So, today October 26, 2025 I am making the conscious decision to stop smoking. I started smoking in 2017 after being diagnosed with, depression, PTSD, and severe anxiety and being prescribed high doses of medications. After trying the meds and not liking the effects I decided I to self medicate. But now I’m in this phase of my journey where I feel, self medicating is no longer effective for me. Here I go: Day 1.

🎃 Halloween Vibes 👻 This week’s reminder: even when life feels spooky, you’re still growing through it. 🕯️ Drop one thing you’re proud of or grateful for this week — big or small. Let’s end October celebrating our wins and welcoming in new energy for November

I am currently at work, which I just started a new job (about 3 months in), but I have been tossed into my current position with no prior experience (and yes, lack of experience was known upon hiring) and ZERO training pertaining to my position. I continuously request help and review of work I produce with no resolve or review. I’m becoming really frustrated and triggered because I deal with the same invalidation and feeling like I’m not being heard at home. I want to identify what that triggers is and heal it.

So many people talk about healing like it's as simple as throwing together dinner. But here's what I've come to understand: healing doesn't run on anyone else's timeline. It might take a month. It might take a year. It could take a decade. The truth is, it depends entirely on how deep those wounds go and how much work someone is willing to put in—work to untangle the trauma, or traumas, that keep them from living out what their heart truly desires. When did you first realize that healing wasn't going to look like what everyone told you it would?
