Still Rising: The Woman Behind the Words

Hi, I’m Divanskye—pharmacy tech by night, boy mom around the clock, and a woman in the middle of rebuilding her life at 38.

This space isn’t just a blog. It’s a reflection of everything I’m working through and growing into. After years of surviving, providing, and carrying it all, I’m finally giving myself permission to live, feel, heal, and redefine what success, peace, and joy look like on my terms.

I live in a multigenerational home with my mom, sister, my incredible 12-year-old son, and our tiny Maltese with a big personality. It’s busy. It’s real. And it’s teaching me things I never knew I needed to learn.

I work overnight as a pharmacy technician-work that’s meaningful, even when it challenges me mentally and emotionally. It’s a role I take pride in -but it’s also just one part of who I am. I’m a storyteller, a late-night journaler, a woman craving softness but built from fire.

This blog is my release. My reminder. My reclaiming. It’s where I write about:

  • Single motherhood and what that really looks like
  • Working overnight and navigating boundaries
  • Choosing healing and honesty over perfection
  • Starting over (again) with clarity, intention, and a little grace

I don’t have all the answers. But I do have a voice, a story, and a desire to connect with others who are tired of pretending they’re okay when they’re really just trying to make it through the week.

So if you’re here, welcome. I’m honored you stopped by. Let’s grow through what we go through—together.

A Few Things I Love

  • Strawberry Frozen Lemonade
  • Calla lilies and cozy playlists
  • Journaling at 4 AM (because, night shift life)
  • Getting lost in museums and finding myself in the silence

This space is more than words-it’s connection. If you see yourself in my story, stay awhile. Let’s walk this road together
