You woke up today. Let me say that again. You. Woke. Up. Today. What an incredible blessing it is just to be breathing—to be alive. So many times in life we allow the pressures of the world to sit on our shoulders, causing our teeth to grind and worries to begin piling up within our

Happy Thursday, friend! I wanted to send out a reminder that hard work isn’t scary. But not doing the hard work is very, very scary.

Something I’ve been pondering as I’ve triggered multiple people on Instagram lately is the current societal norm to pick something apart into so many little pieces that the big picture is impossible for them to see—like a puzzle deconstructed.

Let’s talk about this current trend to label adults with ADHD… I get how easy it is to fall into this cult-like obsession with the label. We all want to be seen, to be understood, to feel part of something and the symptoms that are associated with this label are ones many people have—not because

Happy Thursday! Here is part 2 of my story: So began my quest for the truth. And maybe that’s where you are right now. This shedding of lies that has been wrapped around us to make us believe we were safer ‘trusting the experts’ than trusting our own intuition. That the doubts, both spoken and
