Rooted & Restless

07/22/2025

✨ New Post ✨
We’re entering the Soft Chaos Era — where we release the need to have it all together and just show up as we are.
If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, scattered, or like your brain is buffering… this one’s for you.

💭 It’s honest, messy, and a little too real — the way life actually feels sometimes.

Read it now & let me know if it hits:

Not everything needs to be finished before you’re allowed to feel grounded. This is what it looks like to find peace in the mess.

🌿 New on the Blog Today – and I mean this one from my soul:

👉 “What If I’m Not a Bad Mom — Just a Burned Out One?”

If you’ve ever yelled and instantly felt like the worst mom in the world...
If you’ve ever wanted to disappear just to get a break...
If you’ve ever cried because you love your kids so much but feel like you're constantly failing them...

This post is for you.
And for me.
Because I’ve lived every word of it.

I’m not offering some perfect parenting formula — just real talk, raw truth, and a free resource that might help you breathe through the mess.

✨ New Post (a little late, but real as ever)

I meant to share this earlier, but life — kids, feelings, ADHD, all of it — got the best of my timing. Still, this one needed to be written.

It’s for anyone who’s ever been misjudged, mislabeled, or misunderstood… especially in the town they call home.

They called me dramatic. Wild. A mess.
But they never asked why.

This week’s Rooted & Restless is a letter to my hometown — and maybe yours too.

📝 Read: “Hey Hometown, You Don’t Know Me Anymore”
📥 Free download included: You Don’t Have to Explain Yourself — a one-page printable for the misunderstood.

🌿✨ Have you read this week’s Rooted & Restless yet?

We're diving deep into the chaotic beauty of living with ADHD during your luteal phase—aka the “alien transformation zone” where nothing feels normal and everything feels a little too much.

🧠💥 It’s raw, it’s real, and yes—it comes with a FREE ADHD-Friendly Period Tracker to help you actually track your moods, cravings, energy, and more (without the overwhelm).

📬 The post is live now on Substack—go read, download, and share with someone who gets it.

✨ The first Rooted & Restless post is officially live! ✨

And nope—you don’t need a Substack subscription to read it. Just simply subscribe by adding your email.

This project is for the women building big things with limited time, executive dysfunction, and more tabs open in their brain than their browser.

If you've ever tried to run a business with ADHD (and a nervous system that’s 2 seconds from short-circuiting)—this one’s for you.

💌 Read the first drop:
“What ADHD Looks Like in My Business (When No One’s Watching)”

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up messy, honest, and still in motion.

We're about to get REAL.

Just a heads up—my first Rooted & Restless post drops Monday.

I’ve been sitting with a lot lately—ADHD, the luteal spiral, all the weird in-between feelings—and finally putting it into words. It’s not polished or perfect, but it’s real. And if you’ve ever felt like a different version of yourself the week before your period… this one’s for you.

There’s also a free ADHD-friendly period diary I made to go along with it, because that week can be a lot.

If you want to read it, it’ll be on Substack and I’ll post the link here too. Just wanted to share early in case anyone else has been feeling kinda… restless lately.
