About Me

Hi Babes! I’m Kirstin Czernek, welcome to my little creative space where I share about all things health, mommy, and living a balanced life. I own a fitness studio called The Balance Culture and I recently became a mom to two babies through adoption. This is my place to share it all, thanks for visiting! XO

The other morning I was talking Tomas and shared w

The other morning I was talking Tomas and shared with him how I am constantly thinking about about when I die, he laughed because after being with me 15 years he definitely knows that this is a top topic of mine. I reiterated to him how important it was for me that my life means something, that I leave this earth having created real lasting change and have really helped people. Legacy means everything to me and it starts with these 3. My mission of motherhood, to be my best for them in every way, to help them be their best so this can be passed to all future generations. I’m noticing more than ever how much even the smallest of moments matter. Through them the world will be changed and it is my greatest honor to see this carried out throughout their lives 🤍

I never thought I would be a medical mom, to be ho

I never thought I would be a medical mom, to be honest I didn’t even know that term existed before becoming one. It has been one of the hardest journeys I have been on but has also grown my appreciation for health and life, causing me to celebrate all the wins. Like when Aria goes 4 months without a hospital visit, 3 weeks without being sick, a week of no doctors appointments, a drop in medication or dose, a completed surgery or procedure, all wins that I am constantly thinking about and thanking God for, all things I have taken for granted in the past.

So tonight we celebrate!! Aria has normal hemoglobin after a 2 1/2 year battle with her numbers. She completed her final iron infusion and in true Ari style handled it all like a boss. God is so good and I am so so thankful, my miracle girl 🤍

We just wanted to hop on here and say we love you

So many new friends on here I wanted to share a li

So many new friends on here I wanted to share a little about myself and my family ☺️.

First off, we’re so glad you’re here! Thank you for joining the wild ride of our life, we promise to keep it interesting 🙃.

So diving in a little about me and my story, I struggled with an eating disorder, anorexia, most of my teen years which landed me in a treatment home called @mercymultiplied when I was 18, I went through a 6 month inpatient program and it truly changed the whole trajectory of my life. I went through a lot of counseling and found my identify in God. I graduated the program and wanted to help women do the same so I went to school and studied psychology and that’s were I met my husband @tomasczernek. We dated freshman year and got married after sophomore year, we moved fast ☺️. We then both went on to do our masters and I graduated with both mental health and marriage and family counseling degrees. I was a therapist for about a year but I had developed other passions in the fitness and nutrition world and really wanted to help women in a holistic way. So I went to nutrition school, got certified in fitness, and opened up a women’s fitness studio @thebalanceculture. I had the honor of leading and amazing group of women for six years and it’s truly is the best community.

Right before I turned 30 we started talking about starting a family and really felt we were supposed to adopt from foster care. We took classes, completed the home study, and were immediately matched with an 18 month old girl. We were quickly told her mom was pregnant and that if we wanted to move forward with her we had to be willing to adopt them both as a sibling group. We prayed about it and had peace that they were our babies. Mia moved in a week later and Kai was born 3 weeks after that. We adopted them both within a year. It was the most life changing, amazing, adventure of our lives and I truly cannot imagine my life without them, I love them so so much.

A few months later Tomas wanted one more baby so I gave him one shot and then I was pregnant with Aria lol. I found out she had Down syndrome and a heart defect when I was 20 weeks pregnant. (Continued in comments)

Coming on here to say thank you to all 10k of you!

Coming on here to say thank you to all 10k of you!! So many of you have joined on our journey as a family at different points; business, adoptions, Aria’s Down syndrome diagnosis and open heart surgery. We have brought you along through the highs and the lows and you all have supported and loved on us through it all, thank you almost doesn’t seem like enough. I’m grateful for a space to share the goodness of God in our life and I’m thankful that you all are here along for the ride, we love you 🤍

Aria does hard so well. I’ve watched this unfold

Aria does hard so well. I’ve watched this unfold in her little life since the day she was born. She sits through all appointments, never whines or cries, waves at each doctor and nurse as they enter the room, blows them kisses as they leave. She’s so tough and patient through every surgery, procedure, hospital visit and stay. I honestly am so amazed by her. She challenges me to live for all the little moments sprinkled throughout our day, it’s just part of who she is. So today was just another day where I sat in awe of a my two year getting her IV iron infusions for 2 hours with a smile on her face the whole time of our four hour appointment, she is just magic ✨🤍

Update on our Ari girl! I feel like she has grown

Update on our Ari girl! I feel like she has grown so much in every way over the last month it’s almost hard to keep up. She went to therapies this week after being gone for 3 weeks and they were all so amazed by her progress. She is a sponge absorbing everything, she knows everything we are saying, picking up so many signs so fast, and is understanding how to make sounds. Physically she is walking almost everywhere, feeding herself with a fork and spoon, killing it with her fine motor skills, and swims with her floaty like a boss now. She is miss independent and that is her motivation for everything so she can do it on her own and do what she wants when she wants 😅.

She is LOVING school and they are loving her! I went back and forth on whether or not to keep her in the one year old class again and I’m so glad I moved her up because seeing what other kids are doing her age is so good for her and gives her so much confidence to try new things constantly.

Lastly, medically Ari is doing great too! She is pretty anemic so starting next week she’ll get weekly iron IV infusions for the next month and it should correct it for awhile, so I’m looking forward to getting that done for her.

So much is happening so fast and I’m so thankful I am not missing a minute of it. I am so so proud of her. Thank you all for loving her so well 🤍

Kai started Pre-K and I truly can’t believe it!

Kai started Pre-K and I truly can’t believe it! He goes to school with Mia now so it’s just hitting different how old he is getting, but I am obsessed with his little personality that is developing as he’s getting older. Swipe through to see the sweetest video of the song he learned at school today 🥺. Also Mia took that first pic and she was beyond proud of herself- she nailed it ☺️. Excited to see my little guy take on the school year, I know he’s going to do amazing 🤍
