Jenna March 18, 2019 No Comments

Spring Solstice, on this day the daylight hours will be the exact same as the nighttime hours. It also marks the beginning of when the days will become longer and the nights shorter.

Anxiety. And Excess Stuff

Jenna January 28, 2019 No Comments

In my never-ending quest for living life a little less anxious, I came across the concept of how physical clutter can lead to a more cluttered mind. I started looking around my house at all the stuff I own. Thoughts immediately flooded into my head like, “You can’t get rid of that. It was a […]

Finding a therapist is like getting thrown back into dating. Ugh!
