Easier said than done. I am practicing quieting my mind and being kinder to myself. I am my own worst critic. Anyone else struggle? Or have tips? #breath #self #selflove #selfcareisntselfish #selfcaresunday by @toooldforthisshitblog

“Back to School” was exciting but also a time of dread for me. I was a victim of bullying throughout my entire k-12 years. Teachers would tell my mom to keep me home sometimes to have a mental health day. I would have markers coloured on the back of my sweater, no one to partner with, I spent recesses alone and ate my lunch in the bathroom. Wow wow wow! Writing this as a mom it breaks my heart for “little Avery” no one protected her, believed her or stood up for her. I was always the problem. I heard over and over again just get along with them. My report cards said had a problem getting along with classmates. But reflecting now, I was never the problem, it was the bullies. Let’s protect our kids. Let’s believe them. And most importantly let’s listen to them when they need us. #backtoschool #backtoschoolbullying by @toooldforthisshitblog

What did a week at sea teach me? So much where to start…. Time to start loving my body. It might not be where I want it to be… but it has come so far! 5 years ago this would not be possible; boating, hiking, swimming, mopeding etc. I bumped into a woman after yoga she was so beautiful. God put it on my heart to tell her how she was glowing and just how beautiful and strong she was. She broke down crying and said I just finished breast cancer treatment and I just held her. It really reminded me we all have our challenges, our feelings and bottom line are all humans we need to show more empathy and acceptance. We need to share our stories. taken in Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park by @toooldforthisshitblog

I’ve been waiting to make a perfect instagram announcement, the family photo with the baby doll sheep in a lovely field. But truth be told this as close as it gets. Sheep need to earn trust so the perfect photo wont be coming for a while but thats what comes with a new adventure. So stay turned to our homestead adventure.

People pleasing used to be my thing, but now I'm learning to prioritize my own needs. Today, I hit rock bottom with my boss, and let's just say my computer got an earful. But I'm rising above, and so will my circumstances. #turning40 #selfcare #settingboundaries #letthemtheory #mentalhealthmatters by @toooldforthisshitblog

Born in Saskatoon — yes, the prairies. The land of wind, wheat, and “character building” winters — I was your classic small-town girl. Cue Journey. I moved around a lot growing up. New town, new school, new personality loading… Please wait. Every time, I told myself, Okay, THIS is it. This is the version of me that’s going to nail it. I’d mentally review my “Why Wasn’t I Popular?” checklist and try to remember the changes. Instead of being sad about leaving friends, schools, and routines, I reframed it as an opportunity. Fresh start! New vibe! Rebrand season! And honestly? That mindset got me pretty far.
But somehow, I was always “the too much girl.”
Too loud. Too emotional. Too intense. Too honest. Just… too. I was the girl no guy asked out.. The girl guys cheated with but never chose. The girl quietly trying to outrun her home-life. Assumptions were made and I was cast aside. My home life wasn’t “bad.” It was just… advanced level. The kind of character-building experience you wouldn’t necessarily volunteer for if you saw the full trailer first. But plot twist: life had bigger plans. It challenged me in ways I never saw coming. The kind of challenges that don’t just test you — they rebuild you. And now? I’m 40. And content. Not popular — content. Turns out, that’s way better. I’ve taken my health into my own hands. I’ve learned to love the woman I’ve become. The situations that once felt random and cruel now make sense. There’s a strange peace in that. Like finally understanding the lesson after failing the test multiple times. Over and over. But plot twist: life had bigger plans. Sure, the Devil still looms. Comparison still whispers. I’ve wrestled with the “should I just try Ozempic?” thoughts. The “if I just did this…” spiral. But comparison is a thief — and I’ve changed the locks. So yeah, I’ll cry the happy tears. And the sad ones. Probably in the same hour. I’ll celebrate how far I’ve come. I’ll own being “too much” — because maybe I was never too much, maybe I was just more than they were ready for ❤️✌🏻 #cheersto40 #40 #thisis40 by @toooldforthisshitblog

I was going to story this… then a quote came up for me… “every restart, every stumble, every “failure” was not wasted. It was proof you are brave enough to try again. That courage is what will carry you further than perfection ever could. “ I have worn the perfection and people pleasing mask for so long. I would be too scared to try new things. I’d have an excuse… #Failure had a hold and if I couldn’t do it… I’d feel shame or #brokenness. #Vertigo and heaviness had a hold and kept me feeling stuck and I was mad at God!. I was mean to my body and maybe that is why it retaliated. But truthfully God taught me to soften, love again and be thankful. So many things don’t feel relevant anymore. The strongholds are starting to break when I have my eyes in him. #christian #godschild #godsgraceisenough by @toooldforthisshitblog

Fall, don't tell Summer I'm low-key stalking the pumpkin spice season... Anyway, hi! I'm Avery, and my life's a zoo - biohacking nerd, health enthusiast, herb aficionado, mom to a mini-me, stepmom to a teen, and dog mom to a snorty Frenchie. Hubby just rolls his eyes, but the dinner parties are lit! Thanks for joining the party!🤪 by @toooldforthisshitblog
