I made an appointment with my therapist

after having not gone for a couple of months (hey, your girl here is pretty healed!). But, life has become so much and I’ve been trying to cope on my own, but realized it would be nice to lean on professional support during this time.

I had a miscarriage and it sent me to the ER (twice)

Today is Mother’s Day. And today is 4 weeks, a month, since I had my miscarriage. My very traumatic miscarriage. So, let’s talk about it. Finishing the experience from Part 1, here we go.

I haven’t posted in a minute (again)

so hey! It’s that time of year where I’m extremely busy with coaching (yeah, working 14 hour days, 5-6 days a week) so I haven’t had time for much else. I love it but lately I’ve been thinking about the future and wanting a life of balance, where I have more time for myself andContinue reading “I haven’t posted in a minute (again)”
