Moving to Atlanta at 32 | Moving Day, House Tour & Life Update

Moving to Atlanta at 32 was supposed to be my fresh start… but starting over in a new city hasn't looked quite how I imagined! In this Atlanta moving vlog, I'm taking you along for our move from Charlotte to Atlanta, a new house tour, and an honest life update about navigating change, rebuilding routines, and finding joy in the journey. 🤎 I had BIG plans for this new chapter. Exploring a new city, making friends, creating a beautiful home, and stepping into the next-level version of myself. And of course, documenting all of it along the way! But between the chaos of moving, juggling two roles at work, and trying to find my footing in a completely new environment, I got overwhelmed. And instead of sharing the messy reality, I kind of disappeared. The funny thing is, there have been SO many wonderful moments, too. I'm learning that growth doesn't always mean becoming a completely new person overnight. Sometimes it means showing up for yourself, sticking to the habits that make you feel your best, and finding joy even when life doesn't go according to plan. So come along for moving day, our first days in Atlanta, an empty-ish house tour, and a very real heart-to-heart about starting over in your 30s. If you're navigating a life transition, working on becoming the best version of yourself, or simply trying to build a life that feels really good to YOU, I hope you'll feel right at home here. 💛 ✨ CHAPTERS: 00:00 My Atlanta fresh start didn't go as planned 01:08 Moving day!
