It’s been 3 months since I went on an SSRI for anx It’s been 3 months since I went on an SSRI for anxiety.

I had this moment yesterday while I was sitting with my grandma, brother, and nephew. This feeling of pure bliss. And also realizing how far I’ve come in my anxiety journey.

We were eating lunch outside. The food was great. The view was perfect. There was a slight breeze. And I was in awe of thinking about my grandma hanging out with her great grandson.

I thought about how I was feeling a year ago right now. Anything outside of my usual life routine in nyc often times resulted in bad anxiety.

I didn’t realize how much my anxiety had taken from me. But then I have a day like yesterday where I can *feel* just how different I feel.

If you’re struggling know that you’re not the only one 💗 And it does get better. Little by little.

NYC Marathon Round-Up: Race Recaps, Resources and Tips

Happy marathon week, NYC!

 

It’s insane for me to think that 4 years ago right now I was gearing up to run the NYC marathon. To say it was one of the most magical days of my life would be an understatement. Words fail when trying to sum up just how special the NYC Marathon is.

I have a few friends running the marathon this year and wanted to put together a big round-up of race recaps, tips, and resources for the big day. I know for me reading race recaps ended up being so helpful — it got me so so so excited for race day.

If you’re running the NYC marathon this weekend know this: the hard part is over. You’ve done your training. Now all that’s left is staying calm, staying focus and eating ALL the pasta before you run 26.2 miles around this glorious city 💗

Come with me for a solo evening to go see The Outs Come with me for a solo evening to go see The Outsiders: A New Musical on Broadway (#ad)

As a former theater major who now works in the book industry, I was especially excited to see this book to musical adaptation on Broadway. I remember loving the book in middle school and I was absolutely blown away seeing the musical. My jaw literally dropped at some points, I was so in awe. 

 @outsidersmusical is now playing at the Jacobs Theatre on Broadway. Be sure to get your tickets at outsidersmusical.com or via the link in my bio.
