Hey friends! Happy Monday 🤗

Sometimes I hear statements from survivors of childhood trauma saying they aren't smart or other people are more intelligent. I grew up thinking I was dumb because other people around me knew way more informati…

Take. Your. Time 🌈 These are the very three words I try and remind myself of every time I fall into a comparison trap. Just at 22, I sometimes feel like my life should be already set. I should have a full time job already. I should have this…

Still just here to remind you how wonderful you are.

Share some kindness and give someone a compliment today - especially if it’s a back to school or work day, the little pick me up might be needed! 💕

i strive to live without fear or avoidance of my own feelings, i truly think the best thing to do is allow yourself to process and really feel your feelings ! but some days, we simply don’t have the energy to do emotional work, and that’s okay !!…

I got into college.

It was a hell of a process, but at 36 I’m going for my 5th attempt at an undergrad degree. Differences this time around: I’m older, I’m motivated, I know what I want, I understand myself more, I’m no longer ignoring trauma, I’m actively connected with m…
