Sometimes I get told that I’m pretty much the last stop that my clients make. They come to me exhausted, disappointed, frustrated and basically tapped out. Western medicine has all but failed them and they are left feeling ‘blah’ from a bunch of prescriptions and no light at the end of the tunnel. I’m really o.k. with being the last stop because you always find what you’re looking for in the last place you look. Let’s get you feeling better, Naturally! Whether I’m the first place you’ve stopped at or the last place you will ever need I am completely stoked to help you not only feel better faster, but also really uncover why you felt that way in the first place. While we can’t change what you have endured in the past, we can work together to better comprehend and settle the challenges you face today. It’s time to stop holding back on your life and start moving forward, naturally!

Post-holiday clarity hits different when you’re hydrated, un-medicated, and over-educated.
My brain after the holidays:
“Did we rest? No.
Did we regulate? Also no.
Did we feed it? Yes, but emotionally.”
Between the sugar spikes, the cortisol hikes, and explaining iatrogenic harm at the family dinner table…
I’d say we survived.
Glow: restored
Boundaries: reinforced
Libido: on point
Blood pressure: side-eyeing me
Water intake: suddenly a personality trait
Reinvention continues.
The Gulf sunsets are calling.
Crochet club resumes soon.
2026 is coming and the mic is still flaming.

Gen X, It’s Time to Take Charge of Your Health

We’ve spent decades grinding, taking care of everyone else, and pushing through exhaustion. But here’s the hard truth—our generation is facing a crisis of burnout, chronic stress, and overmedication.

Psych meds have their place, but they were never meant to be the only solution. Healing doesn’t come from a prescription alone—it comes from taking radical ownership of our physical, mental, and emotional health.

It’s time to:
✅ Support our nervous system—nutrition, movement, and stress management matter.
✅ Question the long-term impact of medications and work toward sustainable well-being.
✅ Prioritize connection, self-care, and real solutions instead of numbing and pushing through.

No one is coming to save us. The time is NOW. Let’s start doing the work. 💪

The real story of a psych med taper isn’t the taper plan.
It’s the psychology.
Plans matter. Half-lives matter. Dose math matters.
But the thing that determines whether someone makes it through?
Their beliefs, fear, expectations, self-trust, and nervous system state.
A taper is a brain + body process.
Withdrawal is real biology.
But biology responds to the mind that holds it.
If you don’t address the psychology, you’re not tapering the person —
you’re tapering a spreadsheet.
And the hardest symptoms people carry aren’t always chemical —
they’re cognitive:
“I can’t do this.”
“Something is wrong with me.”
“I’m losing control.”
“I’ll never feel normal again.”
Those thoughts become physical signals.
The brain treats fear like fact.
The body reacts like it’s under threat.
So yes — give me your taper plan.
But don’t forget the real headline:
The mind leads. The dose follows.
Psychology and biology are friends.
Ignoring either harms both.
If you’re tapering — get informed, get supported, get regulated.
Because this isn’t just deprescribing.
It’s de-programming fear and reclaiming self.

It took me some time to understand this:
A mental health diagnosis is not a root cause.
And meds don’t heal — they often keep you stuck in the very cycle you’re trying to escape.
Biology and psychology aren’t enemies — they’re friends.
True healing happens when we treat the brain, body, nervous system, and story, not just the symptoms.
If you’ve felt trapped in a system that hands you labels faster than solutions, I see you.
There is a way forward that restores clarity, resilience, and connection from the inside out.
Your brain deserves more than “stuck.” It deserves love.

If the truth scares you, maybe it’s because you were never given it in the first place.

If the information I share about psychiatric medications feels scary, that’s not because the facts are dangerous—it’s because full informed consent was never given.

What I’m sharing isn’t hidden. It’s in the medication inserts. It’s in peer-reviewed research. It’s a quick search away on Google Scholar or PubMed.

This is the information you should have had before making life-changing decisions.

So if it hits hard now, ask yourself:
Why wasn’t I told this?
Why didn’t I get curious?

The truth isn’t dangerous. Being kept in the dark—and staying there—is.

Oatmeal for Better Sleep: A Surprising Bedtime Ally

When we think of bedtime snacks, a warm bowl of oatmeal might not be the first thing that comes to mind—but it should be! Here’s why oatmeal can be a great addition to your nighttime routine:

🌙 Rich in Melatonin & Serotonin Precursors – Oats contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps produce serotonin, which then converts into melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep.

🍽 Complex Carbs for Steady Blood Sugar – The slow-digesting carbohydrates in oats help maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing nighttime wake-ups due to blood sugar crashes.

💤 Magnesium & B Vitamins for Relaxation – Oatmeal is a natural source of magnesium and B6, both of which support relaxation and reduce stress, helping you wind down.

🛏 Promotes Comfort & Warmth – A cozy bowl of oatmeal before bed can create a soothing, calming effect, making it easier to fall asleep.

Pro tip: Enhance your oatmeal by adding sleep-supporting toppings like walnuts, almonds, bananas, or a drizzle of honey!

Have you tried oatmeal as a bedtime snack? Let me know what works for you!

This year has been a big reminder that it’s my turn.
As an empty nester, it’s time to reclaim what was poured out for decades—my energy, my voice, my brain, my peace.
Reinvention isn’t a crisis. It’s a long-overdue homecoming.
My turn looks a lot like reclaiming… and I’m here for it.”
If you’re in your own Empty Nester Era, reinvention, or reclamation season:

I said yes to Mad in America because I’m tired of pretending the system works.

We’re drugging pain, pathologizing normal responses, and calling it care.
We talked about what no one wants to say out loud—and why it matters.

This isn’t your feel-good mental health story.
It’s the one that might p**s you off. Or wake you up. Maybe both.

Listen here: www.madinamerica.com
Proceed with curiosity—and a little fire.

The holidays are a season of remembering… and becoming.
Some changes arrive wrapped in ribbons.
Others arrive wrapped in resilience you built quietly over years.
Healing isn’t loud, linear, or aesthetic.
It’s a thousand tiny shifts that finally feel like you again.
If you’re evolving this season — you’re not losing the plot.
You’re living the lyric.
Feed your brain. Rest your system. Protect your peace.
Change is coming because you’ve been changing.
