“Oh you’re a therapist? Can you diagnose me? Can you help me with this problem?” Sure, I probably can but you probably won’t like what I have to say. When I am not at work and people ask me these ridiculous questions I laugh because I’ll just tell them how it is. I won’t guide…

Will I Ever Fit In?
What to do When Making Mom Friends Isn’t Easy Have you ever noticed how making friends as a mom can sometimes make us feel like we’re standing in a middle school lunchroom looking for someone – anyone – to notice us, accept us, and love us? Funnily enough, it can feel almost identical. In truth,…
I Was Tested for Covid. Here’s What Happened.
I’ve been taking most of the suggested precautions regarding COVID since they were established months and months ago. I had very little time home from work through all this.

Letting Go of Judgement & Expectations
Have you seen those pandemic memes? Not the funny ones about homeschooling your children, or about how couples might end up divorced after being together 24/7, but the ones that “inspire” us to become better during this quarantine. They are “to-do” lists, like reading a book you haven’t been able to read in 5 years,…
The Grief & Anger that comes with Mother’s Day
Why hello my least favorite Hallmark holiday. I don’t like Mother’s Day. This is two fold. Stick with me, it will be worth it. My mom died a little over 13 years ago. You would think it would get easier. Newsflash. It doesn’t. The person who gave me life isn’t even here so I can…
I’ll Never be an Instagram Sensation & I’m Okay with that
