Who am I?

Growing up in a chaotic home under the care of social workers and a care system that ultimately couldn't keep me safe, I was determined to prove that something was not right. At eighteen I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and not wanting to go on medications I began to take it upon myself to solve my own medical mystery. There must be a reason I am feeling all this, right?

 

Despite being told it was impossible, I would do everything I could to heal myself from the inside out. 

​

Today, they call this CPTSD, which to me was an explanation for yet another mental health diagnosis that required high masking to continue to pretend like I could function normally.

​

Well, these masks and roles are exhausting to keep up. Time to shed the mask.

​

Since then, I've been on a mission to out my deepest fears and to move out of surviving and into thriving.

​

How do I do this? 

With authentic vulnerability. Growing up with abuse and neglect from a young age, I've gained a lens into how impossible it can feel to function (pretend) like a "normal" person.

​

I am on a quest to normalize the fact that we are all on a journey. Not to pretend there is a completed version of myself awaiting a big reveal. Trust me I've searched desperately for her. Why not start right here and now, and say that is enough. The journey matters.
