Meet Me: 5 Things You Should Know About My Journey So Far

1. My Role as a Mom

Welcome back, beauties! I’m so glad to have you here. I know starting this blog might seem random, but trust me, it’s not. Life lately has been... an adventure, to say the least.

First things first, I’m a single mom to two incredible boys, ages 10 and 6. They’re my entire world. I’ve had full custody of them since 2022, and it’s been just the three of us ever since. Recently, though, life hit hard, and I reached a breaking point. I had zero fight left in me, and I knew something had to change. Fast forward two months: we moved back home, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have the support of my parents.

I won’t lie—at first, I was pretty hard on myself. Moving home at 30 felt like a step back, but honestly? It was exactly what we needed. It’s been a chance to reset, find stability, and start healing. Life’s still a work in progress, but we’re getting there.

2. ADHD: My Hyperactive Brain on Overdrive

Oh, ADHD... where do I even start? It’s not just about those “Squirrel!” moments people joke about. For me, ADHD feels like having 50 browser tabs open—all of them important, none of them working together.

Before medicating, my life was pure chaos. Every thought and emotion collided, and focusing was like trying to solve a puzzle with mismatched pieces. But once I started treatment? Game. Changer. My world shifted in ways I never imagined, and for the first time in forever, I feel like I can breathe.

That said, I’m still figuring it all out. Understanding my ADHD has been eye-opening and, at times, a little overwhelming. But hey, progress is progress, right?

3. Hormonal Roller Coasters

Let me tell you, turning 30 came with some surprises—and not the good kind. Starting in May, I began having two cycles a month. For those keeping track, that means double the mood swings, fatigue, cramps, and general chaos.

I was completely drained, both physically and emotionally. On top of that, the night sweats were relentless, and my mental health hit an all-time low. It felt like no matter what I did, nothing helped. That’s when I knew I needed to dig deeper and figure out what was really going on with my body.

Now, I’m working with a new gynecologist (shoutout to women who get it!) and tracking everything—mood, cravings, energy levels, you name it. It’s tedious, but I’m hopeful that this will lead to answers.

4. My Mental Health Journey

Finally medicating myself was an absolute game-changer. Learning how much my ADHD and hormones were impacting my life has been both a relief and a challenge.

Diving into my diagnosis has been eye-opening. My hyperactive thoughts have been running the show for so long that I’ve lost sight of who I am. It’s hard to sit with that realization, but it’s also a chance to rebuild.

For now, I’m focusing on learning and growing. When life finally slows down, I’ll take a moment to just be.

5. Why I’m Here

This blog is my way of telling my story—no filters, no fluff. If even one person reads this and feels less alone, then it’s all worth it. I want this space to be a safe haven for anyone navigating life’s ups and downs.
