  • I Don’t Love Being A Boss

    I’m naturally a leader. I always have been. I’m naturally always being called to the front, even when I want to stay in the back. People see things in me, or things come easily for me that others have to learn. It is true that some people are born leaders. Yet, I don’t enjoy it.…

  • I Couldn’t Even Enjoy a Pedicure

    I was never one of those girls who liked getting her nails done. It had nothing to do with money or even trying to be different, I didn’t like sitting in one place for more than an hour. The frustration of it was that it never seemed to finish fast enough. The chairs were never…

  • Life is What You Make It

    It’s the beginning of the year, and if we’re anything alike, we feel the excitement of the possibility of new. I think about all the places I want to go and the person I want to show up as. There’s something incredibly empowering about getting older. You have all the same feelings as when young,…

  • Giving Myself A Fighting Chance

    2023 has been a tough year for me. It isn’t until I sit in stillness, TV off, radio mute, not flowing with music, phone down that I feel every ache and breath in my body. This whole year felt like I was waiting for something. I’d run through the checklist of my life, good job,…

  • Is My Life A Little Too Peaceful?

    This is exactly what I planned for. I worked on my mental health, my inner peace, I crafted a life that would allow me to have peace and flexibility. I really just have to worry about myself. I can buy myself what I want. I can travel if I wanted to, and yet, sometimes I…

  • Should I Apologize to the Narcissist?

    Let me be the example of what happens when you break no contact. I do not recommend it. I’ve done it twice now, responding to the hoovers. The first time, I was unaffected, the second time, I was triggered. The narcissist reached out to me in July of last year and it was like waking…

  • Finally Free

    Do you ever have plans but feel God is calling you towards different, or the opposite of what you want to do? That was me all 2022. I started the year with a list of plans. I was going to be the most productive I’d ever been, the most relaxed I’d ever been because I…

  • The Constant Fear of Inadequacy

    No matter how much you accomplish, if you struggle with inadequacy, it never leaves you. When I look back on my life, I’ve done 80% of what I said I wanted to do before the age of 25, yet, there is this annoying feeling that there is more to me than what my life is…

  • I Am Not Good At Choosing Friends

    It was two years ago when I was just starting therapy and I sat on the green couch. I was sharing how I had poor quality friendships. Fresh out of a breakup, I was questioning my entire life. My ex was my magnum opus, but my choice of bad people started way before the relationship.…

  • Why Am I So Unlikable?

    Yesterday I had a tough moment. After a heated argument with a friend, my mood had been affected all day. I don’t like conflict, it can be traumatic. This conversation was so bad, I asked God, “Why am I so unlikable?” My life hasn’t been the easiest when it comes to relationships. This is due…
