Welcome to the chaos. You’re in the right place.
I’m Genevieve. I’m a single mom of four, living in Portland, Oregon, trying to hold it all together and build something real.
This blog isn’t about pretending life is perfect. It’s about surviving the chaos, standing up for what matters, and finding better ways to do both.
You won’t find Pinterest-perfect routines or hustle culture nonsense here. Just real stories, practical tools, and unapologetic honesty about what it means to show up in the world when your energy is low, your brain is overloaded, and the system is stacked against you.
If you’re figuring it out as you go
If you care about people more than appearances
If you want support that feels real, not performative
You belong here
What This Blog Is About
It’s built around four core topics. Pick the one that fits your mood or your mess today.
Confidence, clarity, and glow-up lessons for building a life that feels aligned, grounded, and fully yours
Systems and survival strategies for when your brain won’t cooperate and your to-do list is louder than your inner voice
Where real-life resistance begins. Parenting, caregiving, and unlearning the systems we were raised in while trying to raise better humans
The honest product recommendations you actually need. What works, what doesn’t, and what I’d rebuy with my last twenty bucks
