Who I Am
My name is Rachel, and I’m a millennial wife and mama loving life in the Midwest. I was born and raised in Iowa and now live in the Kansas City area. Together, my husband and I hold strong Christian values – faith, family, and strong character. I strive for personal growth in each one of these values, and my hope is that these values are evident in every post you read on this site.
About the Blog
I created the word “Chrysalosity” as a way to describe the pursuit of personal growth. Challenging ourselves to develop through every facet of our lives is what us women beautiful – like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.
On this blog, you’ll find a little bit of everything, and that’s not by mistake! I strive to provide helpful tips for healthy living like balanced food and attainable fitness inspiration. I’m also a smart shopper, a good friend, a wife and mother, and a Christ-follower. I believe that we can pursue personal growth in every domain of life, and you’ll see all of that come through in my lifestyle posts!
My hope is that I provide you with inspiration in some capacity. Maybe you’ll find a workout that makes you feel powerful and strong. Or maybe you’ll try a recipe you never thought you’d like. Maybe my stories and experiences shared will give you the confidence you needed to move forward. Wherever you are in your personal growth journey – I want to walk it with you!
If you’re looking for a ten-step cure for your problems (as much as my type-A personality would love that!), this is not your scene. But if you’re looking for inspiration, tangible health and wellness tips, and a cheerleader on your team (me!) then let’s start this personal growth journey together.
To living, growing & flourishing curiously,
