What's the most painful thing I've ever been told? There was something that my siblings and I talked about recently that really hit me to my core. We were playing we aren't really strangers, talking about our childhood and my brother mentioned something one of my aunts told him. "Once your parents got a divorce, the four of us met to talk about how we were going to handle it and with your dad- we decided it would be best for all of us if we separated ourselves from your famil

Life is really a rollercoaster, isn't it? It has such a way of ensuring that you can feel every feeling. This past 24 hours has been something different for me. I went to a mentorship event yesterday looking for answers on what I should be doing with my business. I have honestly struggled a lot with what I should be doing since graduating. My struggle with putting all of this together is my imposter syndrome. I am my own worst enemy a lot of the time. With the mentorship even

Happy Earth Day Friends! May you find time to be outside today, pick up trash that you may find on the street and find beauty in the spring that is coming. As we progress from spring teases to a genuine spring/early summer. The Earth is reminding us to plant the seeds that we want to see this year. The ground has thawed, so your thoughts are ready to have input again to see what you'd like to see in this year. What seeds should you think about planting? Think about your psych

Growing up my parents always threatened me that "someday when I am a parent I will understand". That one day I will have to experience the girl who I am but in child form. I don't know if I ever want kids. Truly. I think with the way the world is going it is a little scary of a thought to bring a child into this world. I also don't know if I could mentally handle the physical changes that happen to my body when carrying a baby. This image has been sitting in my phone for over

Unlearning your own toxic patterns is a form of self-care. Seeing this line made me want to create a blog post. It is one of the most true statements that I have read in a long time. In order to heal yourself and truly care for yourself- you do need to unlearn your toxic patterns. One thing that I have been doing really well at lately, was changing the way I talk about myself. I used to be very negative about myself, about the things that I do, and the way that I look. My neg

This past week I have experienced some tremendous growth and I am going to shout out the earth for that one. I truly have been able to experience all my emotions this week, not letting them control me and not really having OCD symptoms. Overall it has been a really great growth month. I finished up my OCD training and I am not quite sure if it helped or not but at the end of the day I noticed a lot of growth and I am going to take that as a win. I went to see RuPaul DJ at t

Prompt #229 Use the following sentence as the opening line of a short story: The flowers died on Monday. The flowers died on Monday. They were the last thing that I have to remember you by. The memory of you slowly started to fade with each peddle drying. I should have done more to preserve them, to take care of them- to keep your memory alive. Whenever I let go a piece of you, they seemed to let go a bit too. Maybe I need to take a note from the flowers, I need to let go of

As some of you know I ran my first ever half marathon at the end of February. It was such an incredible learning experience. Not only because I traveled alone for the first time in my life, a whole trip alone. I learned so much throughout that trip. One thing that I did was meet a lot of incredible people. I got to the race as soon as possible because that is me, early or right on-time! I met a group of 6 people from all over the US and two of them ended up starting the race

This is kind of a book review of Money, and the Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks. I have slowly been reading this book and I finally got the chance to dive deep into it and finish. Overall the book has a lot of undertones of religion or a way of life based on teachings. I do like the message that comes with that though. To let go, have optimism and do not think about the things you do not want to happen in your life. These teachings remind us to think about the posi

One of the things that I learned the most throughout the duration of this trip is how much I genuinely love spending time with myself. Photo of rocks surrounding a little steam with moss A lot of people are afraid to spend time with themselves because of the thoughts that they have or anything that makes them uncomfortable. It’s easier to mask that when you’re around other people. When you’re able to spend genuine time with yourself, especially after therapy, it isn’t too bad

Todays prompt is about worth. Who's made you question your worth? Why did you let them? Journal Prompt #72 Who's made you question your worth? Why did you let them? This question is so loaded I honestly do not know where to begin. Self-worth is something that I have been working on for what feels like my entire life to achieve. From what I can remember, I was always compared to my siblings, other people's expectations, and a whole boatload of things. I know we all experience

There was something about this weekend that has me feeling delusional—in the best way. There are some people that are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. There have been a lot of people that have been in my life for a reason, and they have taught me many lessons. People who come for a season often feel as though we needed each other to grow. The people who are in your life for a lifetime are typically seen as family; however, I am more of a chosen family perso

Reflecting on a Rollercoaster Week This week has been one of the most rollercoaster days that I have had in a long time. I am changing my supplements, waiting for updates from doctors, and trying to see what my body can do on its own without the support of hormones and other things that I used to need to keep it going. It has been a weird week filled with feelings of depression, restlessness, and the creeping back of my OCD symptoms. Struggles with Control and OCD Trying to r

TRIGGER WARNING: Death by suicide A lot of people talk about how empowering healing is, even I have been guilty of this because for the first time in my life I am genuinely happy! Since I stopped drinking, and healed my mental health to a point where my body knows that it is safe and not in fight or flight- I am a whole new person. Your physical body will tell you how it feels with the benefits of not having cortisol or your central nervous system finally being calm. That onc

In this phase of life, I have been working on turning into the divine feminine and allowing myself to not be as involved in the controlling aspects that the sacred masculine holds. For most of my life, I feel as though I was in the sacred masculine in order to have some peace of mind. In order to protect myself from the things I was experiencing, that is what was needed. Lately, I have been receiving continuous guidance to tune into the feminine—to let go of control. I am saf

As we close out January of 2026, there is a lot of great momentum in the air. Although there is a lot of tension in the air as well—politically, there is so much going on—sending love to those in MN who are out there fighting against ICE and protecting their neighbors, family, and friends. This year, there is one question that keeps coming back to the top of my mind— "If you don't mind sharing, what is your wish for this year?" There is a lot that I'd like to wish for this ye

After a weekend of adventure and rest, I need to focus on relaxation. The outside temperature is making it hard to be productive today. I started well, completing work tasks, cleaning, and organizing. However, after lunch, my brain feels disconnected. Many suggest tackling the most important tasks first, as this approach is often touted for its potential to maximize productivity and ensure that critical responsibilities are addressed promptly. However, this strategy can inadv

The Weight of Anticipation Do you ever find yourself caught in the throes of anticipation, where the energy of waiting, whether for something exciting or daunting, consumes you? I certainly do. Finding Balance in Anticipatory Energy On one hand, there’s the thrill of upcoming adventures: traveling, reuniting with friends, or even the simple joy of receiving a package in the mail. These moments spark excitement and joy. On the other hand, there’s the weight of "bad" anticipato
