Grounding Cauliflower Apple Soup

The Panic is Never the Worst Part
Anxiety. We talk about it here. I had a panic attack yesterday. My body misinterprets any signal of distress as impending death. *rolls eyes* Yes, it’s so annoying.

Hello all you wonderful people! I decided to try something a little different today in my blog post – a video! Yup, this is me! I think subconsciously the goal was to see how many times I could say “Super Excited” in one video (Hey, I can laugh at myself!). Honestly though, I’m feeling…

I need space to share my story.
I am an open book. You don’t have to guess with me. If I’m sad, you’ll see it. If I’m happy, I show it. If I’m angry, oh gosh you’ll know it. If something important happens in my life, the people in my life always hear about it. But I’ve been noticing a trend lately,…
