Hello joy seeker, I'm so glad you're here!

Taking care of mental health is not something a lot of us learned while growing up. In fact, I was taught quite the opposite - to take care of others before I take care of me. While this made the lives of those I was taking care of much better, this proved to be detrimental to my emotional and mental health especially in my adult life.

After a series of strained and failed relationships, I was left feeling emotionally exhausted and defeated. I started experiencing depression and anxiety throughout almost everyday. My emotional wellbeing was completely out of whack and I was starting to physically feel miserable. 

I felt like I was barely functioning. I hit my rock bottom.

I knew this was not a sustainable way of life and something had to change for me to be happy. This realization started my journey to self-care ultimately leading me to where I am now - joyful and thriving! You wouldn't know that if we met for the first time today. Most people assume that I have always been the happy and free soul that they see now. What they didn't see was the years of trial and error. I dusted myself off and tried again more times than can count, but I grew to love that process.

Something I have learned on this journey is that it's never done. I like knowing that while I am currently the best version of myself, I can continue to evolve into an even better ME.
