About Me

A few weeks ago, I noticed I was yawning during the day—which is not like me. I give my body plenty of sleep and rest. But by 2 p.m., I was tired—deep in my bones, in a hard-to-describe way. I wanted to fall asleep, and by 4:30 p.m., I found myself dozing, watching TV. Something was off. I went to bed crazy early, giving my body what it was asking for. 

Then my heart rate started climbing. I could feel my blood pulsing in my veins. The overnight stats on my Oura Ringtold me my resting heart rate was about 10 points higher than average. My HRV (heart rate variability—see definition below) was dipping well below my baseline. One morning it even asked, “How are you feeling today?” and suggested I take it easy. 

There are things we think about doing and then talk ourselves out of. But ever since I said yes to ketamine, it’s been a full-on hell yes. No doubts. No second-guessing. No “shouldn’t spend the money” narrative. No fear.

Just clarity. Which, to me, is the clearest sign: this is what I need. This is what’s going to change everything.

Yes, ketamine is a psychedelic. And yes, it’s legal through a doctor here in Ohio.

A year ago, I started drinking cacao every day—not just as a wellness trend, but as a spiritual path. Plant medicines have power. I believe that. Many would agree. Cacao helped me begin to reconnect with the version of myself I had lost somewhere along the way—the real me, the expressive me, the one who had been conditioned out of existence by family expectations, peer pressure, and the need to belong. And amazingly, got me off my anxiety meds FOREVER.
