In a world that constantly pushes us to fit in, standing firm in our convictions is a radical act of courage. As a visually impaired advocate and follower of faith, I'm learning to embrace God's truth over societal expectations 🙏 For those with #disabilities like myself, setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care isn't selfish – it's survival. 👀 #Neuroscience shows trauma stores in our bodies (thanks to the Omega-3s and hippocampus!), impacting our responses. Recognizing triggers and leaning on faith helps me stand firm. #BlindAdvocacy #MentalHealthMatters #Convictions God is bigger than the Boogeyman He's bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV oh God is bigger than the Boogeyman and he's watching out for you and me 👉 #veggietales

Why honest conversations at work matter

Opening up about mental health at work can feel terrifying, but sometimes, just one supportive comment can change everything. After years of hiding my bipolar disorder, I finally told a co-worker the truth during a tough episode—and instead of judgment, I got kindness. That moment made me realize how much we all need understanding, not just in our personal lives but in our workplaces too. Success isn’t always about climbing the career ladder; sometimes it’s about finding stability and being seen for who you really are. Have you ever shared something personal at work?
