The Journey is the Solution
Why the Path Through Anxiety Leads to Your True Self

The journey from anxiety and alcohol abuse to happy and thriving has taken me a full 20 years. I spent most of my 20s and 30s terrified of having panic attacks and not trusting my body.

"The link between perceived femininity and homosexuality within patriarchal norms is a particularly potent and often damaging phenomenon for men. Growing up, there was nothing worse than being labeled “gay,” though we used a more derogatory term in the 90s and early 2000s."

This has been the most raw post I've written yet. It started as a therapy exercise and I decided to share it with the world.

It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

I just re-read the full Declaration of Independence. It's the most illuminating and depressing thing I've read in a while. Highly recommend folks give it a read.
Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.

I went to a weekend somatic workshop in Austin a couple months ago and one of the tools I walked away with was the double inhale breath. It can help yourself relax and take your anxiety/stress levels down. I do it at the first signs of anxiety and it definitely helps. #anxiety #anxietyrelief

This video took off on #TikTok with lots of support, but also lots of “it’s called self control” snarky comments. I’ve been sober five years. I understand there is some self control built in there, but the dopamine reward system is very powerful. For those struggling, I see you. #sober #sobriety
