Biography

My life journey has been unique, kind of like a patchwork quilt, a piece from here, a piece from there... Some of those pieces have extra meaning for me, every piece has value, even the most difficult ones. I use a lot of different things to help me stay connected with myself, so I can breathe a bit easier and have steady footing when challenges show up. There's much I could say, I'll put these words to that muchness: "Find you someone who, when the messy snotty tears show up, they don't feel like they have to hand you a kleenex". This simply means they are okay with the messiness and can be with you in a gentle and supportive way and let you be you.

My Recovery Story

For me it is about balance and what that looks like. Life can be challenging, difficulties rise, things get messy. I have routines, tools and supports that help me breathe easier each day.

My Motivation To Help

I came to the understanding "They no longer have power over me" and there was a shift internally that helped me to show up for myself. A very large part of my motivation to be here is that I didn't know peer support existed during the darker times of my life. Feeling alone when struggling with things can be really difficult. Having support that understands and also comes from a space of hope was one of my most valuable resources.
