What’s New With Me:
The latest from my world—I started writing again to help me navigate my early days of sobriety. It gave me purpose. What began as a way to ground myself turned into two cookbooks—crafted while creating recipes in the kitchen with my family. It helped me reconnect with them in a way I didn’t even realize I needed.
Then, writing evolved into something more. I started sharing my thoughts on wellness, frustrated by the flood of misinformation out there. I needed people to know—it’s not that complicated. From there, it became even bigger: sharing my real life, the struggles, the lessons learned, and the mistakes I’ve made along the way (and trust me, there are a lot).
Most recently, I found out I have autism, ADHD, and CPTSD. That revelation has been a wild ride—equal parts overwhelming and enlightening. So, buckle up, because a titanic load of articles on neurodivergence is coming your way.
What About the Podcast?
Crunchy Culture is hitting pause on the podcast—for now. 🎙️
While podcasting was fun, it wasn’t fueling me in the way I had hoped. Writing is where my heart is, and I’ve decided to focus on that passion. But if you prefer listening over reading, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Now, when you open an article you’d love to hear, simply look to the upper right corner and hit the play button. The article will be read aloud to you!
So, while the podcast is taking a break, I’m still bringing content to you in an audible way. Stay tuned for more! ✨
Either way, you know I’ll keep things spicy. Stay tuned, stay nourished, and stay fabulous.
