Welcome, overcomer

It’s a great day for vulnerability. Come here my messy, unfiltered story

my story

I’m Lindsey- I love authentic relationships (the ones where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay), I despise small talk, and a pretzel from sonic will always make my day better 🙂

 

I’m pretty sure that when people make a first impression of me, they don’t think I was a child of divorce who fought narcissism and emotional abuse on a daily basis. 

 

I am convinced that the good Lord gave me a hard story so that I can walk with other people through it (whatever “it” is). 

 

People’s jaws usually drop when I tell them my mom died of suicide a few months after I turned 18.

 

It is one thing to talk to someone about the really HARD stuff… and another to be validated by someone who has been through the agonizing pain- or something similar. 

 

Can I get an AMEN?!

 

Have you experienced the absolute dumpster fire that is our family court system? Maybe you have dealt with DCF.

 

My mission with this blog is to help you feel a little more sane and a lot more capable 

How I got here…

Throughout my childhood, I dreamt of being a social worker who would save the world! 

 

And then I got my social work degree and realized I was COMPLETELY delusional. 

 

After a 12-week master’s internship with 28 of my own clients, all day back to back sessions, and 10-hour days… I. was. out. 

 

My “why” for going into social work was to spark hope and make purposeful change. After tiptoeing around the strict “dos” and “don’ts” of a social work office, I realized this was not for me.  

 

And that brings me here. I refuse to let grief, emotional abuse, and the nauseating family court system exist in silence. 

 

Let’s talk about it. 

 

Are you ready to go into battle together?

What you can expect from me

Real stories from my life- stories of overcoming the gaslighting and manipulation. 

Resources that will move you towards healing 

 

Examples of how I moved from debilitating bitterness to freedom

 

Relatable content about emotional abuse, narcissism, broken relationships, the realities of the family court system, and losing someone due to suicide.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You have a hard time talking to friends about how hard things are because nobody “gets it”
  • The system that was supposed to bring justice and hope left you exhausted and broken
  • You feel like you are the only person on planet earth who knows what XYZ is like
  • You crave the hope that healing is possible
  • Your energy is depleted, and your capacity for relationships is low 

 

Are you nodding your head right now? You are in the right place, and I am here to help.

Let’s do this thing!
