Today I’m about to let you in on what has been going on with me behind the scenes and under the hood, because I set intentions earlier this year that I want to follow up on. 

If there’s anything you should know about me, it’s that I am passionate about normalizing normal, sharing my own personal growth and struggles, letting you be partners with me in my evolution, and elevating other women to help them reach their fullest potential.

let’s get in to where i’ve been and where i’m at today in my own process.

I’ve been going through a dark night of the soul for the past couple of years, but specifically since December of 2022. My depression worsened and I have been committed to doing all of the things to help myself – movement, nutrition, energy work, supplements, meditation, personal healing, the works. Unfortunately, all of the things haven’t entirely helped, so I have now revisited mental health medication. 

Now let’s remember friends - there will be cases when our mental health outweighs our self-help tools, and while it can suck, it’s okay!

It is more than okay to take mental health medication if you need it. There isn’t one right way to support yourself. I’ve only been on this new medication for two weeks and I feel like myself again. 

Now cycling back to my previous intentions this year – I had mentioned that I wanted to downshift for the summer time. I was going to work less, meditate more, spend more quality time with my daughter, focus less on expansion of my business and more on supporting where we already are, clear my schedule so I could hone in on the things that matter, and gain more clarity on who I am. It’s in those spaces and places that I tend to download what’s next for me, and I am happy to let you know that that is exactly what’s been happening. It’s been hard, but I have taken a deep dive into my faith that everything is happening when it’s supposed to. 

In this time I have been percolating and reprogramming, which has led me to re-venturing into my mental health medication.

The second that I allowed that help in, I started coming into contact with certain people, places, and things that have flooded me with new ideas and frequencies.

The unperfected brand is growing, expanding, and elevating, and you can expect that big, beautiful things will be birthed later this year. 

Since getting back on the medication, being even more intentional about my energy, taking care of myself and aligning myself with the frequency of my core values again, I’ve been able to unlock new ventures that I am thrilled about. This brings me to a gentle reminder for you:

mental health and energy intersect with each other, and it is never one or the other.

You are deserving and worthy of every possibility just by being born, and while our mental health can pull us in different directions, it’s no different than any other area of life that we navigate in the human experience. Mental health does not disqualify us and we need to come back to taking care of ourselves even when times are hard. We have to go through the hard things to build our resilience and know what we’re made of. 

So my friends – whether it’s related to energy, mental health, leadership, or anything else – it’s all one in the same. It’s about consciousness, regulating our nervous system, and building ourselves for the greater good. I’ve been told that you have to choose a lane and I’m calling bullshit on that. Let’s get with the updated program, work from the inside out, and get to our bigger creation. Where can you start looking outside of the box?

Let’s continue supporting each other on this journey of healing, becoming, and thriving, because that is what it’s really about.

Take care of yourselves and therefore each other!
