May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Let this be your reminder: your mental health matters every single day.

You don’t have to “push through,” “stay strong,” or “keep it together” in silence.

Healing starts when we stop pretending we’re okay and start giving ourselves the space to actually be okay.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or just need someone to talk to—know that help is available, and you don’t have to do this alone.

Let me help you process, heal, and grow.

Life is a delicate dance between pouring into others and refilling your own cup.
For me… I would be foolish to say that it wasn’t hard… As someone whose passion and purpose is in supporting others, I’ve learned the hard way that you can’t pour from an empty vessel.

Over the past year I have learned that healing and helping can coexist, but they require balance. There were days, that required me to be the encourager, the listener, the shoulder to lean on. Other days, I was engulfed in my own turmoil, and I was the one needing grace, rest, and space to process my own journey.

During this journey…. I began to write. I wrote on those days where the sun gave me a little extra warmth, and shined a little brighter. I wrote on those days when I couldn’t tell if it was the raindrops or my tears falling from clouds. Each day allowed me to heal at my own pace, while I continued to grow, love, and uplift others.

The beauty of this journey is that I am still a work in progress…

Let me share my Journey with you…
A Balancing Act: The Journey to Healing the Helper.
A 40 Day Devotional for Life’s Challenges and Triumphs.
Available May 2025.
