Four generations of strong women. My Nana use to have a sign in her house that said strong women raise strong women who raise strong women. I’m thankful for her strength- so much of her I see in my mom, now in myself and in my daughter who may turn out to be fieriest of them all.

The stories behind each of us are stories of great love & strength. Happy women’s day

Surprise- we are headed back to Florence! What a wild year it has been but we are trusting in Gods plan for our little fam & are excited to be back!

Living in my hometown has been the sweetest season- although shorter than we intended- it has been full of so many blessings. The biggest blessing was day to day small little things with my parents & brother/SIL - I will miss this so much. The last minute dinners. The just running the kids by to say hey. Feeling so grateful for this time. Our old friends & new friends & kids AMAZING school that we will miss so much (I’ve tried to convince her to open a Florence location- i could write a whole post on the daycare alone). This move is bittersweet again

But we’re excited to get back to what was home for 5 years and continue to raise our kiddos in a community we also love. Here’s to the next adventure & trusting in Gods plan

Long post….If y’all have ever sat in one of my lectures (ex-professor for those who don’t know) or talked to me about my birth experience you know that i had terrible Postpartum Anxiety that lead to Postpartum depression. It went untreated for months and truly made me feel like I could crawl out of my own skin at times. I went untreated for almost 8 months PP & suffered in silence except for my family & few close friends who knew how bad i was struggling. It affected relationships more than i wish to admit- some have been mended & some have not. I don’t wish it upon anyone but it also made me realize:
1) I likely had undiagnosed anxiety the majority of my life. When a provider asked me If I was my own patient would I have started me on medication and my answer was - years ago!- without even pausing I had a lightbulb moment. I was hiding from a stigma I was fighting so hard to break for my patients.
2) how thankful I was that I had the tools to do a lot of self talk to realize what was reality vs what was not. Intrusive thoughts aren’t reality. I was able to ground myself. But for the first time I could see how anxiety could really grasp ahold of someone and not let go.
3) anxiety and depression “looks” different on everyone but I wasn’t going to be quiet about it because maybe me being open would help someone else.
4) we need to talk about it more. We need to check on our friends. Our colleagues. Heck even strangers and remind them they are loved. They are supported. They are seen .

Today is World Mental Health Day!

World Mental Health Day is an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma.

I envision a world in which mental health is valued, promoted and protected; where everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy mental health and to exercise their human rights; and where everyone can access the mental health care they need.

1. It’s okay to not be okay
2. Whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone!

If you’re washing your face w/ a bar of soap (or not washing it at all)…we need to have a chat…it doesn’t have to be complicated but to get the skin you want- you’re going to have to put in a little work
