Depression: Unraveling Slowly
Depression. The worst possible thing you could feel when you were once feeling so happy. Maybe it was something you did wrong, or maybe it just wasn't your day. Either way, depression sucks. Sometimes it's just something we have to deal with. Sometimes it's completely situational, other times we just feel stuck in rock bottom.

Emotional and Mental Health Check-In
Mental and Emotional Health Check-In The purpose for this post is very simple. I wanted to make a post to just check in with all of my readers. I want to know how you are doing with your mental health as well as your emotional health. More importantly than that, though, I want you to check in with yourself. Give yourself an honest and unfiltered evaluation of how you are doing. A little stress is okay. Stress is part of life and having the small stresses and anxiety in your life is actually very normal.

How I successfully practice the "Finding Calm in the Chaos" superpower and you should too!!
There is no magic wand to make this change happen or a mantra that will cause overnight success with this. It takes time to put this into practice and reap the rewards of this mindset and operational dynamic. It does not matter when you start practicing this since it will become permanent thereafter.

A Nobody's guide to Stoicism
The life of the ancient Stoics stands marred in pain, suffering, exile, slavery, and sickness. Even for those stoics such as Marcus Aurelius whom history remembers as the philosopher emperor of Rome. Many today may never face the tribulations that these ancient philosophers did, why then is true stoic thought so difficult to achieve and so rarely sought after in modern times?

My brain was broken
it’s no secret that a large portion of the American population is suffering from some form of mental illness, whether it’s anxiety, depression, ocd, ptsd etc. A lot of us will experience the moment when our brain turns against reality. For some it starts early, from childhood trauma, some are predisposed due to genetics. Most often the onset of mental illness happens in your early to mid twenties. That was me. I was living a normal non anxious life when the big “A” took a crap on my party. A lot of things invited the monster in. It could have been a friend turning on my, the death of the grandparents that raised me of just hitting the magic age, I still don’t know. But I do know that I was MISERABLE. A huge part of my misery was genuine confusion about the way I was feeling, as it was a new experience. Being so anxious eventually led to being depressed and I tried everything that everyone suggested. I tried rescue remedy herbal drops, magnesium supplements, lemon balm tea, marijuana, cbd, deep breathing, crying, screaming, silence-nothing even made a dent.

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
What are you doing? Why are you yelling? Didn’t I just tell you to pick those up? That is a typical day in my home. Between running errands on my day off, working a full-time job and taking my child to school; dealing with ADHD is added to the list of things to deal with through out the day. However, it most certainly isn’t how I’d imagined starting my mornings and ending my evenings. Now I’ll begin by explaining what ADHD is, types of medications, treatment and how I’ve coped in my own way having a child with this disorder.

Have you lost touch with who really are?
Do you sometimes feel as though you’re walking in someone else’s shoes, as though you’re operating on autopilot or ‘playing a role’ to please or fulfil others’ expectations of who you should be? Do you ever wonder “Who am I really?” Holistic counselling and therapy can help you find your way home to your most authentic self.

Playing With the Colour Black
I'm a door-to-door saleswoman. My day job that is. I sell life insurances to people, profiting off of their love for the future of their families, their fear of the black-hooded Grim Reaper. Little do they know that I’m Death Incarnate. The business is simple and profiting in many ways. I sell life insurances by day and kill people by night. The increasing crime rate of murders in the neighbourhood manifest fear in people, so there has been a boom in the insurance industry, while at the same time, I kill people under contract to earn some pretty pennies. It was going all good and forth till I met the strangest client yet.
