July 2026 Newsletter
Happy July! 🎆
Wow, what a month it’s been. Summertime is in full swing and I hope you’re soaking it all up!
I’ve been super busy between brand projects, our wedding, and general summer activities. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve been working on soon. Until then, enjoy some wedding content.
Have a wonderful rest of your summer!

We passed around a handheld camcorder during our wedding weekend and I’m so pleased with the behind-the-scenes footage we got.

Join me on PatientsLikeMe
PatientsLikeMe recently launched their Friedreich’s Ataxia community, a space where people living with FA (and caregivers) can connect, share experiences, and learn from each other.
It’s an all-in-one platform with:
Real stories: what people are going through, what is helping, and what isn’t!
Curated content and resources for education and empowerment
Testimonials and product reviews
Events and challenges to motivate and entertain
I’m really loving all the new and helpful content on PLM so far.
If you join, let me know!
