For most of my twenties, I looked like I had it all together.

On social media, I was traveling, successful, and surrounded by people.
But behind the posts? I was spiraling. Anxious. Numb. Overwhelmed.
And deep down, I was constantly afraid I was too much for anyone to love.

When I got diagnosed with ADHD at 31, it finally started to make sense.
Why I overthought every text.
Why I cried when someone canceled plans.
Why I pushed people away the moment they got close.

I started learning about triggers, emotional regulation, and all the ways my brain and body were trying to protect me — but it wasn’t until I met him that everything finally clicked.

Not because he “fixed” me.
But because he stayed.

He didn’t leave when I was irrationally jealous.
He didn’t mock me when I admitted how scared I felt inside.
He listened — even when he didn’t totally understand.

And that gave me something I had never had before:
A safe space to practice being the healthiest version of myself.

Healing Doesn’t Mean Being Perfect

I still had to do the work.
I still had to rewire the way I responded to stress.
I had to learn how to regulate my emotions, set boundaries, and communicate without fear.

But for the first time, I had someone who saw me trying… and didn’t walk away.

That’s why I created the 5-Day Mental Health Workbook Challenge.
It’s a free resource filled with simple, realistic tools that helped me go from spiraling to steady — even during the messiest phases of my healing.

And no, you don’t need a partner to start.
You just need you.
