about me

Hi!!

If you're reading this, thank you for being here. 🤍

I'll keep this short because let's be honest...we all have busy lives.

I honestly can't believe you're here. Little me is screaming right now.

I've always dreamed of having my own shop, but when I became a mama, that dream got even bigger. Motherhood has pushed me past limits I didn't even know I had and made me more capable than I ever thought possible. At the same time, there's nothing more important to me than being present for my family and the little moments that make up everyday life.

Long before I was a wife or a mom, I had this dream written down in a notebook:

"I want to make an income from home so I can be present with my babies one day."

At the time, I was single. I had no idea when I'd have children. I didn't have a business plan or some grand strategy. I just knew in my heart that I wanted a different path. While the world seemed to be chasing hustle culture, I felt called toward home.

I started a blog. I learned marketing. I opened a small Etsy shop. I tried things, failed at things, learned things. And through all of it, God kept opening doors.

Now, with a deeper relationship with Him than I ever imagined possible, I can't help but want to share His goodness with others.

The truth is, if it weren't for other people sharing their faith with me, I might not have the relationship with Jesus that I have today. Community matters. Encouragement matters. Sharing our stories matters.

Some of my favorite conversations are hearing someone's "God did it" story—the moments where He showed up in ways they never expected. It never gets old.

That's a big part of why I created Truth + Tide.

My prayer is that these shirts become more than something you wear. I hope they start conversations. I hope they encourage someone. I hope they remind you that God is still working, even when you can't see it.

If you're in a season of waiting, trust Him.

If you're holding tightly to your own plans, surrender them.

Thank Him for the doors that closed, the plans that didn't work out, and the paths that looked different than what you imagined.

Because so often, the things we thought were setbacks were actually God leading us somewhere better.

His timing is perfect.
His plans are good.
And He can do so much with a willing heart.

Thank you for supporting my small business. Every order helps me continue building this dream while staying home with my baby girl, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

With love,

Julie
