Therefore...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling... Philippians 2:12 When I first started blogging, writing, and working in mental health, I was very open about my faith and incorporating my faith in what I do. In the past year, I've been a little more quiet about it. Not because I don't have … Continue reading Connecting with Moms in their Reconstruction Journey
Recently, I shared a video in my group and on my socials talking about how I’m not planning to focus solely on chronically ill moms. The fact is, focusing on that kind of content was impacting me and my ability to work more fully with the moms I wanted to work with. I don’t want … Continue reading Shifting Focus & Honing My Message: Moving Away from Only Chronic Illness Content
We live in a world that is constantly telling us that we have to prove ourselves. Prove our worth. Prove we know what we’re doing.

The irony here is the biggest roles we will play in this life:SpousesChildrenParentsFriendsCoworkersEmployees These … Continue reading When Knowing Our Value Becomes a Boundary
Honestly, I’ve been pretty quiet around here the last 6-9 months. We made a big cross-country move, and I was trying to adjust.

It has honestly become toxic to our already struggling … Continue reading Leaving Mommy-Hustle Culture Behind
The last couple months have been extremely difficult around here. Some might know I’ve been trying to figure out my diagnosis (right now it’s Fibromyalgia, but we haven’t completely ruled out everything else yet). The last few months, everything has kind of come to a head, and I really want to share my story so … Continue reading An Update: Chronic Illness treatment, medication withdrawal, medical gaslighting, and choosing the right team
Let me tell you, I have an amazing mom. Like, one of the best in the entire world. I also have a Masters in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family therapy focusing on kids and teens. Yet, even with all of this - great example and great education, there is just a … Continue reading Things I Wasn’t Really Prepared for as a Mom
Being a mom is hard enough. Running a business is hard enough. Dealing with chronic illness is hard enough. I am managing to do all three - I’m convinced only by the grace of God - and I’m doing things to help myself stay mostly sane during these crazy toddler days. When I was a … Continue reading How I Stay (Mostly) Sane as a Work From Home Mom with Chronic Illness
It can be hard feeling successful when life is determined by so many factors. When we begin comparing ourselves with others, there are so many ways we can fall short. The fact is, though, that success looks different for each of us. Success in every area looks different. So, even though so many “gurus” out … Continue reading What You Don’t Need to be Successful
If you’ve been here before, you know this is a place for community. It’s the whole drive behind this blog, the membership, and basically every social media presence I have. And, while I have found some great community and connection along the way, I’ve also noticed some gate-keeping - a lot of gate keeping actually. … Continue reading COMMUNITY, CONNECTION, & GATE KEEPING – IN MOTHERHOOD & CHRONIC ILLNESS
