The idea for Queenbeeliving has been incubating for years.

I began to crash and burn at the end of 2018 through the end of 2019.  I caught a horrible viral infection, started getting chronic migraines, sprained my ankle and fell flat on my face.  I’d gained more weight than I’d like to say, and developed stress-induced high blood pressure. December 10th also marked the 11th anniversary of my husband Javier’s passing. 

If there was a time for a wakeup call, I can’t imagine a better one. 

Leading up to the crash and burn, I gave myself to everyone and anyone outside of me – I made sure to put their needs before my own. And even though I told everyone I was fine, I was crumbling inside. 

Not only was I physically sick, but I was mentally exhausted and mildly depressed. 

Let me reiterate – if there was a time for a wakeup call, these sad sick days in bed were it. 

While I was laying in bed, I realized that for the past few years I wasn’t living. I was surviving. 

I had gotten to the point where the elevator ride back down to my car at the end of the work day was the best part of my day. 

I decided that enough is enough. 

After 11 years, I need to live life for me. I feel like I’ve been on the sidelines watching my closest friends get married, buy homes, have babies, and travel the world. I’m finally at a point where I’m ready to start living again. 

I finally feel deserving of thriving

I finally am prioritizing myself and my healing. 

I finally am comfortable in saying NO in order to make room for the sacred YES.

And, I finally am ready to share that process with other women just like me. 

This site is dedicated to sharing my healing journey in real time – It’s my truest hope that in sharing what I’ve gone and continue to grow through can help someone else not feel so alone.  My intention is to remind women that we deserve to love, live, and “bee” free. When you shine, I shine. You got this, I got this.   

With love and honey,

Reyna
