LoveFirstAskLater was born out of a small‑town woman’s grit and heart — the kind you don’t learn from books, but from life hitting hard and God pulling harder. I’m a Texas mama with dirt under my nails, faith in my chest, and a backbone built from surviving what should’ve broken me. I grew up on front‑porch wisdom, long roads, and the kind of honesty you can only find in a small town. Life taught me early that love is powerful, but it’s even stronger when you learn to give it to yourself first. After walking through manipulation, confusion, and the kind of heartbreak that rearranges your soul, I rebuilt my life from the ground up,slow, steady, and with God guiding every step. LoveFirstAskLater is my way of handing that strength to other women. It’s a movement for those who’ve been underestimated, talked over, or made to question their own intuition. Here, we choose emotional discipline over chaos, boundaries over begging, and peace over proving ourselves. I teach women how to trust their gut again, how to stand firm without losing softness, and how to love with clarity instead of fear. This space is for the ones who carry their families, their faith, and their future on their shoulders, the ones who know what it means to rise, even when no one’s clapping. Rooted in country grit. Grounded in God. Built for women who refuse to shrink.
