It has been a while. The last few months have been insane- I have been adjusting to a new job, got married, went on an amazing honeymoon to South Africa, started a major lifestyle change, and finally... GOT A NEW WEBSITE. Over the last year and a half since I started sharing my story, this project- to live as authentically as possible in spite of my depression- has evolved. When I first started creating videos, writing posts, and speaking publicly, I was beyond nervous about how people would perceive me so I hid behind my personal mantra of "curiosity, courage, cake". I still believe fully in this mantra and the idea that "a little bit of curiosity can change your entire life, a whole lot of courage is necessary to take on your dreams, and there is nothing that can’t be made a little bit better with cake!" But I am ready to stand on my own two feet... to be more than just a tagline.

So welcome to the next evolution of this project. I took the last several months off in order to practice what I preach and find some self-care. I changed my diet, traveled thousands of miles, spent more time with friends and family, read a ton, climbed a couple mountains, and tried new recipes.  I meditated more and started to understand my anxiety better. I asked myself if I was doing things out of fear, prestige, spite, anger, depression, etc. and forced myself to seek out the positive. I reflected on every aspect of my life.

And this is where it all led me- invigorated, itching to write... ready to live my best life. Welcome.
