🤝 Friday – Connection & Support

Support is more than having people around - it’s about feeling safe, respected, and understood.

Healthy connections honor boundaries, encourage growth, and don’t require you to shrink yourself to be accepted. Recovery and mental health improve when support feels steady instead of conditional.

You deserve connections that support your healing.

💜 Thursday – Healing & Reflection

Healing doesn’t happen all at once - it happens in small moments of awareness.

Taking time to reflect helps us understand our emotions, recognize patterns, and respond more intentionally to stress and triggers. Reflection isn’t about judging ourselves; it’s about learning.
Even a few minutes of honest self-check-in can support mental wellness and long-term healing

✨ Dreams can hold guidance we don’t always notice while awake. Sometimes they offer insight, clarity, or gentle nudges from your higher self. Pay attention to the feelings and symbols in your dreams this week—they might be trying to tell you something important. 🌙💫

💜 Switching Blood Thinners During Pregnancy 💜

Hi everyone, I wanted to share something important about my pregnancy and my health journey. I recently had to switch from Xarelto tablets to Lovenox injections, which I now have to take once a day for the rest of my pregnancy. This is to help prevent any more clots from forming - pregnancy increases my risk, especially since we I’ve had two pulmonary embolisms in 2017 and a clot in my leg in July 2022, which I still have.

I had to do Lovenox for 5 days before a recent dental implant surgery, and honestly, I hated it. Even though I’ve been clean from IV drugs for over 7 years, needles still make me anxious -
plus I’m worried about bruising on my belly from the injections 😭.

I wanted to share this because pregnancy can bring unique challenges for people in recovery, especially when health risks like clotting are involved. Managing fear, discomfort, and self-care is all part of staying safe and strong.
If you’re in a similar situation, know that it’s okay to be scared - but your safety and your baby’s safety are worth it.

💜Sending love to anyone navigating medical challenges in pregnancy 💜

💜✨ Baby Jefferson is on the way! ✨💜

I’m about 7 weeks pregnant 🩷🩵 and feeling so much gratitude for this journey.

We’ve decided to store our baby’s cord blood, a protective, life-giving gift for our family. It’s one more way to honor recovery, health, and the miracle of life - a small act of preparation for the future, filled with intention and love.

Already, this little soul is surrounded by care, protection, and hope. 💜✨

Recovery grows life ✨💜

I’m ready to share this part of my journey - I am about 7 weeks pregnant 🩷🩵🤰🏼
Baby Jefferson is expected September 2026.

This pregnancy exists because recovery exists.
Because stability exists.
Because methadone works.

Because healing and motherhood can - and do - coexist.
I’m moving forward with prenatal care already underway:
📞 February 6 – first telehealth prenatal appointment
🏥 February 19 – first in-person visit, hospital tour, OB team, and possibly hearing our baby’s heartbeat.

This is what recovery looks like.
This is what hope looks like.
And this is why I share my journey - so others know it’s possible 💜✨

Restore $2 billion for addiction recovery and mental health services

01/22/2026

Last week has been heavy for many communities, due to the grant cuts (yes, they were reversed).. Some important protections for mental health and recovery services were briefly threatened – and then restored.

Today, I’m choosing grounding. Breathing. Coming back into my body. Recovery teaches us that stability matters – for people, families, and systems.

If you’re feeling worn down, you’re not alone. It’s okay to slow down today 💜
