If you are craving more, desiring something real, and deep, and authentic – you’re in the right place.

Grow Mama Grow was born from this craving. Here, we explore all things personal recovery, growth and evolvement – all while relating it to our motherhood. We go deep, because we need it and the world needs it now more than ever.

When I was a child I thought I could save the world. It makes perfect sense that I studied social work in my undergrad. I have always been so passionate about women’s experiences and struggles, so my focus was on gender studies. Following graduation, I immediately went on to earn my MSW by the age of 23.

For the last decade, I have been focused on work. Not only in my career, but on a deep personal level as well. Alongside personal therapy and psycholanalysis, I have worked as an advocate, coordinator, counselor, and coach all of my adult life. I have worked in foster care, adoption services, domestic violence, criminal justice, drug and alcohol recovery, infertility… the list goes on.

There has been one common denominator, and no one is exempt.

We are human BEings, not human DOings.

And yet, we are all trying to do our way out of the most fundamental thing that reminds us we are alive…

FEEL.

If I had to guess, you are here because you are on your personal growth journey too. Maybe you’re just getting started, or maybe you’ve been walking this journey a while now.

Regardless of where you are in your recovery, the most important thing I want you to know is that you are not alone.

We are all just trying to figure this life thing out and no one really knows what they are doing.

I make mistakes every single day. My house very likely needs to be cleaned right now and I have a running mental to-do list of 100+ things and counting… So it is to be human in our modern world.

I won’t promise you much, but what I can promise is that here, there is no finish line. There is no quick or magic fix. There will not be a perfect formula offered to you.

If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, hypervigilliance, splitting, a modern psychology diagnosis or a major classified disorder, loneliness or anything similiar, there is nothing wrong with you. You are a human BEing, not a human DOing.

On the blog, and in all I offer, we explore the endless unfolding that is personal growth and recovery.

We are cycle breakers.

We do the hard things because our little ones depend on it. We own where we are and who we are, including the messy middle, so we can heal.

I hope you find something helpful here for you and can’t wait to see you along the way!
