I am a SAHM of a 2 & 5 year old :) I love being with my children, and my goal is to be a digital nomad and do forest school so that we can continue spending most of our time together. I have overcame a lot of struggles from having C-PTSD, especially within the past 3 years. It was debilitating having toxic relationships with family I thought would help out, and I worked hard to heal and change my mindset. I am overcoming obstacles that have kept me "stuck," such as having no transportation, no way to drive yet until I can afford orthokeratology (as glasses are making the issue worse). I spent most of my time being a single mom who worked part-time jobs when I could find babysitting for my two older children. (I have 4 total. My oldest lives with her grandmother & my second-born passed away when he was 2.) I sold my portraits when I could and went to college for art & screenwriting. Those things were halted twice: once when my oldest child & I had our home broken into and held at gunpoint. Once I got back into college for a time, my second-born became severely disabled after having a traumatic brain injury. I quit college to take care of all of his medical needs. My son passed away sleeping next to me and his sister. While planning the funeral and grieving with family, child protective services interrupted our lives because they "needed to see how" I "dealt with the death of" my son "as a single mother with no support." My family was harassed by them and I was coerced into sending my oldest to stay with family for their "investigation." My daughter was illegally removed from my custody with zero allegations or proof of any neglect or abuse. This was very traumatizing for us both, and even more shocking to my system that my whole identity as a mother was gone almost overnight. At the same time, my family was being stalked by an ex I was trying to get away from and I had to get restraining orders. The chaos was like something from a movie. That was in 2016. Since then, I moved, started working, lived on my own for a time. Then I met a group of artists & musicians who lived together, and they really helped me heal from my loneliness. I fell in love with one of them and we've gone on to have two beautiful babies together :) I have been so blessed to have another son & daughter, and to still have a relationship with my firstborn daughter. That's just a part of the hell I've endured, but I still love life and all the opportunities I have a chance to access :) Today, I fill my days with educational activities with my children, running the online business I just launched, creating art, and doing my best to live a holistic lifestyle with Ayurveda practices. Yoga & health is a core part of my being and has been key to me finding my authentic expression.
