Trigger Warning: I briefly mention disordered eating below. I’ve never talked about Taylor Swift here but I am a fan and have been since her debut album was released in 2006. I can’t believe that in just a few hours, her latest rerecord, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), will be put out into the world. In the…

I’ve been going through a long stretch of time feeling constantly overwhelmed and burned out recently but moments of stillness have really been helping me through this time. It might seem impossible when our lives are so busy and the world moves at such…
How We Talk About Mental Health
*This post was supposed to be publish last week but was not released due to a technical issue. Sorry! It’s just me over here running this whole operation. We’ll be back to your regularly scheduled programming next week! Today’s post is going to be a bit of a rant, but hopefully a helpful one. I…

My COVID-19 Vaccine Experience
Since I have recently become eligible in my state, I was able to receive my first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine this week and I thought I would share my experience in case any of you are curious. I have to say I was surprised that I was able to get an appointment so…
My Post-Lockdown Anxiety
It is hard to believe that it’s been over a year that we’ve been in some form of lockdown but it feels like we are finally at a point in the COVID-19 pandemic where things are slowly starting to turn a corner. Yes, there are unfortunately variants hitting certain areas, but on the whole restrictions…
