Healthy Coping Mechanisms Require Balance to Work #MentalHealth Post of the Week
Okay, so “Crazy,” let’s talk about what that word means. It means “mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive manner. That’s the Google definition, and it fits pretty closely with the definition I’m referring to when I say “crazy.” It is really difficult to remain calm in the hum of craziness wrapping…

It’s hard to describe how this much means to me. It means a lot. Let me start there. One of my favorite creators of all time was Joss Whedon, which is vastly ironic when you consider that this entire blog is written from the perspective of someone who was deeply abused by the men in…

Why Mary Berg Makes Sense for CTV
Canada would love for you to believe that it’s an old country with old country values.

Holy Shit, So That’s What a Narcissist Looks Like In The Wild
They can look like anyone in the world. They can start off being the kindest, sweetest, most open, and wonderful people in the world.

Trauma and PTSD Have Been The Focus For A Long Time
People tell me how strong I am. I rattle off the things I’ve been through like I’m making a grocery list. “I’ve been through x, y, z,” I say, often without realizing or thinking, that the words I am using, hit folks like a punch to the face. I’m really difficult to rattle because of…

“Little By Little…
The world will strip you apart, just to prove that you’re as powerful as you are.” Someone once said that to me, years after he raped me, years after he’d already violated me. I’d given him a second chance, I didn’t really remember what he’d done to me, because he was out of my life…

Stop Being So Afraid of Your Destiny That You Miss The Experience of Defining Your Destiny For Yourself
I said what I said and I am saying this with my whole chest. In my 20s I was told I was born to be a healer. I didn’t want to hear this, mainly because I was tired. I was burned out, years of helping others instead of helping myself, decades of masking, pretending, being…

LMBG State of the Blog
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, and I’ve been struggling to write about anything lately, so I thought I would talk about some of the goals I want to accomplish in 2024. Now that I am housed and safe, and in a place of healing, I want more of it. At…

Mental Health, Healing, And What Is Happiness?
My life is pretty perfect right now. I have everything a person could want, and that’s leading me to think that something bad might suddenly befall me because that’s how it always is, isn’t it? Just when you’ve found the place called happiness, something comes along to test your resolve and whatever it is, usually…

Bitch And The Languages We Use
I used to call my friends bitch all the time. And then one day a boy called me a bitch and it didn’t feel so good coming from him. So let’s break it down. Bitch is a word used by women to connect each other to their inner power. When we call each other bitch…

Am I Allowed to Have This?
Yes. You are allowed to have happiness after trauma, you are allowed to have all the good things after chaos, and even though you’ve been conditioned that this fact is a lie, it’s really not. Gaslighters have taught you that you deserve your position in this world, that you can’t work or fight for more…
