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…

Learning to Control the Chaos in My Head
I feel like I’ve lost sight of a lot the past week or two. Last year (especially in the fall), my relationship with Jesus grew to a whole new level. I was spending time with Him every single morning without fail… praying for a long time, spending time in His Word, and worshiping Him. I would worship…

In a Healthy Place
The past several weeks have been pretty crazy between packing and preparing to move, prepping school things, moving, then unpacking, but we are finally settling into our new home, and we couldn’t be more pleased and at peace with how things are going. It’s honestly hard to put into words. I will try, but my words…

10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment
Emily P. Freeman is one of my favorite podcasters and authors. Every year, she puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. This is from the pdf with those questions: What worked? So…

Tiny Habits for Consistency
Part of simplifying involves working on my habits in a simple way. I’m reading a book called Tiny Habits by BJ Foog. It is what Jame Clear’s Atomic Habits was inspired by. BJ Fogg is the founder of Standford’s Behavior Design Lab. His book is the data from the research through his lab (and his own life). I’m…
