Why, yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.

Mothering AnxietyEpisode 92: Victim Hood For many years, I was stuck in the Victim mentality. I felt that because I was dealt a crappy hands of cards in life, that I deserved to be shown everyone's un-devoted love and attention. I would purposely share certain things about my life to simply get pity parties from those who had chosen to be around me.
It wasn't until I embarked on this healing journey that I realized what I had been doing all of that time. And it wasn't until I was able to self reflect that I was able to stop and grow fro...
2022-06-0631 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 91: Setting BoundariesSetting Boundaries was something that I just learned was a possibility. I did not know that setting boundaries was something that was necessary to maintain a stable Mental Health for me. Being able to set boundaries with certain people has helped make sure that I can keep control of my life and has taught me that saying "No," should not make me feel guilty.
Take a listen as I talk about some boundaries that I've set, different kinds of boundaries you can set, and how I am working on making sure that I don't feel guilty over the boundaries I h...
2022-05-3029 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 90: Anxiety & OverthinkingCall me an avid over thinker over here! Honestly though, I feel that all of us who deal with Anxiety are just automatically over thinkers.
I can definitely over think myself into a bad mood every day if I truly let myself. Can you? There are times where my overthinking takes me to a world of impossible and it is extremely hard to get myself back into reality. I know that this is part of me "surviving." But how do I survive without causing myself an endless amount of Anxiety?
Take a listen as I...
2022-05-2329 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 89: Cleaning Out My Closet.After hearing that Eminem was going to be performing at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, I went through a moment of binge listening to all of his music. I remember him at being the GOAT of cleaning out his closet, not holding back on anything he wanted to say about anyone really and truly just putting out his true feelings out for the world to hear.
I thought to myself. . . how therapeutic must that have been? And I thought about my Podcast and how this is what I've been doing. I have been sharing my life, my...
2022-05-1628 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 88: Mothering UnmotheredThis past week leading up to Mother's Day was very triggering to me. There were many emotions and feelings that were brought up that I had to figure out why I was still letting it bother me. I decided to record an episode simply on what was running through my mind this week.
I realized that I have had to figure out how to Mother without a Mother. I have had to figure out how to do better and be better for my own Daughter to not repeat the same generational trauma patterns. I was also mourning...

I have learned a few tips and tricks along the way that help me be as functional as I can when these Bad Days hit. I am a Mom and a Wife and I have people that rely on me so laying in bed all day doing absolutely nothing isn't really an option for me.

2022-05-0232 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 86: Anxiety Is My Love LanguageIn honor of my 8 year wedding anniversary, I decided to record an episode about my Marriage and a few of the struggles we've had to deal with along the way. We have been through what feels like hell and back but I can say that it was the Acceptance that we were both different, the acceptance that we both processed things differently, the acceptance that we had trauma we had to heal from (& neither one of us could do anything about it), and the acceptance that our brains simply didn't work the same way that lead to where we...
2022-04-2533 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 85: Toxic People: RelationshipsIt has taken me a really long time to accept that I was in a relationship that was not good for me.
For so long, I was angry at myself for allowing myself to go through so much, to allow someone to treat me like garbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized, the only reason I let it happen was because that “love” felt familiar to me.

2022-04-1831 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 84: How Lonely Healing FeelsI knew that Healing would mean that I would feel some pain from time to time but I never realized how LONELY it can feel. Sure, one could argue "Well, you cut everyone out, what do you expect?" But it goes beyond that.
It's lonely because everyone processes everything differently. We all process our Traumas very uniquely. So even if someone went through something similar to you, the way they processed and you processed it could be completely different.
It's hard not having anyone to talk to about what you're feeling and most importantly, to...
2022-04-1132 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 83: Health AnxietyAm I the only one who freaks out every time they have to go to the Doctor?
Ever since I could remember, I despised going to the Doctor because I was always afraid that they were going to tell me that I was going to die right then and there. My “fear” was always dismissed as me being a “scaredy cat” but as I’ve gotten older and especially most recently, a NP said, “I think you have White Coat Syndrome.” This has opened up a new can of Anxiety worms as I have had to figure out a way to ea...

I am doing things that are unspoken of, I am cutting ties, setting boundaries, and trying to pave my own way that is unfortunately going to make those that don't agree form a specific opinion of me that I just have to learn to accept.

As I continued to record more episode and going through more things in my life, I started to realize where my Anxiety steamed from.

2022-02-2823 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 77: Social AnxietyI have been trying to figure out why my Social Anxiety has gotten worse.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been a Stay At Home Mom for 4 years and I don’t have conversations with adults anymore, maybe it’s me being more selective with the people that get my energy, or maybe it’s that I was never allowed to be myself growing up that now I’m going through an identity crisis and don’t know who is the real me and what is a trauma response.

2022-02-2136 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 76: Accepting That I’m The Bad GuyAdmitting that I am the Bad Guy in certain people's story is a hard thing to admit. Admitting that I have also picked up some toxic traits along the way from being surrounded by toxic people is also hard to admit.
I know that I have done things and said things that may have caused harm to others and as a people pleaser, as someone that always needs to be liked and loved by everyone, it is hard to just simply think that some how you were harmful to someone else. But, we also have to learn t...

2022-02-0732 minMothering AnxietyEpisode 74: Showing Up Online As An Anxious PersonI constantly get asked, how do you so openly share your story and post yourself all over social media while dealing with Anxiety?
The answer is. . . I don’t know. I’ve been doing social media for maybe almost 3 years by now and I will have to say that it does get easier. When you find your “tribe,” your “community,” you won’t feel as anxious or judged. You know that these people genuinely care, and genuinely are following you for the content you provide.
