If you follow today’s celebrities to any extent, you likely heard about the rise and fall of pop star Demi Lovato following her struggles with substance abuse. She recently teamed up with DJ Marshmello to release a song I fell in love with. The combination of her powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics, and Marshmello’s rhythmic undertone…

I am disappointed in myself. I keep putting off my blog posts and going WEEKS at a time without posting. I can explain. Burnout. Not the fun kind of burnout. Nothing like the one you do in a fancy sports car. I mean the one where life sucks the energy out of you, leaving behind…

To say the least, today’s world is out of control. 2020 = complete and utter chaos. We have all felt its effects by this point. To add to the craziness, yours truly decided to start two new part-time jobs on top of my full-time one. Each week I talk to a health guide who was…

I simply felt unnerved. I was just on edge. My sleep schedule turned erratic either staring at the ceiling unable to fall asleep or waking up at odd hours in the early morning. When talking to friends, the conversation lacked depth. My outward emotion was incongruent with my inner turmoil. My feeling felt detached from…

When I started this blog a few years back, self-care tips strategies served as the primary focus. From time to time however, I threw my own well-being journey in there as well. My site evolved from a self-help site to sometimes acting as a public diary. I pour my heart out on here discussing a…

I apologize in advance for not posting over the last few weeks. Yours truly took a little bit of a hiatus from blogging and for good reason. Allow me to explain. I felt like I was in a good enough place to finally confront my demons. A plethora of factors played into this. For me,…
