What unique characteristics or qualities do you have that causes you to stand out? In what ways can you share your radiant light to the world? We use great energy expenditures to prove to the world and often ourselves that we’re enough and worthy. Blurring the line of what once was and the new norm. Be gentle and loving with yourself. Take it a Moment at a Time. Sending a Mighty Hug 🤗

Conversationally questioning my narcissistic parents for the way they abused me as an undiagnosed child on the spectrum, and watching them run away in fear of facing they’re wrong doings. Too bad I didn’t get to run away as a child though, they demanded I stay put while they basically berated me for being neurodivergent 🙄. It’s oddly cathartic and healing my inner demons. The more I heal the stronger I feel! #narcissisticabusesurvivor #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #warrior

This is a playlist of my life…here’s some of my favorite songs (it’s extensive!) What songs are your go-to when you are depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, scared, in pain … or feeling great? What would be on the playlist of your life growing up? What are your all time favorite songs? Can you tell what generation I grew up in😉?!? I’ll give you a hint…classic rock & Alt Dance music literally shaped my life (especially when I deejayed in my late teens/20’s)

When’s the last time you gave yourself a pat on the back? You got up today, you fought through your pain, you drank some water or took your medication. You my friend deserve to give yourself some grace. You know the grace you so freely give to others. Stop depriving yourself of kindness to your own body,mind and soul. What would you say to a friend going through your troubles? Here are my ways of being better towards yourself and your outlook about yourself.
