My story began in a place many can relate to—a battle with an eating disorder, Bulimia, that developed over years of restrictive behaviors and harmful self-talk. It became my way of coping with unprocessed pain and trauma, carried from childhood experiences that I didn’t know how to navigate.

For almost a decade, my life was consumed by this disorder, and eventually, I developed PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).This is a condition that causes hormonal imbalances, making it difficult to lose weight and often leads to weight gain—something incredibly challenging for someone fixated on her weight. Research shows that 70-80% of women with PCOS experience chronic stress, and 30-40% struggle with disordered eating (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology). These statistics were my reality.

With the guidance of a therapist, I began to process my experiences, release my past, and rebuild my life. Over time, through a combination of therapy and lifestyle changes, I was able to heal my relationship with my body—and even reverse my PCOS.

But healing isn’t linear, and I couldn’t rely on therapy alone. I needed a daily tool to keep me grounded and connected. That’s when I created Bloom, a 365-day journal to help me unpack my emotions, rebuild trust with myself, and reframe the way I viewed food, my body, and my life.

What started as a personal tool became a catalyst for transformation. Bloom guided me to self-love, acceptance, and inner peace, showing me that true healing comes from within. Through this journey, I discovered a deeper purpose: to inspire and empower others to break free from their own struggles and reclaim their lives. Now, I share Bloom with the hope that it can be the start of your transformation too.
