Take Care of You First
There will always be work to do. Take care of you first.

This week, I was inspired to write about checking in with yourself after reading Ivy’s blog about checking in with others. Her blog post resonated with me so much this week. On the day it came out, my partner talked to me about a lot of things he’d been wanting to share but didn’t know […]

You Will Find Yourself Again
Since my mom’s diagnosis of cancer, I always felt like I had lost pieces of myself. Since she passed away, I know for sure I have lost pieces of myself. I feel less motivated, I feel less joy, less excitement, and less gratitude for life itself. This journey has been a confusing one for me. […]
