It sounds cliche - but to show up for myself and my family and to be my own champion every single day. I’ve put others first my whole life, and motherhood magnified that tendency especially during the early years.

To manage my mental health, I made a conscious decision to choose diet, sleep, exercise and meditation over medication. There have been many setbacks along the way, but I'm proud to say I've been making progress and building my resilience. 

We owe it to ourselves first and foremost, and to the people we love, to try and be the best version of ourselves and not give up when the going gets tough. I always remind myself that without crises we wouldn't have any victories
