✨ Hey Loves, new & old! ✨

I haven’t been super consistent on here lately, because I’ve been in a season of healing. But I feel led to reintroduce myself in this new chapter of my life and share a few things about me so you can truly know my heart.

🤎 My name is Melishia (muh-LISH-uh). I am a woman and child of God. My greatest desire is to use my pain, my story, and my gifts as my purpose. I’m learning every day to stay obedient to God’s will, even when it doesn’t look like what I expected.

🤎 I’m a proud Ma of two beautiful children who are truly my WHY. Everything I do is rooted in being the best version of myself, so I can be everything they need me to be.

🤎 I’ve been a nurse for 8 years, specializing in hospice. My first encounter with hospice was when my grandmother passed when I was just 14. That experience shaped me into the nurse I am today. Being able to walk families through those sacred end-of-life moments is one of the biggest blessings of my life. No one deserves to leave this world alone.

🤎 I’m walking through a new chapter after recently separating from my husband of 9 years (together for 12). This has been one of the most painful experiences, but also one of the most transformative. Through therapy, prayer, and stillness with God, I’ve found strength, worth, and clarity. For the first time in 2 months, I can smile through tears of joy instead of pain, because I know God has me and my babies covered.

🤎 At 19 I found my first lump, and at 32, another. I learned I had a 60% chance of developing breast cancer and chose to undergo a double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction. Praise God, my breast tissue tested negative—I’m a Breast Cancer Previvor. Recently, I found something unfamiliar and I’m getting it checked. My message: know your body, do your checks, and be your best advocate.

🤎 This season has taught me to pause, protect my peace, and lean deeper into God. I’ll be taking breaks to focus on him, my children and healing. But my prayer is that every post I share inspires you, adds value, and reminds you that you are not alone.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for being part of my community. I love y’all deeply! 😘

It’s PRIME DEAL DAY and your girl is out here showing up confidently in this new body!

After my double mastectomy, the way clothes fit changed a lot. What used to be a “go-to” fit doesn’t always work the same anymore—and that took time to adjust to. But today’s carousel is a celebration 🎉

I’m learning to embrace every stage, find pieces that make me feel good, and style my body with grace, faith, and a little extra drizzle ✨

Whether it’s a structured blazer, a cozy knit, or a statement dress—when I find a look that fits right and feels right, that’s a WIN 🫶🏽

Let me know which look is your fave in the comments 👇🏽

✨GRWM: Previvor Edition✨

Since my breast 🎗️cancer risk-reducing double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, my body is not the same—my curves, my fit, my style… everything feels a little different now. 💕 Clothes don’t always hit the way they used to, and some days it’s a challenge.

But when I find an outfit that hugs me right, feels good on this new body, and lets my personality shine? 🙌🏽 That’s a WIN in my book.

This is me getting ready to run errands, but also reminding myself (and you): we can love the skin we’re in, even as it changes. 💗

An amazing book by an amazing author! I’m in a new season of healing and this book is perfect for me to reread. 📖🥰

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKU

For months, I put myself on 😩 the back burner. Those that know me, know I’m always laughing and smiling, but for months i was hurting deeply inside. The self-care days I once cherished became the last thing on my mind. But my therapist 👩🏾‍⚕️ reminded me of something powerful: It’s okay to not be okay. It’s also okay to pause and celebrate how far you’ve come. Healing is not a race—it’s a journey, and it requires 🥰 grace.

To my 🩷 sisters reading this: give yourself permission to rest, to reflect, and to celebrate you. Healing doesn’t demand perfection—it simply asks that you keep showing up for yourself. 💕

At just 19 years old, fresh from my annual physical, I felt and found a lump in my breast. That moment changed the way I see my health forever.

Sis, your monthly self-check can be the difference between early detection and a delayed diagnosis. Don’t wait. Don’t put it off. Your body is sacred — listen to it.

Here’s how to do your self-check today:

🛁 In the shower: Use your fingers in small circles, moving from armpit inward.

🪞 In the mirror: Look for dimpling, redness, or changes in shape.

🛏️ Lying down: Press gently in patterns across your whole chest.

𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥:

💡 Do this once a month, every month.
💗 Talk to your family about cancer history & genetic testing.
🙌🏾 Be an ADVOCATE for yourself.

📲 Share this reminder with someone you love today.

I decree and declare that we will be women of faith, wisdom, and courage — walking in proactive health and divine healing. ✨
