How to Help Your Kid Cope with Quarantine
With my last few posts, it’s clear I don’t have to stress the overwhelming nature of this pandemic and quarantine is causing; however, there is one more population that is also dealing with the pandemic, and that is our beautiful babies.

Be Kind. Don’t Share that Post.
Please. For the sake of those you love and care about who get triggered by violence, do not share videos of brutal violence and death.

So, a lot has happened in the last 12 weeks or so, things that have made my begin a transition into a new chapter in my life that I am so excited for. It also taught me a valuable lesson about myself. So, in April, due to my own personal mental health, I took a…
“You Don’t Look Sick” – Why You Should Stop Saying This
A few weeks ago, I went to the doctor to discuss an extension on medical leave that I had. I had a conversation with him about what I was experiencing in relation to my depression and anxiety. During the conversation, he made a statement to me that sort of bothered me. He said “you don’t…
