I would not be who I am without the healing journey I’ve experienced, which was pretty much kicked off by what I was broadly and unhelpfully told was “anxiety,” among other labels I would receive in the coming years. Over the next couple decades, while enjoying the great blessing of being Mommy, I continued to try everything I could to somehow get to a place of what some might call functioning adulting, although I could never seem to get my feet under me. And then, desperate for help and with absolutely no other choice, I had to dig myself out. I had to put all my effort into healing. I had to figure out how to thrive within this world as ME.

So . . . I started getting systems in place to guide me through my day, I started learning about all the various parts of my system that need more support than I ever realized. I learned to lean into my practices consistently, to help me to live with greater awareness and intentionality. I finally accepted that I need way more self care than some people for my very sensitive system, and I committed to supporting myself within this understanding. I learned what I need and how to set my life up so that I approach my days with a self-care emphasis. And I started sharing, because creating and encouraging in this way are a big part of what makes me Me. I’m hoping what I share helps to support you on your journey. ♡
