Navigating my mid-30s with grace, grit, and a whole lot of faith, I’m wearing many hats—an entrepreneur by spirit, a writer by heart, a devoted #girlmom to Em & Syd, and the forever partner-in-everything to Kier Gaines. But beyond these roles, I’m evolving and embracing into:

  • A relationship and mental health advocate, using my platform to empower others through vulnerability and shared experiences.

  • A culinary enthusiast who believes in the magic of food and family coming together.

  • A harmony chaser (… because balance is still a myth), finding peace in the ebbs and flows of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.

  • Your go-to homegirl for keeping it real, whether we’re talking family, faith, or finding ourselves again.

how we got here.

In 2017, what started as a small window into our lives with the Kier & Noémie vlog grew into something so much bigger. From The Sit Down Talk to The Simmer Down blog, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of parenthood, marriage, and everything in between. By 2023, I fully embraced my role as a mom and entrepreneur, focusing on relationships, mental wellness, and living authentically. Today, I’m committed to weaving harmony into every part of life while sharing that journey with you.

why i’m doing this.

Over the years, my journey has unfolded in front of you, giving a real look into the beauty and challenges of life. My mission remains the same: to encourage you to live unapologetically, embrace your authenticity, and celebrate the power of love and life. Let’s continue to grow together, finding joy in our stories.
