I truly can't believe that this month was when I officially got diagnosed with PMDD two years ago. It has been a struggle since I got my period the night before my 10th birthday. Since my official diagnosis, I have been doing all I can to help myself and others with PMDD. It is a daily battle and...

I am sure we have all been told "you need to have boundaries." So.. what exactly are boundaries? Boundaries are defined as the practice of openly communicating and asserting personal values. Boundaries can be emotional, physical, or even digital. They are extremely important to have in relationships. If you know your boundaries before entering a situation, it can...

Have you ever heard the saying:" My anxieties have anxieties."(I swear this is the story of my life) For many people like myself, this is something that can affect your mood, confidence, relationships, self-view, and life in general really on a daily basis. So.. what exactly is over-thinking? Well.. it is simply what the name suggests... Thinking too...

Unfourtanetly, I am sure we have all had to deal with some type of traumatic loss in our lives. Whether it is the breakup of a friendship, relationship, pet, a job, or someone in our family passes away. It is a sad and unavoidable part of life. So.. what exactly is grief? Grief is the response to the...

I didn’t think motherhood would be this hard. This motherhood thing doesn’t come with an instruction manual (I wish it did lol.) No one ever warned me how my sleeping days, shower days, and peaceful days would all be over, or just how overwhelming this would be. At first, we’re so excited about having a baby and as...

I’ve been on my own journey to healing from PMDD for most of my life. I know what it’s like to feel crippled by the physical and emotional symptoms of this condition. I also know what it’s like to spend a lifetime searching for relief. I did it for thirty years. I never thought I’d make it this...

     As women, we deal with a lot. Juggling school, careers, kids, relationships, friendships, our mental health, etc. Then there is our monthly cycle, aka the monster that comes out of the closet periodically to let you know they are still around. Some women can have mild menstrual pain and PMS (I envy them) Unfortunately, for 1...

Have you prioritized yourself recently? Think about the last time you may have said no to plans because you needed more rest or felt stressed that you took a day to do things that helped you recharge. When was the last time you did that? I ask myself this often whenever I feel unmotivated, exhausted, and unable to...

Being an independent person is a beautiful thing. One moment, “Hey Alexa, play independent women by Destiny's child”. This is a trait that I have always worn with pride. I would hold myself to such high regard because I could do any and everything on my own, a superwoman if you will. Invariably taking on everything that comes...

  There’s this saying “Love is blind”. I never knew what that meant until I went through it myself. As women, we tend to love hard and believe we must settle for anything or anyone. Growing up in a household full of love from my parents, I always wanted to experience that kind of love. Back in the...
