It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to write. Admittedly, I’ve been struggling with my mental health since last summer as our family faces some difficult changes. With everything going on in the world right now, I’m becoming utterly drained both mentally and emotionally. I’m sure most of us are. There is so much … Continue reading COVID-19: Are We Forgetting Who We Are?
This week I felt compelled to get really personal with my readers. If I want you to feel connected and genuinely gain something from the words I write, transparency is a must. You guys, marriage sucks sometimes! My marriage sucks sometimes! My husband and I have been struggling lately, and if I'm honest, it is … Continue reading Yes, Marriage Sucks Sometimes
It’s a tale as old as time, women judging women, mothers shaming mothers, people telling other people what to do with their bodies and lives. Lately, I have become better at blowing off rude comments or harsh criticism from others. As the great Rachel Hollis said in Girl, Wash Your Face, “Someone else's opinion of … Continue reading Leave My Breasts Alone
I have been all shapes and sizes throughout my life. As a teen, I was very tall and thin. I could down a large pizza by myself and not gain a pound. Despite having the “ideal” body type, I was constantly picked on and shamed for being too skinny. I was constantly called flat chested … Continue reading I Won’t Be Ashamed Of My Body Because You Are
Introduction: "Someday I'm Going To Miss This" is a piece I wrote after I had my twins and it's one I go back to when I'm having an extremely stressful day. Raising children can be really difficult at times. Often we find ourselves wishing away the hard years. This is a good reminder to stop and … Continue reading Someday, I’m Going To Miss This
After giving birth, 1 in 7 women suffer from postpartum depression, yet women are still afraid to talk about it. I believe that largely has to do with the constant judgment we face as mothers. Why would we want to admit that we’re having a hard time with the one thing society expects us to … Continue reading To The Women Struggling With Postpartum Depression: I’m With You
Recently I was accused of being selfish. Mind you, this accusation came from people who don’t even know me. They were judging me because I shared a story about how I left a man who I was completely incompatible with, a relationship that was filled with tension and sadness. I am not going to breathe … Continue reading I’m Selfish, So What?
Today, I am flying to Destin to surprise my best friend for her 35th birthday! I would be lying if I didn’t admit that selfishly I also just really needed a break from reality for a few days. What better way to recharge and get some mental clarity than to spend a few days with … Continue reading Motherhood Doesn’t Have To Be A Prison Sentence
From a young age, I had this burning desire to make something of myself, help people, make a difference. Fiercely independent and excited for the future, I knew I was meant to do big things. Growing up in a small town, my heart was screaming for something more. The world was going to know my name. … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid Of Taking Detours
I did a fair bit of dating in my 20s and had a few significant relationships within that time. Most of those relationships ended in someone trampling over my heart, and in all honesty, I should have seen it coming. I married my high school sweetheart at 18 and we became pregnant shortly after.
