Damn, Why Can't I Just Be Good
I talk a lot about trauma healing. What trauma am I healing? It's a story with many chapters. For this post I'll be focusing on my early childhood. When we learn love and safety.

Disappointment isn’t Failure
I got news last night that my Disability claim was denied. After seeing a judge and a judge appointed Dr., a man in a robe decided that I'm not disabled. I didn't care much for the whole process.

I have some baggage from childhood that affects … Continue reading Speak Your Truth

Hey, Tribe! I've been horrible at keeping people updated with ALL the things going on with Cody and I, so a little rundown is so necessary. Ready? Here goes...

We In Colorado, Yo
I can't believe we've already been here for a month. The time has flown by and it's been exciting and challenging. Acclimating to so many things at once has proven to be physically and emotionally exhausting. Going from a 1,000 ish square feet to around 200 ish is an interesting adjustment.
