IM BACKKKKKK :)

HOLY MOLY! It’s been a few long years, and I am finally back. I needed to take a break and 100% just became a recluse working on my craft, learning how to be a single mama, growing, and throwing myself into taking care of Maggie and Mason and myself…I have actually gotten to learn on how to just be me - accept all of me, even my flaws. I did not do it the best way, I just shut my website down, and truly focused on my mental health and Maggie and Mason.

Its wild to think about all the change. Seeing 2021 as the last blog entry makes me excited to share my work again. I do not have a plan for this blog, its just a “hey - I’m back, and ready to get back to life pre covid/divorce just a whole lot different”.

I have only done a handful of sessions over the last few years - my mental health really was struggling in 2021… I was in the thick and I mean THICK of my divorce from the kids father. Honestly… almost a month ago we got the final order from the judge in regard to the custody battle I have been in for the last… 2 years with their dad… He wanted sole custody and honestly when my mental health was shit in the middle to end of 2021… He could have gotten sole custody - I was not good. My heart was broken, and I am not proud of some of my actions. There has been continued struggles, therapy has helped…THE MOST! I do not miss a single appointment, and I truly enjoy doing the work. This year I decided I wanted to do a powerlifting competition, just to see what I can do. Okayyy - enough rambling… its almost midnight.

Check out my work from a few sessions this last year ❤
