I’m finding lately that laughter truly is the best medicine. Find people who can make you laugh so hard you snort, who then make fun of you for snorting you can’t stop for a solid 20 minutes - those are my kinda people. IYKYK ❤️

4 years ago today I walked into the doors of @futuresrecovery . I told people I was going on a “retreat and would be doing a 10 day digital detox” - only immediate family and close friends knew I was signing myself into a rehab center. Doing so pulled me out of a very dark place - and I am so glad I went and ended up staying the whole 30 days.

All I can say is never ever be afraid to ask for help or put yourself first. If you need help when it comes to your mental health or addiction - do not be afraid to ask for it. The people in your life would rather have you ask for it and have you around for years to come than have you suffer in silence and lose you too soon. Don’t ever give up on yourself. Something it has taken me a long time to learn is that we all deserve to be here and there is enough joy and light to go around for all of us but we have to remember that in order to truly enjoy those highs we have to understand and know the lows as well because it’s the lows that ultimately make you appreciate all the good you do have in your life. You just have to remember you can’t live in the low - you have to pull yourself out… and you will. It can take time but it will happen.

Four years ago I was at my lowest and I took the first step towards change. I did a lot of therapy and EMDR did wonders for me. I did not leave rehab a shiny, happy person - in fact I was still pretty pissed after rehab (haha) but I was no longer afraid of own shadow or loud noises due to immense trauma I had suffered and I continued doing the work that needed to be done and fighting every day and that’s all we can do. Thank you to Futures for getting the ball rolling and thanks to my friends and family for supporting as my journey continues.

Every day I remind myself “we can do hard things” and to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It also helps that I started reading A LOT which just keeps me occupied from what is happening in the real world and of course spending time at the gym and with my girl Mezzanine 💜

Basically word vomit from a very tired person shooting her shot. Will most likely take this down and make a normal video but had to do something before I lost my nerve so this is what happens 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

(And OMGosh what is up with my frizzy hair!?)

To my MezBez on your gotcha day,

It’s hard to believe we have been together for 10 years already. 10 years since I decided while recovering from an appendectomy that it was the perfect time to get a dog 🤦🏻‍♀️ I saw a photo of you and your sister at the shelter and I knew one of you would be mine. When I went to look - you came right up to me and started licking me through the cage. I felt like you were choosing me.

Annnnd girl were you a handful - getting into things you weren’t supposed to, opening closets and doors, jumping gates, climbing on pianos or tabletops when you weren’t supposed to- you always marched to the beat of your own drum and still do. You did not want to be tamed but you eventually surrendered- to an extent. When you were a puppy you couldn’t fall asleep unless some part of you was touching me but as you grew up you learned to really love your space - so much so that I miss your cuddles but as long as you sleep by my head I’m a happy girl.

I’m sure when you picked me to be your owner you didn’t realize what you were getting yourself into with all my chronic illness and pain and migraines - what a life - but between the two of us we make it work. You keep me steady and save me every day in more ways than I can count. You have made me pull myself out of the darkness to take you on walks, you have made me take meds so that I will feel better, you have warned me when something bad is about to happen to me medically so I can prepare, you have licked countless tears away and stopped me from shaking and crying, you have laid with me in bed post- multiple surgeries. You are my hero and I am so very lucky to have you in my life.

And not only do you brighten up my day - you brighten up and bring so much joy to those you run into on a daily basis or just once. You’re an icon and leave smile and laughter in your wake.

Thanks for sharing these 10 years with me and here is to another 10! I love you baby girl - my Mezzanine 💜

Mezzie was not amused - and a little judgmental if you ask me.

Never posted my last 40 days of the 100 jumps a day for 100 days cuz you know - life. But I did it and I continue to try and jump daily.

Plus you might see a little cameo from a coworker cuz yes some days I would jump at work haha

Also I somehow missed filming my last day but since I continued on does it really matter? This was just me trying to prove to myself that I can follow through on challenges I make for myself.

Anyways this video is what it is - proof to myself 💪🏻 and I do believe it has helped me kickstart my fitness journey after my surgery. Here is to keeping the momentum up.

When I can’t find Mezzie to cuddle with it’s usually because she’s in my closet…

Another 30 days of jumps … you’re welcome. 60 out of 90 days complete… 40 more to go for 100 jumps a day for 100 days. LETS GOOOOO 💪🏻🦵🏻

Honestly just trying to be more content and confident with my post surgery body - scars and all. As most of you know I had my 4th surgery for endometriosis back in November and these are probably my most prominent scars out of all the surgeries BUT in my opinion (so far) my most successful surgery as I’m still feel very optimistic after almost 3 months post-op. As someone who also deals with crazy body dysmorphia due to this insane disease I am trying to get more comfortable in being in front of a camera again (odd thing to say for an actor right?) 💁🏻‍♀️🫶🏻

I decided to challenge myself to 100 jumps a day - no matter what - for 100 days. Today I made it to day 30 and I kind of love it. When I remember to do it in the mornings it wakes me up, other times I find myself doing it just for a pick me up or to get ready for my workout but this is something I am definitely going to keep up and adding things onto. I will say I never thought it would make me feel more energized but it definitely does. Half the time I find myself dancing towards the ends of my jumps and I just wanna keep going. I highly recommend challenging yourself…

Let’s see how the next 30 days go 👍🏻

Happy Birthday to my best friend and older sister @kanords ! Thank you for always reminding me to be true to myself and never back down from what I want out of life and allowing me to always walk to the beat of my own drum - after all I learned from the best 🥳 Hope you have a fabulous year and you make it the best one yet! Cheers to another year around the sun.
