What Your Kids Need To Know About Nutrition

Welcome!

I'm Katie, a thirty-something mom of three in the Deep South. I'm here to help you live your best life in the ways that make you, YOU. No matter your strong points, we are all in this together. I love to create a beautifully imperfect life, tell my story, break the rules, and to wander as far and as often as possible. Hang around for a laugh (or maybe a cry).

When you’re familiar with chaos, peace can be uncomfortable. (Said every therapist ever.)

In some quiet time lately I can feel my *anticipation* of a feeling trying to drive the bus.

If you notice that too, remind yourself that you’re just here… in this moment… and in this moment you’re actually ok.

I share this every year on World Suicide Preventio

I share this every year on World Suicide Prevention Day.⠀
⠀
We know that suicide is far too common, but sometimes I think the well intended narrative get’s muddied. It blurs the reality of chronic suicidal ideation. ⠀
⠀
For many people, it’s not just a one time occurrence. It’s a state of mind you are prone to fall into when triggered. It may happen on and off forever. It’s not really about who went out of their way to be kind that day, or who smiled at you on the street, or how loved you knew you were or who checked on you. ⠀
⠀
What saved my life was self-awareness, honest vocalization of crisis to people close to me, relentless pursuit of mental health care through a Psychiatrist and Therapist, adjusting triggering parts of my lifestyle like sleep deprivation and overwhelm with my kids, and having a crisis plan (like removing things from the home that were in my ideations). ⠀
⠀
It wasn’t… someone who smiled at me in the grocery store. ⠀
⠀
Depression doesn’t care who says they want you to stay or who sends an “I love you” text. It’s unbearable pain and it erases all rational thought. Suicidal thoughts, expressions, and attempts must be treated seriously. ⠀
⠀
People who idealize leaving their reality by means of death need help- immediately and long term. ⠀
⠀
The highest risk of suicide is between 9 and 12 months postpartum. Maternal suicide is the leading cause of postpartum death in multiple developed countries, and possibly the US- however, our country does not report maternal suicide rates. It’s important to know these facts, but more important to understand that this is a preventable crisis. We can all bring our stories into the light to help reduce stigma and spread awareness.
⠀
If you or someone you know needs help, call the PSI warmline at 800-944-4773. If you are in crisis, text HOME to 741741 from anywhere in the US at any time. The National Suicide Prevention hotline can also be reached at: 800-273-8255.⠀

I’m deep into the season of being outside as much as possible, especially for hikes! But as much as I love and look forward to this time of year... it also is summer: a season *full* of environmental migraine triggers for me. Too much sun, too much heat, too much exertion... any of those factors can trigger my migraine attacks.

One thing I make sure to pack in my hiking bag on long days when I’ll be outside is Nurtec® ODT (rimegepant) 75 mg, in case a migraine attack strikes. @NurtecODT is the only migraine medication proven to treat and prevent migraine attacks—all-in-one. And it helps to take away my migraine pain. I’ve been prescribed it for a few years now and I feel more confident I can get migraine pain relief when I have it on hand. It’s a bonus how convenient it is that it can be taken whenever or wherever you are!* It dissolves in seconds without the need for water. It can treat a migraine attack fast (in 2 hours).

Speak with a doctor to learn more about Nurtec ODT and head to nurtec.com to learn more.

*The safety of using more than 18 doses in a 30-day period has not been established. Store NURTEC ODT at controlled room temperature (68°F to 77°F) with excursions permitted between 59°F to 86°F.

Individual results may vary. Prescription only.

Nurtec ODT is for the acute treatment of migraine and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. Select Safety Information: Do not take if allergic to Nurtec ODT. Allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. Allergic reactions include trouble breathing, rash, and swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or throat. Most common side effects were nausea (2.7%) and indigestion/stomach pain (2.4%). See full Approved Uses and Important Safety Information included in the image carousel. Intended for US audiences only. #ad

I hate how hard it is to stay caught up on healthcare needs without insurance in this country. (That’s a whole other post.)

But I’ve never been more grateful for a full time job with benefits and regular, predictable paychecks.

Getting caught up on my health feels nice.

@lindsayrutland and I conquered #erastour LA Night 5!

Yes, this was my third Eras concert. Please don’t hate me. I just got lucky during presale and also have friends that love me and wanted me to be their +1.

If you haven’t been and want to go I’m so hoping you are able to on the next leg! It’s an indescribable experience… Swiftie or not. 🫶

Are you taking time to see what companies are more

Are you taking time to see what companies are more than performative when it comes to LGBTQ+ Pride?

It is something that I honestly overlooked in the past, but I am glad that it’s become standard for brands to be transparent with that accountability.

T-Mobile truly embraces diversity and mobilizes in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Beyond just showing up at the parades (like the Atlanta one I saw them march in) they are committed to supporting organizations that provide technology and essential resources to underserved communities, like @glsen and @humanrightscampaign.

It’s safe to say @tmobile and I have the same mantra: we are stronger together when we embrace diversity. Agree? 🏳️‍🌈

Let me just say I’ve done a lot of local pop up exhibitions and this one was THE coolest. If you have a kid interested in dinosaurs or anyone interested in the Jurassic Park movies- the @jurassicworldexhibition in ATL at Pullman Yards is a MUST do this summer.

Everything was an in-character, cinematic quality experience but in real life. I can’t say enough good things! Here are some highlights and I’ll link to tickets in my stories. 🦖🦕

I don’t have words for #tstheerastour on Sunday.

It was so magical and beautiful. Not just because it was her first concert or because she loves Taylor Swift and I do too… but for so many bigger soul healing reasons that I’m not sure I could articulate yet.

So, I’ll just leave this video here, for now.
