New Year Truths

Well hello again, you gorgeous souls.

Real talk, cuz you deserve it: Mama took a good sabbatical after recognizing I was steadily going down a familiar path towards a dark depression. It’s been affecting my sleep, eating habits, focus, motivation levels, and my cherished roles as wife and mother. It for sure has made me doubt my capacity to inspire, lead, and grow as an entrepreneur.

Instead of being real with you, I took a long break. I figured you would see through it if I hid behind fluffy motivational posts. Then over the last few days, I’ve realized that we all have our shit to deal with. That’s what makes us human, and a lot of times how we relate to each other on a truly deeper level.

Instead of being ashamed of the state of my mental health, I can use this journey of getting help and refocusing my energy & intentions to refine what I have to offer as a mentor (and person, for that matter).

So perhaps reintroductions are in order. I’m creative, loyal, open-minded, and organized. Salsa dancing and power vinyasa feed my need to move, while ceramics are rekindling a raw urge to create things from scratch. I have a lot to share to help others and am learning the best ways to do so. Parenthood has been the biggest adventure of my life, with entrepreneurship in a close second. Both have stretched me beyond my perceived limits and catalyzed my growth.

I don’t want to close with a grandiose declaration of what I promise to do this year as far as courses, content and the like. What you *can* count on from me, however, is that moving forward I will be honest and open, and always have an ear for anyone working through their own journey with depression.

Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year ⚡️
