Team South Carolina U14 Girls 🖤 we love our honey badger, Beast.
No matter what you do, someone will have something negative to say. Try not to take it personally. People judge and criticize people’s lives when they’re not happy with their own.
Follow your heart. Do what’s right for you. It’s great to consider how your choices will affect the people around you. Just know you don’t need everyone’s approval to be happy.

Spent the evening watching movie Believe. Having 4 wrestlers, and Beast enduring concussions, ptsd, inpatient therapy and SI it was amazing to see Helen’s bravery in sharing her story. Thank you for helping develop this movie. All 4 of our wrestlers had amazing takeaways. Of course the Fireteam had to represent 🖤 thank you for helping grow girls wrestling! outstanding work!
From “Toughness Test. JB vs. 2B?
That's a close one, but we take 2B (aka. Beauty but Beast). She’s tough, and the chosen suffering she has endured as a wrestler allows her to navigate with a smile through her unchosen struggles such as this week’s Epilepsy testing protocol (in search of answers). We hope and pray you find answers to aid in your treatment Sophia. Make lemonade. Its your only choice. You define you.”
💜 update 💜
Beast returned to school today. Prayers for no rumors and a safe day. She’s cleared for school as they watch her the entire time, however, she is not cleared to ride the bus. So adjustments are having to be made significantly amongst the household.
The next few weeks are heavily monitored due to the new type of seizure. In the past, she’s had tonic clonic seizures which are accompanied by convulsions. However, Thursday and Friday she experienced clusters of a new type of seizure that could be similar to absent seizures - no convulsions - and are very hard to notice unless you’re paying attention to her. She seized for 17 min Thursday and 22 min Friday.
Due to the onset of new seizures, she will have some tests done over the next few weeks.
💜 30 min eeg to appease insurance
💜 mri
💜 inpatient eeg where we will be at the hospital up to 5 days but they’re hopeful for 24-48 hours. They will be weaning her off meds hopeful to instigate seizure activity to capture data. This means prepping for some extreme exhaustion after the testing and we are released. I am required to be with her 24/7 during this stay.
💜 hormone testing
💜 genetic testing
While we do this, Tommy is prepping to leave in the next couple weeks with the marine corps. Please be patient and kind with our family during this time. If you would like to send a positive/encouraging message or something to help distract Sophia during her inpatient testing feel free to contact me. I’m working on a hospital bag.
If Sophia seizes between now and her inpatient eeg they will emergency admit it her to do the eeg sooner.
We appreciate all the prayers, kind words, help with the kids, encouragement and more.
💜 Perez Fireteam
Eta: in true life fashion, kid 1, 3 and 4 all got hit with strep. Throw some extra prayers we can keep it from hitting Sophia as any illness can trigger seizures. Everyone’s on antibiotics and only 3 and 4 are home today.
God blessed me with being your mother. Venom & Beast. Team Captains. State Placers - 2nd & 4th.
Hammer 🔨 We see you. 🖤

You are my sunshine ☀️
Choose to put yourself first and make yourself a priority. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary.
Father/daughter time 🖤
I’m the first to say “just braid the hair” cause i know all too well how fast this time can disappear and i am so grateful they are building these memories.
Healing takes work. ❤️🩹 Trauma after trauma I’ve had a million excuses/justifiable reasons to spiral - and continue to spiral. This is your reminder that no matter what you are facing you can always choose better for yourself.
- complex ptsd
- r**e
- sexual assault
- physical abuse
- mental abuse
- death of parents (unexpected)
- death of multiple loved ones (some in traumatic ways)
- abandonment
- anxiety
- depression
- substance abuse
- manipulation
- gaslighting
- taken advantage of
- medical trauma with loved ones
[also, friendly reminder, never compare traumas. Just because you have not experienced the same depths doesn’t mean it’s not traumatic for you and the same goes in reverse. Give yourself grace. I’m rooting for you. 🖤]
788 days sober. Happy 247th birthday marines and shoutout to the amazing bartender hooking me up with mock tails all night.
It’s been a very long journey that i have shared lots of highs and lows. ✨ Recently, i received official word that i no longer meet the requirements for PTSD diagnosis. ✨
I have spent YEARS in multiple therapies, learning all the coping skills, taking medications and more. I never thought this day would come but i prayed for it and kept working towards it.
While I’ll never be “rid” of ptsd as it lays dormant and can be triggered at any point, i am celebrating this huge achievement that I’ve worked so hard for.
I cannot begin to list everyone i want to thank for helping me, supporting me, believing in me, praying for me and more. Thank you so much to my husband who forced me to start this journey back in May 2010.
Lord knows this past year has thrown all kinds of extreme stressors/traumas my way and i never ran to alcohol or let myself fall into old habits. Instead, i put my head down, fought hard for my mental health and continued the process to healing. God is so good and while i have celebrated this privately for a bit, i wanted to share because if it gives even just one person hope than it’s absolutely worth it.
Beast representing
Life with you makes perfect sense… you’re my best friend.
Wrestlers have a bond unlike no other both on and off the mat. 🖤
Super 32.
I’m back!!!! 🖤 My first day is tomorrow & I’m so excited! Set up my office space & it’s almost complete, just need to hang a few things.
The past 2.5 years i have worked heavily on my mental health, sobriety, physical health (currently ongoing), marriage & parenting.
This time was immensely needed & while i did side jobs as well as volunteered, I have missed working.
I’m blessed to start my jobs tomorrow that allow me to work from home. Work/Life balance is at the forefront of my mind cause I’ve been clutch at going full work mode in the past. I’m also very blessed that both bosses are huge fans of my volunteer work & absolutely encourage me to continue.
Thank you to those who have supported me through this journey. Thank you to the ones who clap when good things happen. I appreciate all the prayers, encouragement, positive vibes and genuine support! 🖤
So proud of you and the man you are becoming.
Amazing experiences and memories being made.

He’s checked in! Just another step towards his goals.
Welcome home. 🖤🇺🇸
God bless our troops. 🖤🇺🇸
Shoutout to GySgt. Tommy Perez because I know he’s far too humble to celebrate or accept gratitude for this monumental day. If you see him please help us thank him and remind him we see all he does for those around him, not just us!
17 years ago you stepped on those yellow footprints embarking on one of the most honorable careers in one’s lifetime.
Arguably just a boy still, you chose to better yourself and change the course of generational choices in your family and selflessly help your fellow man.
You’ve continued to uphold that commitment with extreme honor, courage, integrity and have a heart born to lead your junior marines both in their military careers and personal life.
If it weren’t for the marine corps we may have never met. The kids and I are so proud of you. You are our own personal hero and have instilled that passion in our children to help others. T is following your footsteps and i couldn’t be more proud of his choice for a mentor to embark on this journey.
We love you. We may not always agree with the Marine Corps decisions for our family, but we definitely agree with supporting and loving you from the homefront!
We have hit the point where he may drive me crazy as a teen but the conversations we have melt my heart. He’s growing into such an amazing young man and I cannot be more proud of him. 🖤

March 4th. The only date with a specific command. A date etched in my mind from Spirit of Hope. Take the 2 minutes to listen to this. This has brought many to tears. This is our Sophia he is ministering about. God has blessed us and has surrounded us with ‘family’ we need in this past 9 months!! (*Update - There is a bit on an audio issue when you press play.

Super quick and easy crockpot meal perfect for busy days and cooking in bulk for meal preps!!
Authenticity and transparency are a huge part of my life: my goal is that i by sharing i can help at least ONE person believe in themselves or ONE person not feel so alone. Welcome to my tribe and I’m excited to clap for you in your winning seasons and help you up in the hard seasons!
Suja is a plant based drink that I’ve fallen in love with. I started drinking it in November to have a ‘special’ drink that wasn’t alcohol or cokes. I am so in love with it that i have teamed up with @lovesuja and they sent me a box of goodies. Y’all, my husband who HATES vegetables even loves it! . . #suja #sujajuice #healthymommy #healthyalternative #PerezFireteam #momof4kids #marinecorps #veggieworld #plantbased #plantsmakepeoplehappy #suja #shareyourstory #veggieforlife #kidtested #kidtestedmotherapproved #dadapproved #healthyandhappy #healthyanddelicious #healthyandtasty #healthyandfit #healthyandstrong #healthyandeasy #mentalstrength #physicalstrength #lifehealthy #lifechanges #smallbutfierce #strongmoms #momtips #momtipsandtricks

When times get hard i pull up old homecoming videos. It reminds me how much i can overcome and that there are moments where everything else stops and i see my children run to their father. Marriage isn’t easy. Military life isn’t easy. I’m glad to have made it through the hard times and fallen in love with my husband even more through out our trials. So if you’re in a rough spot or having a bad day, go look at old pics to gain perspective and clarify if it’s just some grace that’s needed to make it past this rough patch. . . . . . #militaryfamilies #militaryfamilylife #myhusbandismybestfriend #militaryhomecoming #husbandandwifeteam #marriageadvice #marriageworks #fightforlove #lovemyman #handsomehusband #meninuniform #unitedstatesmarine #supportourtroops #13years #cherish #hecompletesme #datingmyhusband #growtogether #homeishere #militarywife #wifeforlife #wifeandhusband #usmclife #likefatherlikesons #marriedatfirstsight #20days #thewife #thehusband #blessedandgrateful #growoldtogether
