My story isn’t just about a hip replacement—it’s about finding purpose through one of the hardest seasons of my life. At 45 years old, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip. As the pain progressed, I eventually needed a total hip replacement. On March 4, 2026, I had surgery, and thankfully, everything went beautifully. What I wasn’t prepared for was the recovery outside of the hospital. I lost a job that I truly loved. I spent weeks at home feeling isolated, discouraged, and battling depression. The people I had always shown up for during their difficult moments weren’t there when I needed them most. That hurt more than the surgery itself. But that season taught me something I’ll never forget… I am stronger than I ever imagined. Instead of allowing disappointment to define me, I decided to let it shape my purpose. That’s how The Healing Edit was born. The Healing Edit is for anyone recovering from surgery, illness, or life-changing medical procedures. I create thoughtful recovery boxes designed to bring comfort, keep your mind engaged, and remind you that you are not alone. But I didn’t want to stop there. Sometimes what people need most isn’t another text message that says, “Let me know if you need anything.” They need someone who actually shows up. I’ll come sit with you. I’ll make sure you have water, eat lunch, help you safely move around, laugh with you, and remind you not to make those funny post-surgery decisions we all seem to make. I’ll be the support person I wish I had when I was recovering. I travel because healing shouldn’t depend on whether someone has family nearby or friends who follow through. If you’ve ever felt forgotten during recovery, I want you to know this: You are not alone anymore. I’m a fighter. And if you’ve lost your strength for a moment, let me help you find your fighting spirit again. The Healing Edit
Because healing is about more than recovering physically—it’s about feeling seen, supported, and loved every step of the way. ❤️ LTKgrwm LTKstorytime LTKdayinmylife
