Let me introduce myself. I am a middle aged, work-from-home wife and mom. More accurately I am a 40 something who feels alternately 20 something or 60 something depending on the day. Every morning I have to remind myself it is not okay to drive my kids to school in pajamas. You will often find me in a ponytail and no make-up making sweet small talk with the elderly people in the line in front of me at the grocery store because life is short and you might as well be kind. I write like my soul depends on it during the day, help with homework and watch Netflix with my husband and kids in the evening, and then eat chocolate and read until late into the night.

I am also a woman who for years was a stressed out, burned out, anxious mess. Now I am a woman who seeks to live a life that can be fully and deeply lived.
