Years ago, I used to watch How I Met Your Mother on a daily basis. I first discovered that show when the re-runs would come on during the hour between my other two shows. While I was waiting for the New Adventures of Old Christine to come on, I would watch How I Met … More Divorce Diaries (Part 4: I took a page out of Ted Mosby’s book)
         I don’t know why, but I never realized how much childhood trauma could affect your adult relationships. Our childhood is critical when it comes to our development and who we become as adults. Whether good or bad, our experiences and environment shape and mold us into who we become. If you are someone with … More Loving Someone Harder Will Not Heal Their Past Trauma!
I came across an old post I wrote back in 2020. The post was about seeing things clearly and how 2020 was the year of clear vision. Fast-forward to now, 2020 has nothing on 2024. This year has been an eye-opening year for sure. It’s like we’re seeing a lot of people’s (and organizations’) … More 2024: The Year of Reveal. (When Push comes to Shove!) Blogmas #4
         Recently I watched a video of Jay Shetty’s Podcast on YouTube. There was a love expert (Stephan Labossiere) on there who spoke on love and relationships, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (I will link the video down below). The discussion was filled with gems and my first thought was how I need to write … More Watch this Before You Start Dating!
Lately I’ve been having a hard time realizing that people may see my marriage as a reason not to get married. I never pretend that something is perfect when it’s not, but I don’t want to be a walking poster for anti-marriage either. If you skim my socials, you might think my life is … More We’re Not Couple Goals and That’s Okay! (Marriage is Not for the Weak)
Which is worse? Failing or never trying? This question used to be so simple. The answer seemed so obvious. Never trying would be the worse choice of course. Now, I look at it slightly differently. I still feel that never trying is still the worst choice someone can make for the most part. However, … More To Fail or To Never Try? (That’s the question. What’s the answer?)
In my last post I talked about the red flags when dealing with two-faced friends (or should I say Frenemies). Growing up I wish I caught on to all the signs that were in front of me, but I guess that’s what life experience is about (learning and gaining wisdom). For the most part, … More 3 Potential Red Flags that you Might Stumble Upon Before the First Date.
Today I was thinking a lot about romance movies and shows based on love and relationships. I’ve noticed that a lot of people would say that they hate romance stories because they’re so unrealistic. They feel like it showcases a false sense of what relationships/marriages are really like (especially years in). I will say … More Does Romance Movies have a negative effect on our Love Life?

Today I was feeling a little curious about enneagram types and their best relationship matches. This past December I made two posts about finding out what my enneagram number was and how I felt about it. It was very accurate. I would say about 90% accurate. There were things that I didn’t like, and … More Love & Enneagrams (Are Some Enneagram Types Doomed to Fail in Relationships?)
Recently I read Declutter Your Mind: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety, and Eliminate Negative Thinking. It was a good read. What surprised me the most, was the fact that most of things the book suggested I already do. Some things I’ve been doing since the summer of last year, and other things I’ve added … More Declutter Your Mind!
