“It’s OK to need help again.”
I loved this conversation with Sarah Blanchette of Home Base. ❤️
Sarah served in the Air Force, came through Home Base’s Intensive Clinical Program, and this year stood in front of more than 3,000 people at the Run to Home Base as our keynote testimonial speaker~ sharing her own story of what it took to ask for help.
And one part of that story I think is SO important to talk about: asking for help again.
When life got really hard, Sarah reached back out to Home Base.
Not because the program didn’t work. Not because she failed. Because sometimes we need to go back into that toolbox and use what we’ve learned~ and sometimes we need someone there with us again.
Home Base was there.
And Sarah’s story has another pretty amazing chapter now~ she joined the Home Base team in Southwest Florida this past December (!!), helping serve fellow veterans in the community that once served her.
Sarah, I’m so happy to know you. Thank you for standing up in front of thousands of people + telling the truth about something that I know others need to hear. ❤️🇺🇸
And Florida friends~ Home Base serves veterans and military families across Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero + Port Charlotte. @homebaseprogram

“Playing lollapalooza this year was such a full circle moment for me. The first time I played it was 2009 and it was the same month Tik Tok came out, and was the first time l'd played for more than about 10 people. This time, it was the first time I'd played my first single as an independent artist at a festival! We're at the beginning of a whole new chaotic chapter. get in losers 💕”
Kesha on her freedom:
“I feel so—I feel like a little kid on, like, Christmas morning. That’s kind of how I feel. I don’t know what I’m about to unwrap for myself but, like, I’m excited to close the door on a very painful chapter and I feel like I’m finally in the new chapter that I’ve been waiting for for a really long time.”
Kesha on “Hate Me Harder”:
Oh my god! It’s fun! I feel like a bad bitch. Because I’ve been through so much at this point. I’m fucking bulletproof! Like, all the petty shit that used to really affect me is laughable now. And I feel like that’s a really powerful place to be in. I feel really strong, I feel really connected and I feel like a force to be reckoned with right now.
