Do Over Diaries is where I tell the truth about what it’s like to love someone through serious mental health challenges—and how faith helped me stand back up.

These are lived stories from more than a decade of navigating crisis, recovery, relapse, paperwork, boundaries, and the quiet, daily courage it takes to keep going.

I speak plainly about what I’ve seen: the pressure cooker of social media, the risks I believe early substance use can carry for some teens, and the systems that help—and the ones that fail. I don’t share diagnoses or private medical details. Dignity and safety are non-negotiable.

This channel isn’t medical advice. It’s one mother’s lived experience—offered to educate, reduce stigma, and remind you you’re not alone.

If you’re here for compassion, practical perspective, and hope that doesn’t lie to you, you’re in the right place.
