This weekend was a peaceful one for me. Lately I’ve been super overwhelmed and feel like my life has been turned upside down for the past 2-3 months. I have this idea that since I know about emotional regulation and self care that life will somehow be easier for me? Turns out it’s not! Like …
I did a branding photo shoot for the first time! I can’t tell you how many new things I’ve done since I started my business, some that I didn’t even realize were a thing! This photo shoot was a fun new thing for sure. I learned so much doing this! I learned how much work …
My family, like many others, got sick and ended up in quarantine. It just so happened that when my kids were able to get back on track, the school went into remote learning for two weeks. My kids had been stuck at home for two and a half weeks when my son texts me to …
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my to dos. I have lots of them. I have lots of jobs: mom, friend, daughter, granddaughter, niece, housekeeper, business owner, and so I also have lots of to dos that go along with them! I can’t help but wonder if I’m doing all the jobs “right”. And …

When I’m writing my notes I always put when the next session will be. It makes me feel like time is speeding up. As I write this blog post September is almost over! Yesterday I talked with someone about how she heard on the radio we should start getting ready for Christmas with the delays …
I’m sitting in my office after my vacation. I’m reflecting on the things we did (and didn’t do) and I realized we didn’t take many pictures this time. Our plans changed and then they changed again and we had a great time, but we didn’t take as many pictures as we normally would. And I …
I woke up this morning with a lot of anxiety, and I wasn’t quite sure where it was coming from. I had some nebulous unclear fears swarming around in my head and I was just stressed and worried. The way that I combated that stress was to try and focus on where I was at …
