My teenage son, Nathan, is my heart and hero, navigating life with cerebral palsy. We kicked off this adventure in the NICU, and every hurdle only made me stronger and maybe snarkier.
I'm your average-ish mom; I'm the minivan-driving, fun-loving type who doesn't let life's craziness get me down. Joy is my compass, and I firmly believe that laughter is the best medicine.
In this balancing act of life, I wear multiple hats—wife, mom, and small business owner. Juggling it all isn't always easy, but it's my unique blend of chaos and charm.
My faith in Jesus is my anchor, though I admit, I spice things up with a few choice words every now and then. Because who says you can't love Jesus and keep it real?
So, if you see a minivan cruising blaring loud music with a mom who radiates joy, waves of laughter, and a touch of irreverence, that's probably me—Aydee, embracing life with all its quirks and finding the beauty in every moment.
I’m a southern bell who lives in Georgia with my husband & two little girls. I am a homeschooling mama by day & a Virtual Assistant & Photographer by night with a background in early childhood education. I love visiting new places and going to see local plays/theater.
I lost my dad at a young age and struggled with severe depression in the past. It’s my testimony now & I love helping moms who carry this burden. I also experienced the NICU with my first baby & then having Two under Two.
I want to bring a non-judgmental inviting, “I hear you, I see you” atmosphere to any mom who feels they don’t measure up.
My husband Joshua and I have four wonderful children. I love to spend time with my family and create fun memories. One of my favorite things to do with the children is sing Christian worship songs. It’s like we are having our own little concert. When its been a tough day and one of the children gives me a tight hug and begins to sing, it definitely lifts my spirits.
In addition to loving my family, I love to encourage and work with women. Often times we are on roller skates and never take a moment to pause. My passion for uplifting women allowed J Shanell Boutique to be birthed.
J Shanell Boutique is a bra specialty store with a focus on Fit, Comfort, and Fashion. We offer bra consultations to better assist our ladies in their bra journey. Working with the top brands in the intimate apparel industry allows us to carry cup sizes A-O , along with extended band sizes.
We also stock Mastectomy bras for women who have experienced breast cancer and or preparing for the breast cancer journey ahead. We enjoy meeting with our ladies to help remind them how beautiful they are.
I am the proud mother of two beautiful, energetic, and willful daughters. Becoming a working mom has added layers of richness and complexity to my life, requiring the acquisition of new skills to navigate the demands of a busy and high-stress existence.
Through the intersection of my professional and personal worlds, I've discovered that effective parenting is more about self-care and self-development and less about adhering to a rigid parenting rulebook. As I navigate the intricate balance of career and family, I've found profound joy and growth through my own development of self-awareness and self-compassion.
I am eager to share insights and practical wisdom with fellow parents, assuring you that, in the journey of parenthood, your kids will thrive as long as you continue to nurture, evolve, and care for yourself.
On a professional note, I bring over a decade of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Supervisor, currently serving as the Clinical Director at Ellie Mental Health in Katy, TX.
My journey in the field has been shaped by a passion for attachment therapy, with a special emphasis on the transformative power of emotionally focused couples therapy.
In addition to my expertise in these modalities, I am well-versed in the impactful trauma modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). As a professional, I've come to understand that our own life experiences often parallel those of our clients, making the therapeutic journey a shared and empathetic one.
I am a wife, a mother and entrepreneur behind A Lopez Lifestyle. I am a well sought-after speaker, best-selling author, and leader in the direct sales industry. I bring passion, humor, and a great pair of shoes to my career.
I have more than 25 years of experience in the fashion industry prior to becoming an entrepreneur. I was discovered as a young model, and my career took me to big cities, creating big dreams.
I have since built a multimillion-dollar business, graced countless stages telling her story, and continue to build a business to help others have success, and confidence, all while dressing chic (albeit mostly now she terms "comfy chic") while working from her home office or on the phone.
My current best-selling book, I DECIDE has become a household favorite, podcast frenzy, and recently announced more to come with the I DECIDE movement to help others step into their own future.
I currently live in Houston, Texas with my husband and two teenage girls.
