This is my honest space to document the journey from simply surviving to fully thriving as a single mom, a woman healing from heartbreak, and a human reclaiming peace.
Here, I share real moments, gentle routines, co-parenting reflections, and the worksheets that help me process it all.
This is healing in motion: raw, real, and hopefully, a little Marvalous.
Work has challenged me in ways I didn't expect this year. Organizational changes, shifting responsibilities, and the departure of trusted teammates left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. In the past, I would have carried the weight of circumstances I couldn't change. This time, I chose a different path. By focusing on what I can control, identifying the work that energizes me, investing in new skills, and intentionally planning my next career move, I'm discovering that even when a job feels uncertain, personal growth doesn't have to stop. If you're navigating workplace stress or feeling stuck in your career, I hope this perspective helps you find your footing too.
For years, I believed the hardest part of healing was understanding what happened to me. Through EMDR therapy, I've discovered the harder, and more important, work was changing the story I told myself about it. This chapter of my healing journey explores self-blame, conditioning, learning to trust myself again, and finding compassion for the version of me who was simply doing the best she could.
For years, I believed I was simply independent. Through my latest EMDR sessions, I realized that many of the habits I considered personality traits were actually survival strategies. In this chapter of my healing journey, I share how EMDR is helping me redefine safety, embrace rest without guilt, and release responsibilities that were never mine to carry.
