  • Episode 139: Anxiety & Home Renovations
    As of today (when this Episode airs), my kitchen remodel begins. This has been a long time coming, something that I have been wanting to do since we first bought this house almost 8 years ago. As exciting as this time is, it’s also very Anxiety inducing for me. I’m scared I won’t like it, I’m scared of how long it’ll take, what are we going to eat while we don’t have a kitchen, how am I suppose to entertain my children in the bedrooms. I also feel that I have extremely high hopes, hoping that this will help me deal a bit better with my Social Anxiety, having a place that I feel comfortable entertaining guests (something that I have been praying about.) Take a listen as I process through my head that this day has finally come and what is running through my mind before the kitchen renovation.

  • Episode 138: Discharged From Therapy

    After 10 months of Therapy, I am officially discharged.

    I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to have been able to go to therapy and everything I learned along the way.

    In July 2021, I was crying on my restroom floor looking trying to figure out the answers to things I just couldn't quite get over or wrap my head around. I prayed for answers, prayed for anything that could take away the pain I was feeling in that moment and all I remember was hearing, "Go to therapy."

    The next day I made a phone call and within 2 weeks, I had my first appointment and what a true blessing it was.


    Take a listen as I talk about my biggest takeaways from Therapy this time around after trying it again after attempting therapy almost 10 years prior and completely failing because I wasn't emotionally mature enough to handle it.

Take a listen as I give my insight on videos I see all over my Instagram that just make me wonder, “What happens when or if your children see them?”
