Continue reading →: Just Grateful- Always Wanting to Share My Story
It’s so interesting to look back on the past several years knowing that I had ZERO idea where I would be today… physically and mentally/emotionally. (also literally in a whole new state) When I talk with people who I just recently met, it’s so hard to explain to them where…

Continue reading →: Learning to be Flexible with the Roller Coaster of LifeOne of the things that I have been working with my therapist on is perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking (and living). It has always been a major challenge for me my whole adult life pretty much (well, and before I’m sure). Working with this therapist has been such a different experience…

Continue reading →: So Much GrowthI’ve been learning so much about myself through the good and the hard things. I think that’s the way life goes… there are always going to be hard things to learn and grow through. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life is a roller-coaster… and honestly, I’m learning to be…

Continue reading →: Overcoming Hard Days + Exciting PossibilitiesLiterally the day after I wrote my last post, I woke up sick. I haven’t been sick in quite a while. I had Covid in November, then before that it was a long time. I used to be sick all the time, and I hated it because I was made…

Healing Isn’t Linear- An Update About Our Beautiful Life
Continue reading →: Healing Isn’t Linear- An Update About Our Beautiful LifeI have been pretty busy these days, so blogging hasn’t come so easily. I will sit down to write, then I get distracted because I have other things to focus on. I think this is a good thing, though. I don’t have a lot of “sit around” time. This blog…

Continue reading →: Life LatelyThis week has been super busy. I had some sort of plan (or more than one thing planned) every day this week. I was really nervous going into the week, but it turned out to be a very great week! My last several posts have been processing through things, and…

Continue reading →: What is my motive?Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to overthink the majority of the time. After my last post about allowing myself to “just be,” I have been working hard at doing that. I have had a week and a half of processing that, what it means for me, and…

Continue reading →: I Can Just “Be”I had a Ketamine treatment today which was actually a very weird treatment… but I went to therapy after and the processing that happened felt super life-changing for me. I’m going to do my best to put it into words, but I’m not sure if it’ll be super clear at…

Continue reading →: Swimming Upstream in JelloMy childbirth education certification class trainer said this to me after I explained how hard it has been to get the course completed (I started it years ago…). I felt so seen in that moment. That’s my whole life. In addition to the ADHD, the depression coming and going as…
