I'm dealing hope by sharing stories & tips on caregiving and how to survive hard things.

hey there,

Ask me to describe myself and I've got four different answers.

Ask me to describe myself and I've got four different answers. I am:


a mom (a good one, at that) and a caregiver by nature

a driven, professional woman who gets things done

still the fearless 17yo version of myself who has big dreams

scared shitless 

We've got this.

Life can be HARD. But full of joy too. My life has been full of ups and downs, but I'm surviving. Let me help you build bridges to avoid the pitfalls so your journey can be smoother than mine has been.

I need to be clear about something. I keep talking about having a hard life. And it is. But I know there are people suffering everyday, with challenges far greater than mine.
Make no mistake, I practice gratitude everyday for the blessings that I have. All pain is the same. It all hurts.

However.
I also know that it's not about the pain itself, but it's about the choices we make in how we handle it. It's about our mindset. it's about the journey.

i hope you'll stick around on this journey so we can work through some tough stuff together.
