I am Woman- Chloe Grover

Chloe exhibits the warmth of pure sunshine as her bright blonde hair unfolds golden rays onto her adoring-smiling cheeks. Her presence radiates a similar inner light that is both warm and gentle, conveyed through her kind confidence and cheerful demeanor. As we sit together in her living room, her stories illuminate the space, while the setting sun creates a warm halo around her. She is a woman who lives an abundant life because of her own strength and ambitions. Determination that has been shaped by every step of her journey.

Chloe’s favorite flower is a lily- a symbol of love and purity that mirrors her own essence. She stands with beauty and grace, much like the lily in its finest bloom.

“What I tell myself a lot is that everything will work out in the end. Kind of like fate. But you have to be positive, and you have to work for what you want in life. There are things that happen in life that you can’t control, so you really have to respect the process and respect where you’re at in the present because it will lead you to what is meant to happen next in the future.” -Chloe

Her experiences are authentic, her feelings deeply validated.

Her influential voice captures attention.

Chloe is I am Woman, and this is her story…

Chloe has learned so much about life expectations, and embracing the motion of life, as she has walked through her own experiences and observed others. She’s had her share of hardships and recognizes no life will be exempt from the sting of struggles and setbacks. But with sunshine in her hair she reminds others, “It’s not always raining and the sun will eventually shine through again.” She has repeatedly seen this as a reliable truth throughout her life, and counts on this outcome when she faces the turbulence of life.

“Stay positive and not stressed. When I am feeling stressed, I remember to stay positive and steer away from what I don’t have control, because I remember that there isn’t anything I can do about certain things. Things happen to me for a reason and it will work out in the end.”

Chloe teaches that it’s ok to be scared and nervous with some things because these feelings are part of life and can remind us that we are alive, but we should try new things. She approaches life with courage, always eager to embrace new challenges and experiences.

Chloe is a mother of an adorable two year old son, and is expecting her second baby by the end of the year. Motherhood is something she takes so much pride in as it has always been a natural role for her to embrace. Before starting a family of her own she worked with a lot of children through her job and learned so much about milestones and development. 

Her patience and understanding with her son are deeply influenced by her professional experience and the meaningful interactions she has had with other children. Chloe treasures the connections she’s made with both the children she’s worked with and their families, finding immense joy in the lessons and growth that have come from these special times.

Chloe pours her heart and soul into her family, creating a peaceful and calming presence within her home for her son and husband. Her nurturing nature extends to her relationships with her parents and two brothers, where she acts as a compassionate mediator and a beacon of optimism. She talks positively about her family and shows those she loves so much grace, in hopes that she is shown the same. Chloe is devoted to finding meaningful solutions to the challenges faced by her loved ones, always striving to support and uplift them with her empathetic approach and encouragement.

Chloe has always had a special connection with her older brother, who is three years older than she, and has consistently been her anchor. He has provided Chloe with support and understanding through all her stages in life. Chloe explains,

“I’m more fun and repulsive, and my brother is more responsible. We’ve gone through a lot of difficult things together and we’re very close. We really rely so much on each other.”

Her relationship with her husband, is a wonderful blend of love and playfulness. Having met in their junior year of high school, they share a deep bond encompassing laughter and mutual support. Together, they find joy in raising their son who is growing as a charming blend of both their personalities and features.

When it comes to role models Chloe often finds herself looking inward. Remembering the encouragement she offers others, to use as a source of light for herself. Her encouragement comes from inside herself as she has learned to trust herself enough to listen. Chloe encourages others,

“Treasure and foster your confidence to speak out. Use your voice to stand up for yourself. Be brave enough to express what you want at any given moment.”

As the delivery of her second baby approaches Chloe speaks about her plans for her future. Amid her plans to grow her family, she is also focusing on completing a college degree in health sciences, and is reaching for the end goal of becoming an ultrasound technician. She chose to take her time after graduating high school before continuing her education because she was still deciding on what she wanted to become through a career. She continues,

“I’ll feel more settled with my plans once school is complete. Then my husband and I would like to buy a house with a yard, which will help our family feel a bit more comfortable and content.”

However Chloe acknowledges that she has already achieved so much more than others her same age. She is proud of her independence saying, “I moved out at 18, and bought a house at 19!” Carefully creating a life and space for her own family to thrive in.

“Do what makes you happy. You don’t need to follow any predetermined- specific life plan. You can live your life at your own pace and be content without comparing yourself to others. Trust yourself and your intuition, do what feels best.”

Chloe loves to read. She admits that she used to despise reading and was never intrigued enough to finish a book. However, when she came across the book It Ends with Us, her perspective changed, and she found herself captivated. She realized that she might have just needed the right book—or genre—to engage her. She continued reading more by the same author and developed a love for romance novels. Chloe also enjoys thrillers but can only read them occasionally as they “spook” her when she’s home alone. She loves having physical books around her and is building her own collection for a personal library. Her husband bought her a cherished bookshelf for her room, and she is excitedly filling it, hoping to obtain more books to eventually fill a large home library.

As she reads, Chloe often finds inspiration for her own creative writing. Though her ideas for a potential story currently sit on her mental bookshelf, she looks forward to the day when her creative momentum will push her to begin writing. Chloe has always had a passion for writing, including crafting her own poetry and journal entries, and she is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead in her possible literary journey.

Chloe also finds joy in exploring the arts of music and painting. She plays different types of music depending on her mood and unapologetically enjoys singing her favorite songs with the windows down in her car. She has a special love for country, R&B, and old-school 2000 hits.

She paints for fun and considers herself a beginner. Chloe particularly enjoys imbuing her own creativity on inspiration found in previously created pieces by other artists, considering her own work both magical and imaginative. In addition, she is inspired by painting and sketching plants and flowers, and even designed her own floral arm tattoo with careful attention to the meaning of each flower.

“Go at things with confidence. Speak how you feel no matter what others might think of what you decide. Your feelings are valid, so express how you really feel. Find and use your voice, and stick up for what you want because it’s your life. You live your life.”

People are naturally drawn to Chloe, as her presence creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. She has a unique ability to make others feel comfortable and valued, fostering a genuine desire for others to want to be around her.

Chloe’s warmth and empathy shine through as she navigates her relationships with care and thoughtfulness. She proudly states that her personality is one of her favorite qualities about herself. She values her ability to have meaningful conversations, build connections, earn trust, and simply be enjoyable to talk to and be with. When Chloe speaks of her special gift she says,

“I love that about myself.”
