When I feel depressed... 😔
"Your mental & physical health are inseparable. You cannot work to strengthen one without having a positive effect on the other."
-Napoleon Hill
Happy October!
Who else loves them some fall vibes when the colors turn orange, the leaves turn red, the weather gets crisp, and every day Starbucks is in your inbox trying to convince you that you NEED a pumpkin spice latte in hand? 🙋♀️
Another thing that happens in the fall is that the colder weather, the earlier nights, and the transition from outside to in can bring on the blues for some people. And since I've struggled with it, I just wanted to address that in this week's blog post titled: Breaking Free: How to Cure Depression Without Meds
There are two important things I hope you take from this post:
- Treating depression involves a holistic approach through lifestyle changes, like exercise, diet, social connections, and emotional self-care.
- There is a personal responsibility in managing depression that requires dedication, self-discipline, and actively making choices to counter negative thoughts and behaviors.
I also posted about this topic on Instagram this week, highlighting 5 mistakes I've made that DIDN'T help me heal my depression
You can find them both here. ↓

"Don't compromise your standards in an attempt to appease those who aren't willing to improve theirs." -Michele Mendoza Hey there, Reader! I've been on social media every day of October, and I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot! A lot in so many different ways. I've learned a lot about myself in my journey of overcoming the fear of being seen. I've learned a lot about accepting and loving myself enough to not be discouraged and bogged down by the nay-sayers and cynics. And I've learned about the...
"To be great is to be misunderstood." -Ralph Waldo Emerson Ever feel like every time you talk, something you say or do is taken out of context or interpreted wrong? And you think to yourself… Maybe I could have done something differently. Or how could I have gotten my point across clearer? Did I offend them? Are they mad at me? Whatever is going through your mind, it’s there. The nagging feeling that you are being misunderstood. It can feel so lonely and isolating, and the more it happens,...
"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." -Napoleon Hill Hey Reader. Mind if I jump right in? Sometimes life kicks our asses. We create a plan, we follow the guidelines, we believe we've got it all figured out. And then...life happens. We fail. We get rejected. The employer doesn't call. Or does, and it's bad news.
