Before starting this business, I was a Special Education and 6th Grade Teacher — a role I absolutely loved until my life took an unexpected turn. I was diagnosed with Primary Addison’s Disease and POTS after years of unexplained health challenges. A life-altering moment behind the wheel led me to a doctor who finally gave me answers. Addison’s is a rare condition where the body doesn’t produce the hormones needed to manage stress, making every day truly a gift. Though it ended my teaching career, it opened the door to Belle and Co., a place where I’ve rediscovered my passion and purpose. So when I say your order was made with gratitude, I mean it deeply. This business allows me to be creative, connect with incredible people like you, and chase dreams while honoring what matters most. Thank you for being part of this journey.
