Here’s the thing I don’t think gets talked about enough when it comes to intent. Intent may not always change how something impacts us — and impact still matters. But that doesn’t mean intent is irrelevant. Both can be true at the same time. Think about it for a moment. You’re put into a deeply unco...

Coming into this new year feels extra heavy for me. I think there’s a part of me that hoped I’d feel better. Hoped I wouldn’t be in so much pain everyday still. Wanted to feel more like thriving verse surviving. But maybe that’s the whole point. We’re all just trying to survive something. A job we h...

When Reality Hits You in the Freezer Today I opened my freezer and the reality finally hit me. We are one of the families affected by losing food stamps this month. I haven’t been able to work a full-time job since 2022 because of chronic pain, surgeries that keep getting postponed, and my body simp...

Things have been a little crazy lately. I finally made it in to see an Endometriosis specialist. He’s sending me to a few others. Our kitten has been so sick he peed on the couch. I’ve been learning how to receive help — the kind that actually helps. And honestly? It’s just been A LOT. Here’s the wi...

I'm so excited to share with you a recent ceiling breaking moment. Picture it, you see something that serious sets your heart on fire. For me it made me so frustrated, I couldn't keep my mouth shut! Now I usually try to be as professional as possible. I try to play nice and don't say too much that m...

Accepting that we are different can be hard enough. Admitting that we need help or accommodations, is a whole other level... But we are worth it and we deserve to function just as the rest of the world. Our disabilities or struggles may hold us back but we won't let them win! We will continue to ris...

I seem to have this problem where I will push myself really freaking hard, and then I get exhausted, am burnt out for a few days or so and then I repeat the cycle all over again. I'm really trying to work on this although I am not completely sure how I'm going to break it. I just keep trying. Learni...

There’s this trend going around right now that says the #1 song on your birthday is your theme song… and mine? “If You Don’t Know Me by Now” by Simply Red. At first, I laughed. Then I paused.And thought — wow, that’s actually kind of perfect. I’ve been misunderstood for most of my life. I never quit...

There comes this point in life’s journey where everything seems to change completely. You find yourself not enjoying the things you used to. Not laughing at the same old things anymore. Your style, taste and type might even change. You either feel like a new person entirely. Or question everything y...

Abundance can mean so many different things. You could have an abundance of stressors. You could have an abundance of money. You could have an abundance of problems. Or, you could find an abundance of blessings. No matter what you choose to look at, you will likely continue to have more of it… So ho...

Trauma can make it really hard to think about. a future. It can feel like the only thing that exists is the present moment. It can even make you feel like there is no such thing as the future. The thing is, even today is the future to from your trauma. Everyday is a new start, a new beginning, a fut...

One of the hardest parts of this healing journey for me has been forgiveness. A simple internet search shows forgiveness as a conscious and deliberate act of releasing anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge towards someone who has wronged us. But what if we aren't actually conscious of it? I ...

In most cases, I would tell people to trust their gut when it comes to pretty much anything in life. I mean our body is a natural system built to tell us when something is right or wrong for us. However, if you are anything like me and you have Trauma - that doesn't always work out for us. Our Traum...

Healing isn’t always easy… Today I was having a conversation with a friend about going on DND and just being unreachable right? Well I said, even if it was an emergency it’s not like I have a car to go get them or anything… What I didn’t realize in that moment… Is that deep down, this was actually a...

There was a point in time where I would get so upset by seeing others win whom I didn’t feel were worthy of winning. Somehow lying, cheating and stealing seemed to be the only way to get ahead. And then there was me who can’t even sneak snacks into a movie theatre… I didn’t understand it. It felt so...
