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.

What Our Homeschool Will Look Like + Nutrition
This year has been healing AND chaotic all in one. The healing has happened through a more intimate relationship with my Creator, really solid counseling, and Ketamine treatments. I am not the same person anymore. Usually, this time of year, I’m really depressed! I have had some situational anxiety, but I have not experienced depression. This is literally the…
