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.

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...
Being an entrepreneur, your to-do list can seem never-ending. When it is time to turn your laptop off, finish that last email, and finally rest for leisure time, it is essential to first unplug mentally. Before starting your self-care routine and leisure time, you must first get in the headspace that you accomplished all that you set out...
Anxiety and stress are no fun at all. I’m sure we have all heard the phrase “It’s all in your head, calm down” or “Don’t worry so much” when we tell someone we are feeling anxious or uneasy about something.

How accurate is this meme? I'm sure most of us have had that exact same look like Lisa Simpson way too many times. I will start something, look at my phone, or go do something else entirely.
