For most of my life, people have assumed I had it all together. The 5 AM workouts. The discipline. The structure.

And sure, that’s part of me. But it’s not the whole story.

Beneath it all is a woman navigating loss, ambition, motherhood, and the uncomfortable in-between—where life refuses to be neatly packaged.

I created Miss Swedish Fish as a space for the raw, unfiltered stories. The ones that don’t come with easy answers. The ones that take vulnerability, courage, and time to unravel.

Here, you’ll find me figuring out:

• How to balance ambition with being present as a mother

• What it means to lead in tech while wrestling with ADHD and perfectionism

• How to grieve my mom while trying to honor her legacy

• The push and pull of chasing physical goals, even when my body fights back

• How to find meaning in the mess of it all

Because real strength isn’t just about discipline and grit. Sometimes, it looks like:

• Waking up at 5 AM for a workout, then crying in your car at noon

• Celebrating career wins while second-guessing every parenting choice

• Showing up for others while struggling to show up for yourself

• Accepting that some days, just making it through is enough

Why Miss Swedish Fish?

It started as a joke at work, but it stuck. I’m Swedish to my core—structured, determined, and a little too serious for my own good. But life has a way of breaking you out of the mold.

Miss Swedish Fish is my reminder not to take myself too seriously, even when life feels overwhelmingly serious. It’s about embracing the contradictions—the composed, driven woman on the outside and the messy, evolving human within.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have it all figured out—but don’t—welcome. You’re in the right place.
