I expect my following to drop after this post. That's what happens when someone decides to post after 3 years of silence right? Honestly, I'm embarrassed and scared to post here again. I'd rather just hide away in my weighted blanket cave... In 2018, I was sexually assaulted at a conference which led to a series of bad choices and tragic events. During that time, I took over the company fully, ultimately choosing to close it because I was too sick to manage it. I hate that I'm writing this. So many people helped me as I started over. Several of you were understanding as I closed the company, heaped from divorce, managed returns, and liquidated the remaining product. I finally got a job and continued using my salary to finish customer refunds. (If anyone still hasn't been refunded, DM me and I will still look into it.) So why am I posting now? The essential oil flashcards were given another chance at life. It took years of contracts, work and patience to get to this point... This fall, the flashcards will be sold in book stores. I am grateful, undeserving and finally feel healthy enough for this to be okay. It's because of you this is possible. My only hope - to be more relatable, strong, and honest this go around. #aromatherapy #aromatherapist #essentialoils #naturalremedies #theresanoilforthat #healing #healingjourney #healingstory #holistichealth #holisticcommunity #holisticwellness

I’m in such a weird place right now. • I have no idea what I’m doing next with my career and I’m not finding joy in my field anymore. • I’m not sure if I should get rid of my apartment or keep it. • I’m afraid and paralyzed at times to make a choice that makes me feel trapped or boxed in. Grief has changed a lot in the short/long weeks. It’s going to be an interesting few months of trying new things and seeing what brings joy. I’m someone who enjoys following checklists and this is a time in my life where I don’t have fun. I have to sit in the uncomfortable feeling of learning what I want and what makes me happy without reason. #figuringitout #depression #grief #griefjourney #decisionsdecisions #healing #healingjourney

Slowly, I want to start sharing more about the challenges I’ve faced over the past couple years and things I look forward, too. This IG page has been hard for me. It’s vulnerable and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life right now. I moved so far away from the business where this page was built that I continue to be daunted by it. Outside of my freelance jobs, I’m a writer. I write a lot of poetry and inner thoughts while I learn about myself and emotions. I started over my life around 29 and it brought up a lot of questions. I still have questions and often wonder what really makes me happy. I wrote this after taking time off when I got laid off. I never really understood what people meant when they said they’re healing their inner child. I just didn’t get it until I had more free time. My boyfriend helped take care of me while I figured things out with my physical and mental health. His unconditional love helped me understand it more. It’s still a journey and I hope I never become someone who tells you the way to do life. I hope some of my stories make it a little easier though. #healing #healingjourney #depression #trauma #anxiety #poetry #writer #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokay #innerchild

I thought this year was going to be different. I had hopes of revamping this page, finishing my book and doing more digital products. I called it the year of “betting on myself” after getting laid off in Dec. It turned out to be a year where I allowed myself to be a kid and heal my inner child. My book turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I made it more than halfway, but there’s a lot to do. And I was heartbroken when my dad and uncle passed away. Then my time I had budgeted for ran out. I’ve used the time in between the hard things to mourn and heal. I enjoyed learning about myself and resting. I played Sims again. Went on long walks. Took lots of baths. Watched foreign films. Learned more about water colors and graphic design. Cried a lot. Wrote a lot. Went on adventures. Drank lots of cappuccinos while reading spicy novels. Did somatic exercises and focused on stretching. Working on this reel made me appreciate how much healing has happened. As I start ramping things up again this fall, I’ll always look back on this time and be grateful. #30s #healing #innerchild #innerchildhealing #rest

In 2019, I took a break from posting on this account. I started again in late 2022, but I’ve changed so much in 4 years. The business has closed and turned into a publishing deal instead. I’ve healed a lot and grown into new interests. I hope you’ll stick around as I post about that instead. Expect to see more videos of me being awkward, traveling, being creative and learning about life. ❤️
