“Never lose your wonder as you wander through life”

Welcome to my place.

The place where I share the tools of self-care I’ve learned in my life.

I am a current 2nd-year Grad-Student studying Social Work and Counseling and my goal is to become a Clinical Licensed Social Work Therapist so I can help kids work through trauma and create a better life. The purpose of this blog is to promote well-being and share what I am learning along the way, specifically about therapy, counseling, self-care, self-worth,  self-improvement, recovery from trauma and building better relationships. I often write using examples from either my life experiences or examples from movies. I share my education, training and experience in a few categories: Parenting Tips, Self-Care and Well-being, Navigating Relationships, Spiritual Encouragement, Navigating trauma and Advocacy. 

 Life Skills With Littles Working as a child therapist often has me working with kids ranging from 2 to 8. So, this is where I share parenting tips for caregivers who have young kids and would love to learn therapeutic techniques or just simple advice to use with their kids. I also share kid-friendly activities ranging from art therapy to play therapy that you can use to engage your kids and build new skills, such as self-confidence, self-regulation, self-exploration, and understanding their emotions.

The Wonder of Self-Care  is all about self-care tools I am learning, it’s more tailored towards women, introverts, dreamers, artists, rebels, writers, and imagineers. But it’s also helpful for anyone who wants to learn more about self-improvement and bettering their lives. In this category, I write about understanding the self and boosting self-worth. I also am a strong advocate for teaching others to value and love themselves, which I believe comes from being kind to yourself, and knowing who you are and what you need.

 Navigating Topsy-Turvy Relationships This section is all about creating better relationships based on the skills I am learning in my counseling, psychology and social work courses.  I also share relationship tips I’ve learned myself in therapy, and growth based on my personal experiences regarding human connection.

Inspiration and Spiritual Encouragement Who says science and spirituality can’t coexist? This is where I share things I’ve learned from the spirit and from prayer. And sometimes I combine it with the psychology and/or science I’m learning in Grad School. My hope is that it encourages you, uplifts you and challenges you to grow, just like it does for me.

Finding Well-being From Trauma Sometimes life comes at you hard, so this section is all about dealing with the hard stuff. These are often based on personal experiences or techniques I’ve learned in school and therapy. My hope is that I can help those who are dealing with trauma as I encourage them to be vulnerable, be brave, and take it one day at a time.

Self-love Leads To Advocacy This section is about advocacy, once you learn how to love yourself, you can help others do so as well. But make sure you are full before you pour into others. In order to advocate and raise your voice on behalf of others it’s best to find healing and experience self-love for yourself. To be the best advocate for others, first become your own self-advocate by learning how to stand up for yourself and take responsibility for your life. Once you experience wholeness, healing, self-love, and self-determination, then you’ll be at your best capacity to offer your voice to empower the voiceless and the marginalized.

Thanks for stopping by!
