Hi there I am an artist, writer, and mom of two living in Miami, FL.
Midlife is a wild, beautiful, and complicated thing.
Let’s talk about it.
For real.

People told me having kids would change my life, but no one told me just how much or in what ways specifically. I suppose that part of the reason is that it’s different for everyone, but what I really think is that we are afraid to talk about it how hard it is. It’s hard in big ways, and it’s hard in really really small ways. Big or small, if these challenges are left unspoken they have the potential to unravel us from the inside out.
As a woman of the 21st century, I feel empowered to do it all, which is great until it leads to feelings of guilt and inadequacy when I can’t or just don’t want to.
I’m here to tell my stories and to listen to yours because I am damn sure that midlife is not a time for unraveling, it’s an opportunity to thrive and grow in ways we could never imagine.
About My Business
Speaking of growing in unexpected ways…
I used to always say Maker Monkey Workshop is inspired by my kids but truthfully, it’s equally inspired by my desire to lead a life that helps me balance my passion for art and entrepreneurship while being able to prioritize my family. It’s five years old and a work in progress at the same time. A lot of those work/life juggling experiences are the inspiration for this blog, but if you’re interested in learning more about Maker Monkey, feel free to read below or visit the website by clicking here.
