            Bio
Going through a lot right now while taking care of my mom who was diagnosed with dementia in 2018. Just trying to figure out how to balance taking care of myself at the same time since life likes to throw several challenges at me at once to test my resilience. So far so good, but I know if I don't figure out this self- care, it won't last much longer. It's hard to self-care when all you know is putting everyone before yourself as I've done all my life. Can't help but feel somewhat selfish yet deep down inside I know it's not. Talk about cognitive dissonance...
