thank you so much, Jasmine. it means a lot that you read it. and yes… since when did wellness turn into “buy this, buy that”? that’s a much bigger conversation. social media has definitely shaped that in a lot of ways. i’m really grateful i gave myself the space to be honest and step away when i needed to. i miss the community i had on instagram, but choosing myself felt important. i hope you’re having a lovely friday. x

this is such a good reminder, especially in seasons like this, that real care is so much simpler and more personal than instagram or any other metric-heavy social platform can make it.

sending you so much love <3

i couldn’t agree more! granted, i know that there are some things i’ll need to work on deeper but this first step was everything and enough for me to see that it’s going to be okay. 🫶🏽

It is brave to share. It is brave to admit what feels right. And it's brave to slow down when your mind wants to just plow forward.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I've been there...twice and it's always a bit humbling to look back on those years and what was said, what wasn't said and what I expected of myself and my husband and I expected of our lives. Virtual hugs.

thank you so much for this, Kalee. it really means a lot. i’m so sorry you’ve had to go through it too, especially twice. it really does make you look back on so much differently. no one can really prepare you for something like this. learning to let go of expectations in this season has been such a vital part of my healing. sending you hugs right back. x
