Hello

In 2020, I began my journey at 265 pounds on a 5'7 frame, battling hypertension and prediabetes. Weight loss surgery became my lifeline. Since then, I’ve lost, gained, lost, and gained again—proof this isn’t a quick fix but a lifestyle. With 40,000 Instagram followers, I’ve grown into a micro-influencer known for keeping it real and transparent. At 54, fabulous, and full of fire, I’m living proof that life after bariatric surgery, perimenopause, and raising two successful adult kids (plus wrangling my cats, Pete and Rocco) can still be a whole vibe. A weight loss advocate and champion for anyone fighting the good fight, I tell it like it is—messy, funny, and real. Never married but never short on lessons, I dive into dating over 50, self-love, and the anxious hilarity of midlife with unfiltered girlfriend energy, quick wit, and wisdom hard-earned along the way.
