A thank you to my sister
I can't actually describe how much my sister means to me. She's my best friend and has my back no matter what. She also suffers from depression and anxiety. And I would do anything to take the pain of dealing with both away from her. I'd never wish anxiety or depression on anyone and so... Continue Reading →
Coaching changed my life!
5 years ago, my life changed. I was in my final year of college and was struggling with many aspects of my life. I had no clue who I wanted to be and felt there was something missing in my life. But I had no clue what it was. A good family friend invited my... Continue Reading →
Thoughts I can’t escape
Thoughts I'm having trouble with today... Today, I've had one of the worst migraines I've ever had. Which has caused me to hide in the dark and sleep most of the day away. I had to back out of dinner plans I made with a very awesome group of friends. And now I can't help... Continue Reading →
Trying to explain my anxiety
I'm often asked what it's like to have anxiety...well where do I begin...? You know that feeling you get when you're in an elevator and it's moving and then it stops and your stomach jumps.

Weighted blanket love
A little over a year ago, my mom introduced me to the idea of weighted blankets. I've always struggled with sleeping, because my mind just doesn't stop. And I can think of every possible situation I may or may not face at any point in my future. My mom quickly found a local company that... Continue Reading →
A girl and her dog.
After a very long and emotional day all I wanted to do was sleep. But my mind had other plans. Lexi also had other plans...she wouldn't leave me alone. I was all set for a great nights sleep. I had my pillow and weighted blanket. I put lavender oil in my diffuser and I was... Continue Reading →
Anxiety beat me today.
I hate anxiety. I was greeted with it this morning and I couldn't fight it today. Next thing I knew I had tears streaming down my face, and was shaking. My breathing had quickened and my heart was beating so fast. It had been the first attack I've had in a few months and it completely... Continue Reading →
A dog’s love.
My family got Lexi in 2013 and my life hasn't been the same since. She's our squirrel chasing, carrot loving, snowplow hating dog. Since she was a puppy, she has always known when I need her the most. She will whine at my bedroom door until I let her in. I swear it's her super... Continue Reading →
