Sometimes, I feel like I’m an old woman in a mid-twenty body. The amount of muscle aches and joint cracks that I have throughout the day just doesn’t seem right. Years of sports, dancing, and studying with poor posture makes the chiropractor a must for me. Recently, though, I got a deep tissue massage toContinue reading “I Got a Deep Tissue Massage for Pain.

The 5 Best Ways to Support Friends with Mental Illness
At a recent therapy session I was asked, “Who do you have in your corner? Who can you count on to always support you?” I was overwhelmed by this question.

Knowing that having a dedicated support system is something that someContinue reading “The 5 Best Ways to Support Friends with Mental Illness”
Normalizing The Jobs We Love
I’ve spent way too much time trying to describe what I do to people who don’t really care either way. That’s not supposed to be self-deprecating or a slight to me at all. Truly, it doesn’t matter what the day-to-day tasks of a “PR Strategist” are in the grand scheme of their lives; yet, IContinue reading “Normalizing The Jobs We Love”
Not Your Barbie Girl
Recently, my roommate said something that I absolutely loved. “A lot of people that we look up to as ‘role models’ never asked for that.

A Life Lesson from the Kentucky Derby
I’ll be honest. I don’t really follow the Kentucky Derby, nor do I really feel the need to gamble on that. I mean, how do we really know the horse just isn’t having a bad mental health day? What if they don’t want to run? Alright, I kid. You guys get the point though. ThisContinue reading “A Life Lesson from the Kentucky Derby”
Don’t Pop My Bubble!
2021 has been the year of the boundary. Well, it’s been a work in progress, but that’s the overarching goal of this year. Last year, everyone was put through the ringer when the world practically stopped turning overnight. Everyone is still wading into “real life” that it’s hard to have goals, be productive, and setContinue reading “Don’t Pop My Bubble!”
Sunlight’s Effects on Mental Health
The sun has been shining in Wisconsin for the last week or so and I have been in a really good mood. Not only that, but I’ve been full of energy, ready to work, and productive when I’m awake! There is snow still piled up outside and it hasn’t passed the 40 degree Farenheit mark,Continue reading “Sunlight’s Effects on Mental Health”
Who Am I? Journaling Idea!
Who am I? I could get specific and spout of my ancestry or where my distant relatives came from. I might even divulge that sulfa-based medication gives me hives. Give me a couple drinks and I just might whisper some secrets. But, who AM I? I mean, who am I really in the grand schemeContinue reading “Who Am I? Journaling Idea!”
