New video is up!👇 If you've ever had a free Saturday with nothing on the calenda and spent the whole day feeling guilty about it anyway, this one's for you. I'm talking about why rest feels wrong for so many of us — where it actually comes from, and what finally helped me after decades of not being able to sit still.

I'd love to know: does rest ever feel guilty for you? Comment on the video and tell me what that voice sounds like. I'll be reading every single one.

I used to think if I just loved my mother enough or said or did the right thing, she would finally change and stop drinking. I was wrong.

And it took me years to realize that trying to save her was the thing hurting me the most.

I just posted a video about how to stop trying to fix someone you love without feeling like you’re abandoning them.

If you’ve been stuck in this, I made this for you.💛

Many people are trying to build healthy relationships…with a nervous system that learned love during chaos. If you grew up around yelling, silence, walking on eggshells, or addiction, your brain learned some patterns to survive. The problem is those patterns can quietly follow us into adulthood.

In my newest video, I talk about 4 common relationship patterns people from conflict-filled homes fall into — and how to start changing them.

Which one do you relate to most?
1️⃣ The Fixer
2️⃣ The Runner
3️⃣ The Tester
4️⃣ The Performer

And if this topic resonates, I also share a free download with scripts for hard conversations in relationships in the description.

Healing these patterns is possible. 💛

I was 38 before I bought myself a decent mattress.
Not because I couldn't afford one. Because it never occurred to me that I deserved to sleep well.

When you grow up in a home where your needs aren't on anyone's radar, you don't learn how to take care of yourself. You learn how to survive. And then you carry that into adulthood and wonder why you're exhausted, running on coffee, skipping meals, and sleeping on a lumpy mattress you've had since college.

I made a new video about this — 7 simple places to start taking care of yourself when nobody ever taught you how. No big overhauls. No expensive routines. Just the basics I had to figure out on my own as an adult.

If you grew up without the blueprint, this one's for you.

💛 Which one do you need most right now?

Drink more water
Go to the doctor
Go to bed on purpose
Feed yourself real food
Move your body in a way that feels good
Make your space a little nicer
Let someone be kind to you

Drop your number below. One is enough.

For 15 years, I didn’t have a long-term relationship.

Not because I didn’t want one.
Not because no one was interested.
But because deep down, I didn’t believe love was safe.

If you grew up around addiction or dysfunction, trust issues don’t always look like jealousy. Sometimes they look like:

• The wall — you can’t fully let someone in
• The test — you push to see if they’ll leave
• The wrong type — chaos feels like chemistry
• The exit plan — one foot out the door, just in case

In this week’s video, I’m sharing exactly how I moved from that place… to a healthy, secure marriage. What changed. What didn’t. And what actually helped.

If relationships feel harder for you than they “should,” this one might land.

Please watch!

And tell me — which pattern do you recognize most?

New video is up. This one's personal.

I talked about what hypervigilance actually feels like when you grew up around dysfunction — the tight chest when nothing's wrong, the scanning, the way a good day can make you anxious. And what I've been doing daily to reduce it.

If that sounds familiar, this one's for you: https://youtu.be/yCOhr8U-0H8

I also made a free one-page checklist with everything from the video. Link's in the description.

I just shared a new video that came from a moment I didn’t understand until I was 26.

For years, I believed it was my job to fix my mom. To say the right thing. To try harder. To love better.

What I didn’t realize back then was this: I was pouring all my energy into something I couldn’t control and forgetting that I had choices of my own.

If you’ve ever felt responsible for someone else’s healing, this one’s for you.

I’d love to know: what’s something you didn’t understand until later in life? 🤍

🌿 If this time of year feels heavy for you, you’re not alone.

As adult children of alcoholics, the end of the year can bring up everything: old roles, guilt, pressure, and that feeling of needing to hold it all together.
For so long, I didn’t know how to process any of it. I just pushed through and carried the weight into the next year.

That’s why I created a gentle Healing Year-End Journal — a calming, step-by-step reflection for ACOAs to help you release what’s been heavy and start the new year feeling lighter and more grounded. 💛

If the holidays or the end of the year stir up a lot for you, this might support you too.

👉 Get the journal here:

I hope it gives you the same clarity and peace it’s given me.
I’m rooting for you, always. 🌿💛
