Hi, I’m Cindy — also known as Sassy Southern Grandma.

I grew up in a small town in eastern North Carolina, and life has taken me through just about every season since. I’m a mother of five I raised largely on my own, a bonus mom to three more, and a grandmother to a whole crew of grandkids. I’ve loved deeply, learned the hard way more than once, and found my footing again when I needed to.

Alongside my own life experience, I’m currently working as a registered nurse, which gives me a front-row seat to how people are really coping, struggling, and healing — often quietly.

This space isn’t about quick fixes or perfect answers. It’s about thoughtful perspective, honest reflection, and the kind of conversation that helps you feel less alone when life feels heavy.

If something here helps, take it with you.
If it doesn’t, you’re free to leave it behind.
You’re welcome here.
