For the record, I have a love/hate relationship with emotions, I wish I could turn them off but they are also a part of who I am. Believe it or not I’m learning to love myself and even like myself! what a concept, self love. There is a huge benefit to leaning into my emotions, […]

Coming out of a depression phase
Well hi! Long story short, the past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me mentally. My mental health is important so here are some things that have helped me recover from a depressive episode or whatever it’s called: I could probably write a bit on the last bullet point, but I feel better when […]
Moments of clarity
The past 3-4 months have been heavy emotionally at times, I will often wake up sad like that is the expectation. News is heavy, life is heavy, and meanwhile I’m being triggered into emotional trauma and it’s all very heavy. But the past week I’ve reconnected with God and it’s been refreshing. He’s given me […]
All hail cheese on fish!
The Ingredients: The Method: I recently got my sweet friend Joanna’s keto cookbook and was flipping through recipes and had a craving for something fast and easy (but also indulgent).

What a crazy 3 weeks
The first week of April I picked up my son from school and he was sick, he got over it pretty quickly (thank God). Then I got sick, i’m unsure the source but over the next 10 days I lost my taste, smell, and a little bit of my hearing (this is where it got […]
I stopped taking creatine, my reasoning was that I felt it was hindering my weight loss and the positive effects weren’t enough to outweigh that (yes this is a joke). There are other factors and i’ll definitely use up the powder at some point, it’ll just likely be revisited during a bulk. I use the […]
