Colleen
Colleen was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia and became a Richmond transplant in 2012 when her husband’s job relocated them to the area. After her first son was born in 2015, Colleen quit her job and is now in that weird work/stay-at-home-mom limbo. Colleen stays at home, but also owns a life coaching business and blog, both of which are geared towards empowering women and shining a light on the “real life” side of motherhood.When she’s not writing or working (or pregnant), Colleen enjoys red wine, sushi, and yoga pants.
