Navigating Your Partner's Mental Health Journey: A Guide for the Soulful Woman

Hey there, lovely souls!


Let's dive into a topic that's close to many of our hearts: supporting our partners through their mental health challenges. It's not always an easy road, but with a little patience, understanding, and a whole lot of love, we can be the guiding light for our partners when they need it most.


I'll start off with a personal story because, well, that's just how we roll here keeping it real and relatable. So, picture this: there I was, in the midst of what felt like a never-ending cycle of frustration with my partner. Every little thing seemed to set me off, from forgotten chores to missed calls. But then, in a moment of clarity, it hit me like a ton of organic, fair-trade bricks—he couldn't help it. Those quirks that drove me up the wall weren't intentional annoyances; they were manifestations of his own mental health struggles. It was a lightbulb moment that led me down a path of understanding, compassion, and growth.


Now, I won't sugarcoat it—supporting a partner through mental health challenges isn't always rainbows and unicorns. It takes work, dedication, and a whole lot of self-awareness. That's right, ladies, I said self-awareness. Because here's the thing: the most important way we can support our partners is by taking care of ourselves first. It's like they say on every flight—secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others. We can't pour from an empty cup, and trying to do so only leads to burnout, resentment, and a whole heap of unnecessary drama.


So, what does taking care of ourselves look like in the realm of supporting our partners? It means prioritizing our own mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It means setting boundaries, asking for what we need, and recognizing when we need a little extra support ourselves. It means embracing our own journey of self-discovery and growth, because when we show up as the best versions of ourselves, we create space for our partners to do the same.


And hey, I'm all about practical solutions, so here's a little nugget of wisdom for you: head on over to my FB shoppe for products that support us and our partners in our mental health journeys. Whether it's cozy self-care goodies, mindfulness tools, or relationship resources, you'll find everything you need to nourish your soul and support your partner along the way.

Remember, darling, you are capable, you are worthy, and you are never alone on this journey.


You are so so loved,

3 Passive Income Ideas for ADHD Brains

Why Securing Passive Income is Essential for People with ADHD If you have ADHD, you already know the world isn’t built for brains like ours. Between juggling new ideas, hyperfocus sprints, and then hitting that wall where your interest fizzles out entirely, keeping a traditional full-time job feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. For me, it was a constant cycle of starting a new job, being all-in, loving the rush of something new, and then… "bam", the honeymoon phase would end. I’d find myself mentally checked out, and then it’s like pulling teeth to stay engaged. Eventually, I’d leave and the cycle would repeat. This made it nearly impossible for me to stay in one place, let alone thrive in the structure of a 40-hour workweek. I was burning out fast because self-care, like getting enough sleep or taking mental health days, just didn’t fit in with that lifestyle. And when I tried starting my own business, I was met with another beast: consistency. Being the...

The Power of Forgiveness in Relationships: How Letting Go Can Take Your Love to the Next Level

The Power of Forgiveness in Relationships: How Letting Go Can Take Your Love to the Next Level Okay, real talk: relationships are hard. I’m not just talking about the big, dramatic fights, either. It’s the small things—like your partner forgetting to grab your favorite snack (again) or leaving the toilet seat up after you’ve asked a thousand times. These little annoyances can stack up faster than the laundry you both avoid folding. But here’s the secret sauce that keeps everything from falling apart:  forgiveness . Yup, I said it. The F-word. Not the one you scream into a pillow when you’re mad, but the one that actually makes your relationship stronger, more connected, and—dare I say—happier. Forgiveness isn’t about being a doormat, either. It’s about creating space for both of you to be human (which, spoiler alert, includes messing up sometimes). So, let’s break down three types of forgiveness that can transform your relationship from “meh” to magical. 1.  Everyday Forgivene...
