So Much Growth
I’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 okay with that. Without the…

Overcoming Hard Days + Exciting Possibilities
Literally 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 to feel guilty for it…

There’s Nothing Wrong with Seeking Excellence + Learning How to Avoid Self-Sabotage
In the past, every time I have started to get consistent with healthy habits of any kind, I started self-sabotaging without realizing it. Then I went through months of struggle. This has probably happened a dozen times or more. I’m sure part of it has to do with un-medicated ADHD and other mental health struggles,…

Healing Isn’t Linear- An Update About Our Beautiful Life
I 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 has always just been my…

Life Lately
This 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 I feel like now I’m…

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 how to live that out…

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 this point. And also, I…

Swimming Upstream in Jello
My 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 it desires, and living with…

Identity and Starting with What I Know
Through journaling this morning, I realized that I have a lot of questions about what’s next for me, what to focus on, what’s truth for me (without distraction), what’s important to me, what are non-negotiables, what I’m not sure about still, and what I’m ready to let go of. I spend a lot of time…

Connection with Jesus, Myself, and My Family
I just got out of counseling, and I have so many things going through my brain. I feel the need to blog to get some thoughts out, but they are a bit jumbled at the moment. I will probably have a follow up post. I really loved my previous counselor and felt like she was hugely helpful…
