Some friendships feel inseparable until the job ends, someone moves, or life gets busy. Does losing the routine mean losing the friendship, or does staying connected simply require a different kind of effort?
What if you haven't fallen out of love with your hobby, your job, or your dreams? What if you're just exhausted? Before you make a permanent decision based on a temporary feeling, ask yourself one simple question.
A year ago, I was focused on surviving. These days, I’m worrying about hostas, tomatoes, and a pregnant doodle. As it turns out, having room in your life for things that aren’t emergencies might be one of the clearest signs of healing.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm taking care of the garden or if the garden is taking care of me. What started as a backyard vegetable garden has become a lesson in anxiety, ADHD, healing, and learning to trust growth even when I can't see it happening.
My ADHD brain wants constant progress and immediate results. Gardening said absolutely not. 🌱 Somewhere between the tomatoes, hyperfixation, and emotional support pollinator plants, I realized growth doesn’t respond well to panic. Neither do humans.
Somewhere along the way, I convinced myself that strengths belonged to successful people. Confident people. Not people like me. This is about ADHD, job hopping, burnout, self-worth, and finally learning that maybe I was never broken… just disconnected from my own value.
I spent years thinking I was just inconsistent, overwhelmed, and bad at following through. Turns out… I wasn’t broken. I was working against a brain I didn’t understand. Here’s what ADHD actually feels like from the inside.
We were in therapy again… talking about intimacy… again. And I’ll be honest, I was already a little on edge. Not because I didn’t want to talk about it… but because it’s one of those conversations I’m exhausted to have… again. Like genuinely. To the point
Owl Be Honest… I disappeared for a bit. Not because I didn’t care. Not because I ran out of things to say. But because life got loud… and I got quiet. Grief showed up. Stress showed up. The kind of exhaustion that doesn’t get fixed with a nap
Commission-based income doesn’t create pressure. It reveals your relationship with it. When your paycheck depends on your performance, your nervous system notices. The real challenge isn’t selling. It’s learning how to regulate uncertainty without tying your identity to fluctuating results.
Self-awareness is just as important as being able to name what growth looks like for you. In this post, I share what a quiet season taught me about trust, intentional decision-making, and why growth doesn’t always need to be loud to be real.
Struggling with trust doesn’t mean you’re broken. This post explains how trust works in real moments, not abstractions, especially with trauma or ADHD.
