t just get surgery—I got still. I got honest. And I finally started coming home to myself.

This book is for every woman who’s ever:

• Looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize herself
• Thought about doing something for herself, but felt guilty
• Survived motherhood, marriage, loss, and life in silence
• Been told she was “too much” while carrying too much
• Felt her body change and wondered if she was still beautiful

Inside, I share:

• My raw story before, during, and after surgery
• What the mirror didn’t reflect—but healing revealed
• Letters to myself and affirmations for every phase of recovery
• A bonus chapter on the beauty of stretch marks and what they really mean

This isn’t about becoming a new woman. It’s about remembering the one you’ve always been—before the weight, before the wait.

Whether you've had surgery or not, this is your permission to stop shrinking and start healing.

It’s not a transformation—it’s a testimony.
