I’ve officially completed two full months of weekly therapy and daily Lexapro. After turning 30 this past December, I was desperate for a full rebrand. Protecting my peace has become my main priority and I’m choosing me first. Although I spent all of January excessively yawning throughout the day, I can finally say the meds…

Today my therapist asked me to name 3 things I love about myself. I’m quite mortified by how difficult I struggled to answer the question. Truthfully, I felt so overwhelmed by the question I came up with 3 things I’m not even sure about. So, I owe it to myself to find more things to…

I care a lot about what people think about me. I tend to judge myself harshly, and fear that others do too. It’s challenging to process, because I realize people really aren’t paying attention to me. But projecting is my guilty pleasure. My insecurities always feel more substantial than they appear. Self-awareness can be quite…

I woke up to the beautiful sight of snow. Yesterday my family impatiently waited for the snow, and it didn’t fall until late last night. I’ve spent most of my life living in warmer climates: Florida, Okinawa, Texas. All I know is heat. I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but something about the…

This week has been exhausting. I started Lexapro a few weeks ago, and my energy levels haven’t caught up yet. But I’m trusting the process, and giving myself grace. The cool weather makes it challenging for me to go outside, and I know I need some fresh air. It’s actually supposed to snow tomorrow, so…

According to my therapist, manifestation works both positively and negatively. Simply put, the words we speak matter. The way we talk about ourselves become who we are. There’s value in intentionality. I have a bad habit of subconsciously self-loathing; I’ve been a big bully to myself. I don’t always give myself grace, and honestly, it’s…

My therapist gave me a homework assignment: 30 minutes of journaling through my blog daily. The primary goal is to figure out my identity. Who is the Tranquil Trophy Wife? And what exactly would I like my life to look like? Because I’m the author of my life’s book, and I get to make it…

I’ve had vivid dreams for as long as I can remember. I always assume it’s because of my anxious personality, overthinking tendencies, and general fear of just about everything. Anyone else an enneagram 6? Last night I had a dream I was back in Orlando, where I grew up. I was out with my sister,…

Today’s my birthday! This is actually my favorite holiday because I get to spend the entire day doing what I want without feeling guilty. Typically, this doesn’t mean much because I have two young kids that don’t quite understand that I’m not just mama. But now that I’m 30, I’m ready to show them that…

I hosted 12 people for Thanksgiving 2025, and although my feet are exhausted, my heart is so full. As a military family, we move every 3 years. We’ve been blessed enough to be stationed near family for the past 5 years. Which is well appreciated since we spent time overseas, and in Texas. But it’s…
