Today, I get to introduce you to something that has been growing quietly in my heart for a long time:
The Wildflower Edit.

A new name.
A new chapter.
A new season that finally feels like home.

If you’ve been here a while, you know this space began as The Princess & The Prosthetic — a name that reflected a tender and powerful chapter of my motherhood story.
It honored the beginning of our journey with disability.
It honored my daughter, Callie.
It honored a version of me who was learning to navigate a life that looked nothing like she expected.

But as my daughter has grown, so has the need for something different.
She deserves to shape her own digital footprint — not inherit mine.
She deserves privacy, autonomy, and the freedom to continue to choose what parts of her story belong to the world.

And I’ve grown, too.
My writing has expanded into womanhood, identity, slow living, nervous system care, emotional healing, cozy rituals, and the inner lives of women who are trying — and tired — and blooming anyway.

That’s where The Wildflower Edit comes in.

Why Wildflower?

Because wildflowers grow where they’re not expected to.
Because they thrive in places that weren’t designed for them.
Because they bloom differently — uniquely — beautifully.
Because their resilience isn’t loud; it’s quiet and steady and strong in ways you don’t notice until suddenly… there they are.

This brand is inspired by the girl who taught me that beauty doesn’t have to follow the rules.
But it’s also for every woman who has ever felt out of place in the “garden” she was planted in.

If you’ve had to create your own sunlight…
If you’ve had to soften in a world that asked you to harden…
If you’ve had to bloom in unexpected circumstances…
You’re in exactly the right place.

Why the Change?

Because my daughter deserves autonomy.

As she gets older, her story is no longer mine to tell in the same way. She deserves to own her narrative, share what feels right, and keep private what feels sacred. Disability will always be part of our family’s story — and part of this space — but in a way that honors her growing independence.

Instead of telling her story, I’ll be shifting toward:

advocating for disability awareness and accessibility
supporting parents raising disabled kids and teens
sharing insights from our lived experience without crossing her boundaries
offering emotional support, resources, and community for families
telling stories that belong to me, too — motherhood, identity, healing, wellness, intuitive living, and growth

To be honest, I’m creating the website that I’ve been searching for myself. I miss the days of beautiful lifestyle editorials. Digital pieces of content (and in magazines!) that were beautiful, inspired you, shared cool ideas with you and didn’t try to sell you something every five seconds. Content that feels like you can take your shoes off and stay a while. Content that is not churned out in 30 second clips only to be forgotten 5 minutes later. Content that is something you look forward to, content that you bookmark (or Pin!) to save for later, and content that forces us to slow down. Content that meets you in the messy middle. Because I believe that softness and slowness is a strategy. A reclamation. A refusal to harden despite what the world around us tells us we need to do.

So my friends, the heart stays the same.
The storytelling simply becomes more intentional.

What The Wildflower Edit Will Be

The Wildflower Edit is a mix of:

• Identity & emotional healing
• Modern, honest motherhood
• Disability-informed insight
• Slow living & feminine rituals
• Seasonal homemaking
• Nervous system care
• Journaling & personal development
• Soft, cozy, intentional lifestyle inspiration

It’s part editorial, part journal, part sanctuary.

A place to land, breathe, soften, grow.

What’s Changing (And What’s Not)

The heart of this community.

Disability will always be part of our narrative — it’s part of who we are.
But now the storytelling is evolving: less about the play-by-play of our family life, and more about the wisdom, lessons, challenges, and advocacy that come from living with disability in the real world.

My daughter’s story won’t disappear — it will simply be protected.
And that, in itself, feels like an act of love.

What’s changing:

• The name
• The design and brand aesthetic
• The expansion of topics
• The stronger focus on soft living, womanhood, hope, inspiration, lifestyle, and identity
• The privacy given to my daughter as she grows

What’s not changing:

• My voice
• My storytelling
• My honesty
• The disability-informed perspective
• The heart behind why I write

This rebrand isn’t an ending.
It’s a blossoming.

A widening.
A stepping into.
A coming home.

And I am so grateful you’re here for this next chapter.

Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or you just arrived — I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for supporting us, cheering us on, and being part of this community.
This next chapter feels like the truest version of what I’ve been trying to create all along:

A home for women who are blooming differently.
Growing gently.
Living slowly.
Healing softly.
And rewriting their stories with grace.

Welcome to The Wildflower Edit — where we grow gently, bloom wildly, and build a life rooted in intention.
