Wearable flair for the chronically chill and the people who love them.

Three years ago, I planted a seed. 🌱🧡

I had a vision, a little courage, a whole lot of faith, and absolutely no idea how much this journey would stretch me, challenge me, and change me.

What started as a little enamel pin company with big dreams has blossomed into something I never could’ve imagined. From creating products that help people with chronic illnesses feel seen to developing an innovative adaptive garment born from my own lived experience, Poppy + Monarch has grown right alongside me.

And whew, has there been some growing! 🥹

There have been incredible highs, unexpected setbacks, expensive lessons, and moments when I’ve questioned myself. Entrepreneurship will humble you, babes. But it will also introduce you to a version of yourself you never knew existed.

Three years have taught me to start small, honor my pace, embrace the unexpected, and celebrate how far I’ve come, even when there’s still so far I want to go.

Today, I’m celebrating the woman who took a chance on herself three years ago. The one who kept showing up, learning, creating, and believing.

And I’m celebrating YOU. Every order, kind word, repost, and recommendation has helped this little dream bloom. I’m endlessly grateful. 🧡

There’s still so much I want to build and so many people I hope to reach. But today, I’m savoring the sweetness of what already is.

Three years planted. Three years growing. And baby, we’re still blooming. 🌸🦋

Happy 3rd birthday, Poppy + Monarch!

P.S. What’s something your past self would be proud of today? Let’s celebrate our growth together. 🧡

BIG NEWS. BIG MOMENT. OFFICIALLY TRADEMARKED. ®️🦋

The MRISWTR® is officially a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)! 🎉

This is a MAJOR milestone for Poppy + Monarch. Having our trademark federally registered is a powerful recognition of the distinct identity we’ve built around a product designed to change the game for the chronically ill community.

We saw a need. We created a solution. And we’re building something worth protecting. 💪🏾

Innovation looks good on us. And trust us, we’re just getting started. 🧡

Some days we’re outside, living our best lives. Other days, getting out of bed feels like an Olympic sport. And sometimes, both happen in the same 24 hours. 🫠 
That’s life with a dynamic disability. Our symptoms fluctuate, our energy levels change, and what we can do today might look completely different tomorrow. 
So yes, you might catch us dancing, traveling, laughing, looking cute, and having the time of our lives. 💃🏾✨ And you have no idea what it took to get there, how much rest we needed beforehand, or how we’ll feel afterward. 
We deserve to enjoy our good days without having to defend our bad ones. PERIOD. 👏🏾 
To my fellow chronically ill cuties: I see you. Enjoy those good days, honor the hard ones, and never feel guilty for finding joy wherever you can. 🧡 
May your symptoms be quiet and your joy be LOUD! 🦋

Got someone in your life with an appointment coming up? Send them this. 💌

The MRISWTR® is MRI-safe, metal-free, and built with sleeve access for IVs, ports, and blood draws — because comfort and access shouldn’t be a trade-off.

One less thing to worry about on a day that’s already doing the most.

✨ THANK GOD I’M POPPIN’ SPOTLIGHT: Nwandi Williams ✨

This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Nwandi (Nwandi Imani)! 💖👏🏾 
She’s a therapist, MS thriver, world traveler, taco enthusiast 🌮, and Ph.D. student (Dr. Williams loading… 🎓✨). Through her practice, Release To Peace, she creates space for women to challenge old narratives, embrace who they are, and “fulfill peace on purpose.” 
Diagnosed with MS at just 23 after losing vision in her left eye, Nwandi has learned to meet herself with compassion, adapt to changing seasons, and make room for all the complicated truths chronic illness can bring. 
And whew, she dropped some GEMS:
✨ “God wastes nothing.” MS ultimately led her to a deeper part of her purpose: supporting women with chronic illness as both a therapist and someone who gets it.
🧡 She’s learned that grief and joy, uncertainty and faith, limitation and gratitude can all exist at the same time.
🌱 Her wellness mantra? “Seasons change, and so do we. Meet yourself where you are.”
🎓 And after years of running from the calling, she chose courage over fear and started her Ph.D. program.  
What makes Nwandi poppin’? She’s learning to show up as ALL of herself: gentle and feisty, introverted and outspoken, deeply thoughtful and unbelievably goofy. 😂 
We love a woman who refuses to shrink. 💅🏾✨ 
Go show Nwandi Imani some love and read Nwandi’s full Thank God I’m Poppin’ Spotlight! Comment SUBSCRIBE to get the link for The ChILLness Chronicles sent to your DMs. 💛

ChILL Ones, may this week be gentle with you. 🫶🏾

May your symptoms be quiet and your joy be loud. May somebody listen the first time you say what you need. May your body give you a little more than you expected. May the appointment bring good news, the medication do what it’s supposed to do, and the plans you’ve been looking forward to actually make it out of the group chat.

May you find rest without guilt and accommodations without a fight.

And on the days when your body asks you to move differently, slower, softer, or not at all, may you remember that rest belongs in a full life, too.

We’re praying for answered prayers, unexpected ease, good news, tiny wins, big joy, and a little extra energy to enjoy all of it. 🙏🏾

What are you hoping this week brings you? Drop yours below so we can put a little collective good energy on it. ✨

May your symptoms be quiet and your joy be loud. Always. 🧡

Nobody warns you about the cold. 🥶 You just find out, mid-gown, that this appointment has opinions about your body temperature. 
So I stopped leaving it up to chance. The MRISWTR® keeps me warm, keeps me covered, and still gives my care team the access they need. No more bare-shoulder surprises. 
If you’ve got a scan coming up, consider this your heads up. 💌
