The phrase of week coined by my therapist. With all that is happening around me, those words are that much more important. Unfortunately, following a slew of anxiety-provoking events, I find myself clamming up. It’s been consistently growing more difficult to remain vulnerable around others. I really want to stay to myself. However, I know

If you know me personally, you know that I am very much so a straight shooter. I tell it like it is. It gets me in trouble, especially when my filter is completely removed. However, in my experience, beating around the bush doesn’t get you anywhere. You just end up chasing your tail in circles.

Without disclosing too much, I’m dealing with a situation at work that’s ramping up my anxiety. It’s been dragging for somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks. The best part? Nobody had any information about what’s going on. I don’t know what I’m being accused of. I don’t know what my job is investigating. They haven’t

Go. Go. Go. That’s been my motto for 2025. Seldom do I get a moment to myself. Since the start of the year, it feels like every waking moment is dedicated to helping everyone else. Overall, I’m fine with that. I love helping other people. However, it comes with a cost. As a result, I’ve

Two weeks ago, I examined my financial situation. For some reason, it kept feeling tighter and tighter. I found a few spots where I can cut back. I also noticed that my numbers were steadily going up, but it wasn’t quite enough yet. With that being said, I needed to make a move. Now, I

Everyone around me has been getting sick and not with the same ailments. It started with a few clients complaining about a stomach bug that hit them hard. Throwing up, sharp stomach pain, and fatigue that lasted for 3-5 days. Ew. Friends of mine getting hit with an upper respiratory virus that lingered for weeks.
