The good, bad, and funny. I honestly can't believe I got my mic to hook up and work on the first try.

It's been a battle every single time the last few times and it is nine o'clock at night I just got done putting my kids to

bed my five-year-old is really struggling with this like after-school like energy

and whatnot he holds it all together during the day and then he comes

home and oh it's quite a woozy. Anyways I oh my gosh I haven't chatted with you guys in a while, so I guess I'm gonna chat.

We're gonna chat about some shit.

So I don't know if I really shared this on here before I did share it on

Instagram but on August 9th 2023 was my last therapy session after two and a

half years of therapy

for postpartum depression and anxiety.

I did a lot of childhood trauma work in therapy

and anxiety work and a lot of work around,

like relationships, boundaries, and even some work around eating habits.

Anyways I was so nervous to end therapy because I was like what happens next? What do I do if things go shitty? And my therapist

assured me that she would be around if I needed her and on the very last

day we did this activity called the stoplight activity and I'm going to explain that to you.

But first I want you to know that what's the day today?

Today is October 9th.

Oh my God, two months.
