  • You Are Not Alone

    Dear Spoonie Sisters,

    Someone is always out there, but you must talk openly about what’s happening.  I didn’t. That is where my story begins.

    Anxiety attacks, depression, endometriosis, RA, and Pustular psoriasis. Who did I turn to?  No one, or the wrong one.  I didn’t feel safe. I felt like no one had my back, no one was my  ‘rock’; that’s my WHY.  WHY I am here doing what’s driven by my heart, to serve others and encourage the path of community among us all.

    “Meet me in a place where

    I’m a person —- not a problem

    to be solved.”

    -Author Unknown

    Remember this...you, sister, are not alone.

  • Amy's Anxiety Story

    Amy, the face behind https://www.instagram.com/alignedamy/

    "For the past 30 yrs #anxiety has ran my life. My husband's diagnosis of #ulcerativecolitis, which lead to a #permanentileostomy, and most recently #crohnsdisease sent my anxiety into overdrive. My passion in life is helping other women know that they are never alone and they are enough, right now, exactly as they are."

    "My toolbox is filled to the brim with tools I use daily to help manage my anxiety. I have learned over the past several years how important self-love and acceptance are to the healing process and will continue to advocate daily for mental health."
