The Anxiety Highway
How to look at anxiety in a completely different way! When I first set out to research my own crippling anxiety, I wasn’t looking for anxiety relief. I didn’t want the latest drug, herbal tea, essential oil, aromatherapy, or the countless other suggestions I had heard about. I didn’t want to ease my anxiety symptoms...

It’s Your Mental Not Physical Health That Keeps You Stuck!
How learning to hear but not listen to the voices in your head can change everything. This morning, I was reminded that it’s my mental, not physical blocks that keep me stuck. I’ve come so far but as usual, I am reminded I still have far to go. Today’s lesson began at an unlikely place...

The Misconception About Mental Health
The Misconception About Mental Health (And The Big Messy Grey Space.) Lately, I’ve been noticing that there’s a common misconception when it comes to mental health.

Let’s Talk About Children’s Mental Health and Wellness!
An estimated 1.2 million Canadian children and youth are affected by mental illness yet only 20% of those children will receive treatment according to the Mental Health Commission of Canada. These numbers should alarm us. These numbers should have us asking what can we do to ensure our children are mentally and emotionally healthy? Our children’s...

Losing the Vulnerability Veil
I’ve been thinking a lot about vulnerability lately. I even wrote about how painfully vulnerable I felt when I finally pressed the publish button for Taming Crazy-Confessions and Lessons. To be honest, being vulnerable is scary. Yet it’s also rewarding because the more you talk with people about the raw, truthful moments, the more they...

This Is What Anxiety Feels Like.
The dark silky water almost feels comforting as you float in the shallows. You allow yourself to relax for just a moment but soon a sense of uneasiness starts to surround you. No one else can see it or feel it, but you know it’s there, lurking just beneath the surface. At that moment,...

Feeling like a Fraud!
Earlier this year I decided to write a book. I imagined myself sitting at my beautiful desk, as the sun streamed through my window and a soft breeze danced across my face.
