Every day, I soak in how much life has changed since having Bryan in my life. She's my little sidekick, my confidante, an incredibly cute wellness reminder who follows me around.

Her lighthearted outlook on life is infectious. And I’m determined to ensure she has the best life possible….

Mending

Art therapy sesh piece.

Trying to understand why I’ve been in a trauma / depressive state the last few weeks. It’s been a rough go.

I spoke about this conflict of knowing intellectually that slowing down and doing nourishing things are good for me.

Reintegration

For some reason, we're taught to segment our Selves into boxes: work, home, friend, daughter, online, in-person, etc.

Burn-Out

Whoof! The last two weeks have been a rough go. I’ve been pushing hard with my entrepreneur ideas and likely burnt myself out pretty hard.
