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.
I came into my second EMDR session worried if my poor memory, and emotional detachment would get in the way. Instead, I learned that healing doesn’t depend on perfect recall and I built a calm place I can practice daily focused on joy.
Thriving doesn’t always look polished. Sometimes it looks like healing, boundaries, and simply continuing forward. In this post, I’m redefining what it means to be a thriving mama; balancing self, motherhood, purpose, and well-being in a season of growth. Because thriving isn’t about having it all figured out… it’s about showing up anyway.
Talk therapy gave me insight, language, and awareness; but it didn’t quiet my nervous system. This is the beginning of my EMDR journey and a deeper exploration of healing beyond logic.
