    Today’s the day: Terrified, Excited, and Launching Anyway

    May 28, 2026May 28, 2026

    There’s something mildly unhinged about announcing a launch date publicly before you feel emotionally prepared for it. Ask me how…

    The Weird Little Things Saving My Sanity Right Now

    Lately, life has felt loud. Not necessarily dramatic. Not falling-apart loud. Just… mentally loud. The kind of loud that comes…

Let’s do life together

The air conditioning is working again, the grand p The air conditioning is working again, the grand pup has gone home, and I’m back in my happy place. Ahhh... 

There’s something so comforting about getting back to the little routines that make life feel like home. Today, I’m spending time creating, planning, and doing work that doesn’t really feel like work because I love it so much.

Now I need your help?

I’m overwhelmed with ideas.
What do you want to see?

Solid colored shirts, holiday themed, special occasion, different styles, different items made from reworked shirts, accessories, pet items?

A dandelion is either a weed or a wish. The flowe A dandelion is either a weed or a wish.

The flower doesn’t change. The perspective does.

Lately, life has felt a little chaotic. My A/C has been out for days, my daughter’s wedding is just around the corner, and I’m working nonstop preparing for my first market while trying to build my brand.

There are moments when it would be easy to focus on everything that’s going wrong.

But I’ve been reminded that not every day is a good day… yet there is always something good in every day.

Yes, the house is hot. But it’s not unbearable and I’m saving money on the electric bill.

Yes, there’s a long list of things to do before the wedding. But I get to spend precious time with all of my kids making memories I’ll cherish forever.

Yes, building something from the ground up is exhausting. But I can feel things falling into place exactly when they’re meant to.

Maybe life is a lot like that dandelion.

We can choose to see a weed.

Or we can choose to see a wish.

Today, I’m choosing to see the good.

What is something good in your day today?

One week ago, I did something that absolutely terr One week ago, I did something that absolutely terrified me.

I launched my Shopify store, shared my creations with the world, and put myself out there in a way I never had before.

And you know what happened?

You showed up.

The texts. The messages. The comments. The shares. The purchases. The encouragement. The love.

Every single bit of it has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.

When I started this journey, I was so worried about whether people would like what I made. I questioned myself more times than I can count. But what I wasn’t expecting was the overwhelming support from people cheering me on simply because I was brave enough to try.

And that’s the part that has stayed with me.

Because this was never just about shirts.

It’s about taking chances. It’s about betting on yourself. It’s about doing the scary thing anyway.

If you’re currently standing on the edge of something scary, wondering whether you should take the leap and put yourself out there, this is your sign.

Yes.

The answer is yes.

Do the thing.

Start the business. Write the book. Apply for the job. Take the class. Share the art. Chase the dream.

Will it be scary? Absolutely.

Will you question yourself? Probably.

Will it be worth it? I think so.

Because the freedom I felt after finally hitting that launch button was something I never expected. The thing causing me so much anxiety was actually keeping me from feeling free.

And if you’re scared, that’s okay.

I’ll hold your hand.

Seriously.

Knowing that this journey has resonated with even one person has made every scary moment worthwhile.

Thank you for supporting me, encouraging me, and reminding me why I started this journey in the first place.

You guys are the best.

Well… here we go. Daisies and Defiance is officia Well… here we go.

Daisies and Defiance is officially LIVE.

And honestly? I’ve spent most of today somewhere between crying, throwing up internally, refreshing my website obsessively, and trying to remember how breathing works.

This collection means so much more to me than clothing.

These pieces began as thrifted men’s shirts — worn in, imperfect, already carrying stories before they ever found me. And somewhere along the way, this brand became a reflection of what I believe about women too:

That we are allowed to evolve.
Allowed to soften.
Allowed to become something new without erasing where we came from.

Launching this has terrified me more than I can explain, but I did it anyway.

Thank you for cheering me on, reading my words, encouraging me, and making this whole thing feel less scary. Truly.

The new post is now live. Tonight the shop launche The new post is now live.
Tonight the shop launches.
And somewhere in between I’ll probably have a full emotional breakdown and a soda.
And maybe a few snacks.

This whole experience has been equal parts exciting and terrifying, but I wrote honestly about all of it in today’s post. The fear, the imposter syndrome, the meaning behind these pieces, and why Daisies and Defiance became so much more than clothing for me.

See you tonight, friends.

Meet Soft Riot. She’s the kind of woman who looks Meet Soft Riot.

She’s the kind of woman who looks soft but survives hard things.
Comfortable in her own skin.
Quietly rebellious.

Part of the FIRST BLOOM collection dropping Thursday at 7PM CST.

No two pieces are exactly alike… and that’s the point.
