Hire Me
I have a strong message of hope, survival, and acceptance that I want to share with the world. My blog spreads my message but I want to take it one step further and deliver my truth in person.
Despite my social anxiety, I have a passion for public speaking and would love to speak at your event, conference, school etc. I also make videos, write articles, act as a guest blogger, and create art for commission.

Website Testimonials
“This post is like a punch to the stomach, in the sense that it stunned me into a realization of “that’s it, that’s exactly it.” I never thought about it in those words before and it’s making my head spin. All this in a good way; thank you.” ~ Kate
“I love your blog. I read it when I most need to. <3 Thanks for your beautiful prose about mental illness.” ~ @clairereads on twitter
“You’re giving courage, and that’s a good thing. Also, you do it with capital letters, periods, and a strong voice, therefore I appreciate this little corner of grammatically correct internet.” ~ Kaitlin
“I can’t believe the courage you have not only to share your story but to keep living. I find myself within your story…Thank you for doing what you are doing because it is making it easier to be in the here and now.” ~ Anonymous
“You are a beautiful woman, with a beautiful mind. The voices inside that asseverate your faults only state the truth of a beautiful person. A real person… [in] looking for words from people who understand pain and the search for beauty in a difficult world I found your blog and your words speak to me deeply.” ~ Evan
“I’ve suffered with mental health problems for a long time and I’m currently not in treatment, and not doing well as a result, but reading your posts and hearing about your experiences does help. Just feeling like I’m not alone, and seeing so much of my own experiences in what you write, is really helpful. I feel inspired to get back into some sort of treatment as soon as I can, because I don’t want to live like this anymore, and I want to get better.” – Sian
“You’ve restored my faith in the Universe!! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there! Lately, I been feeling like a broken freak who can’t open up or relate to anyone. You remind me so much of myself, you’re even a crafter. That makes me feel better about having to go out into the world.” ~ Kelly
“You are an inspiration. Thanks for being such a REAL and solid person. I love your blog, and words can’t describe how much it helps me sometimes.” ~ Laura Ricker, This Is How My Day Goes
