The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship

March 29, 2020 By Deb B. 12 Comments

What is the impact of social distancing on marriage and how can we keep things running smoothly at home?The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comWho would’ve ever thought that being cooped up with your spouse (with or without kiddos), in the same house, for an indefinite amount of time, could question the integrity your relationship? Well it does. And in spades.

Under any other circumstance, maintaining a healthy relationship while living under the same roof isn’t completely unheard of. That’s why you hear wonderful stories of long lasting marriages that stand the test of time. But how often does that same healthy relationship experience a forced situation where they are obligated to stay together, all day, everyday with no end date in sight? Surely, any healthy relationship would face its challenges given these circumstances. Be it, a parent-children relationship, siblings, housemates, and perhaps the most challenged – live in partners, particularly those bound together by marriage. To be told that your entire routine of going to work, dropping off the kids, dividing and conquering, having your own individual lives, and reconvening at the end of the day was going to be completely disrupted, is enough to question the status quo of any healthy relationship. Sure, it sounds easy on paper. But actually living through it – coupled with increased levels of anxiety and other mental health concerns, it would be naive to think a marriage could survive social distancing without it’s inevitable challenges. 

Here are some practical ways to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner and getting your marriage to bounce back from all this crazy.

FINDING THE FUNNY AMIDST THE SERIOUS

One thing that has always worked for my hubs and I is that we make light of even the most serious of situations. And you don’t have to tell me twice – this global pandemic is indeed, serious. But sharing a silly gif that only you and your partner can relate to, watching an old Conan dance routine, putting on a hat 10 times too small, or playing a good ol’ fashioned prank… anything that gets us laughing again, can only do good for any relationship. Moments of humor may be short lived and few and far between – but it’s there for the taking. You just have find it.

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comJust don’t start a food (or toilet paper) fight, because well… now is not exactly the time to waste your resources.

HAVE A DATE NIGHT

You will most likely have limited access to your go-to favorite dine-in restaurant at this time, so why not improvise and order take out (hello local business support!), kick it up a notch outfit-wise, slap on a couple shades of red lip, and immerse yourself in some date night fun? We all need some one-on-one time with our partners, especially when there are kids involved – just to check in with one another, or simply to enjoy some much needed, meaningful adult conversation. Do you remember the last time you actually made time to do this? Other than the explosive dishes and the inevitable playroom overwhelm, I bet your level of “too busy to hang out” is at the lowest it’s ever been.

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comSo hang out! Talk about your goals for yourselves, each other, your family. What about that bucket list you’ve been meaning to update? Your next trip to Disneyland and how you can save up some funds and look forward to having some fun? Remember, this stay home campaign will end at some point, so there is no harm in planning for the future – especially if it involves Mickey Mouse, am I right? Maybe in between delectable bites of that sweet n sour pork chop, you can bring up some of the topics that you’ve been postponing for months like how the family needs to rework some of the chores and coming up with a new creative chore strategy over dessert. 

They say food is everyone’s love language. So take this opportunity to wine, dine, and hash it out. 

WORK ON YOUR FRIENDSHIP

Nothing brings two people closer than facing a challenge together. Learning to cope when faced with trials and developing a go-team-go mentality is one of the best ways to reignite a friendship. In any given friendship, the idea of knowing you have your person that you can be completely transparent with, can only do good for all parties involved. A trust is formed or rekindled, maybe one that is deeper than if it was based on romance alone. As parents and housemates, it’s easy to lose that friendship spark because everything becomes all about the logistics, and we are met with the challenges of responsibility and limitations of a tight schedule. The best way to handle a loss of intimacy or to manage unavoidable confrontations is to get back to the basics. Love on each other from a deeper level of friendship and understanding, and the rest will follow suit. 

One thing is for sure – I have never been as in line with my husband as I am now that we’ve learned the art of rationing hand sanitizer and toilet paper…

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comThe Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comENJOY A DRINK TOGETHER (or other vices)

Shhh… don’t tell George I told you – but he’s got a bit of a soft spot for train wreck reality shows. Okay… he pretty much hates most of them – but he has completely found himself entangled in the dramatics and obsession of all that is Bachelor Nation. When all of this talk of lockdowns and self isolation was slowly making its way into our country, he would spend hours reading and obsessing over trending tweets. But he never let a Monday night pass without shutting down his iPad, making us a plate of nachos, and immersing ourselves in Pete the Pilot and his journey of love. For that mere hour (or 3) we managed to successfully replace our worries with Pete the Pilot’s worries, and voila! Temporary bliss, and good ol’ fashioned entertainment. Doing it together made the experience that much sweeter. 

So enjoy that drink, watch that show, dig into those nachos and spend some light-hearted fun with your best bud and partner. Now is the time to do it. 

RESPECT ONE ANOTHER’S SPACE AND NEED TO WORK

I have been working at home since Little Mama was a toddler. It wasn’t always easy, but I finally found my groove. And it only got more successful with every passing year. Now that I’m back in toddlerville with Little Man, I’ve had to do some tweaking, and this last little while has been a little rough around the edges – but we made do. My apologies for blog posts every 2 months! Eeeps!

Now that George’s company has made the move to adhere to social distancing and allowed him to work from home, we both had mixed emotions about it at first. Of course, WHO doesn’t LOVE the idea of not having to fight morning traffic, being able to wear your slippers and robe to your desk (don’t worry, Kirsty, I’ll make him change into something more apropos for the video conference calls), and having a chance to share a lunch with your favorite little humans? But I think what worried him (and yours truly) the most, was the inability to find a way to work alongside our homeschool kiddo, and our very busy toddler. So we decided that if push comes to shove, we would prioritize his less flexible work day and allow him the space and quiet to get his work done. He has people outside of our home depending on him and who are inadvertently faced with the same distractions at home, as it were – so he has to get the job done. As they all do. With my line of work – well, I know my readers are very forgiving of my late posts. And truth be told, I’d rather work when the kids are asleep anyway. 

Our solution? Divide and conquer. During work hours for dad, I take the kids and focus on keeping them occupied. My short term trajectory would be a 9 year old completely (and willingly) immersed in autonomous study (ask me again how this went next week), and a 1 year old playing happily with his quiet toys (again, ask me how this all went next week). Being mindful of what and who the priorities are, will make the work/homeschool/entertaining-the-toddler day a much smoother one. 

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comWORK SIDE BY SIDE

We are very lucky that we are two creative people who need nothing more than our computer, our smart devices, and our computer plugs to get work going. Most of our work is online and desktop friendly – so it makes our need for physical space not as imperative – at least for the most part. We find that working next to one another in the early morning hours, and at the end of the day after the kids sleep – keep the other motivated. When he’s ready for a snack, I’m usually trailing behind him looking for crumbs (or stealing the last bite). When I’m down for a tv break, he usually gets very distracted and finds he loses his momentum. So we made a deal. We decided that on days where we want to keep each other company (because yes, the handful of days when we would rather be alone, do come in waves, so we certainly honor that!), we would agree to sit together at the kitchen table and get work done for a set amount of time. It sounds a little borderline co-dependant I know. But hear me out – don’t you feel more compelled to work when your “office mate” is also laser focused on their task at hand? It’s no different at home. 

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comThe Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comBE HEALTHY TOGETHER

Even before this global madness, George and I have been rather committed to making mindful food choices and taking better care of our bodies. We have both agreed, we are no spring chickens, although he gets carded like he is…. Notice I didn’t say we…? Arrrrg. But I digress. We recently made a promise to commit to lessening our sugar intake and making better food decisions. We started this at the beginning of the school year. By Christmas, we both lost 60 lbs between us. Having one another to be accountable to is key. And the best part is that we are flexible and forgiving, with a dash of bossy. Those days we agree on cheat meals, we try to do it at the same time, that way we can recover quickly from our short-lived fast food rendezvous – together. But we also give each other that metaphorical finger shake when we fall off the wagon a bit. Just enough to help the other one back on. 

The best part are the wins. When we do it together, we encourage one another, and hold each other responsible when we take a few steps back. Being healthy together is just what the love doctor ordered for any marriage. 

Now if I can only lift that tire and cinderblock in the back yard he insists on using as temporary social distancing friendly weights. Oh well… I guess bench pressing my toddler will do for now. 

GET ARTSY

George is an Artist through and through. This is where he and Little Mama have found their common ground. I often wish I had their artistic talent to illustrate on random post-it notes and spread them…uniquely… around the house. I am however, an artist in another world. Perhaps it’s not something I do much of anymore, now that I’ve got my hands full, but I certainly can carve out time from my jam-packed-at-home-full-time schedule, to dust off my guitar and learn a few new riffs. There is nothing quite like looking around our messy playroom and seeing my little girl and her dad create a storybook together, while my one year old beat master and I, jam it out on the guitar and bongos. Sometimes I take a step back and realize, okay – so we didn’t end up following the path smoothed out for us by our very academic and professional brothers, but we sure can create some noise. 

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comThe Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comAnd I’ve learned over the years, that a marriage that creates together… creates magic.

CHANGE THE TOPIC

I don’t know about your households, but is the global pandemic the most talked about topic in your home right now? Yeah… I thought so. Well – it’s a good thing to be aware and to discuss our understandable fears and reservations about what the next moves are going to be. But once we’ve addressed each necessary item of discussion once or twice, it might be worth taking a temporary pause and finding something else to discuss. Maybe hold your own casual book club or Netflix Party and talk about the movies you’ve been wanting to tackle either together or alone? Talk about a funny thing you saw on social media that has NOTHING to do with basic hand hygiene and morbid statistics. I’m not saying to turn a blind eye to all that is going on around us – that would be irresponsible to say the least, but like I said – a temporary pause. 

Trust me – at least one of you or maybe even both might need a break from it all. <raises hand excitedly>

LEAN ON ONE ANOTHER

No one will have your back more than the person that knows you the best. Your family members, your partner, your chosen family among your friends. But right now – your spouse is all of that and more. He/she has become your mirror reflection, your bestie, your teacher, your student, your good, your bad, your better, your worst. So lean in, and know and trust they will catch you if and when you fall. And vice versa. It’s important to have the open discussion and to keep the gates of communication wide open. Alternatively, it’s important to also know when to go on silent mode, and to just be present without having to say a word. I’m still working on that. 

The Impact of Social Distancing on Marriage and How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship www.sassandsmalls.comCATCH UP WITH YOUR FRIENDS

Like everything else – even the best things in life are in moderation. Sometimes you need big chunks of time with your partner, and small breaks in between. Or perhaps, time together is best in small tiny doses, in which case you plan out and schedule your break time – to keep each other sane. I know in our case, we do virtually everything together – almost ad nauseam. And even at the best of times, a quick face time check in from a friend or family member in another room is a very welcomed break. Gives us a chance to regroup, connect with our outside peeps, and come back stronger and geared up for another 23 hours together. 

Check out my post on the impact of social distancing on friendships and how to maintain connection with your best gal pals.

SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND IMPROVE (and not destroy)

I often hear of friends humming and hawwing about having to spend another minute with their spouses. No judgement… we’re all human and we all need physical space. The kind of space that sometimes a one bedroom loft apartment might not be able to provide. There are times, however, when you just don’t have any option but to choose to see your situation for what it really is. Perhaps this forced seclusion will be the very thing that makes or breaks your relationship if you’re already facing challenges (hopefully not the latter, but I’m sending you love and light if it is). But for you couples and families that don’t really know how things will fare as we are told to stay home in close quarters, indefinitely – try seeing this as an opportunity to grow as a unit. A chance to improve, if you will, on current systems in place. Maybe you’ll find that some ways work better than others, and in these forced conditions, we can see what will help build our bonds and not break it. Mamas – look at this moment in time as the gift it really is. A gift to press the restart button. See why we became a chosen team in the first place. And a gift to work through the unimaginable together. 

Trust me friend – if you can get through the tumultuous times together, you can get through anything. Who knows, maybe this global turbulence might actually be the very thing that will help you fall back in love again.

It’s for better or for worse, after all…

    Things haven’t really changed very much for my husband and I. We already run our businesses together and are together way more than most couples. The only thing that has really changed is that our kids are always with us and we don’t get to see our friends.

    My husband and I are guilty of not setting aside enough time for each other. We have two very small kids who don’t like to go to bed early, so it often feels like there’s nothing left to do than slump on the sofa at the end of the day, Going to try a date night at home for sure! Thanks so much for such inspiring ideas.

SOMETHING * IS * BREWING :: A #behindthescenes gli SOMETHING * IS * BREWING :: A #behindthescenes glimpse of what feels like the beginning of a powerful shift in #womenshealth right here in #Victoria.

To stand alongside such empowered women — #caregivers, #changemakers, survivors, women from all walks of life — in the very place where the hands and hearts of this hospital held me and my family together (in more ways than one)… it was overwhelming in the best way.

Even more so, to share it with my daughter, my fiercest little survivor. Both of our stories of survival are woven into these hospital walls.

This was more than just a shoot. This was change taking place in real time. Honoured to be a tiny part of this moment as it unfolds.

Thank you for bringing this to life @ourvichospitals @averybrohman @gaellevanerp 💛
To the kind dad at the @royalbaycolwood Easter Egg To the kind dad at the @royalbaycolwood Easter Egg Hunt this past Saturday—

You probably didn’t realize how much you and your kids impacted our day.

My son had just missed the first few minutes of the egg hunt (as usual, this mama was running late with a million things on her plate—homeschooling, caregiving, promoting a show, working from home, managing the home, advocating, feeding the young and old, managing moods... the usual chaos).

He stood in line for the balloon dome and said quietly, trying , “I got zero eggs, mama.”

You heard him. Your son, who seemed a bit overwhelmed himself covering his ears from all the noise, and your little girl, reached into their own baskets and filled my son’s bag.

I watched as kindness bloomed in real time.

You didn’t just hand out chocolate—you gave my son the gift of feeling seen and included. You taught your kids what generosity really looks like.

And for this tired, always-late, sandwich-gen special-needs mom—your gesture meant more than you’ll ever know.

If anyone in the Westshore community knows this lovely family (dad of Grayson?), please tag them or send them our thanks.

This is what #community looks like. 🐣💛

AUTISTIC BURNOUT :: Did you know there was such a AUTISTIC BURNOUT :: Did you know there was such a thing?

Me Neither! 

But it sure helped me understand my #neurdodivergent not-so-baby teen daughter who has been in #burnout mode for years. Gaining understanding of this aspect of burnout helps us find ways to cope when it creeps up on us as parents - and especially for our children. 

Here’s a #behindthescenes look of my talk on @sassandsmalltalkpodcast filmed at the amazing creative studios of @haus.of.owl with @kkayjudas at @sacred_advantage. She is our wonderful guest and a dear friend (and incredible advocate for my daughter specifically), who shares insight and personal experience on #autisticburnout in this raw and honest interview about how she navigated (continues to navigate) life on the spectrum especially during burnout. I may or may not have shed a tear… or 10… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tune in on @telus OptikTV Channel 9, stream+ on MAY 6th, and @storyhive YouTube on May 27th  to watch this compelling episode. 

And giving extra love to my beautiful and talented daughter who fine tuned the edit of this video! How blessed am I to be the mama of this creative young lady. Now gimme my phone back!!! 🤨

Have you or a loved one experienced Autistic Burnout?
Behind every #sandwichgeneration #entrepreneural # Behind every #sandwichgeneration #entrepreneural #homeschool #mom with #ADHD and #spicy kids, is: 
• a floor filled with painful-to-step-on toys and crafts
• Sniffly kiddos every few weeks 
• nothing crossed off her to-do list
• hundreds of unanswered texts/emails
• and a #mentalload sometimes too overwhelming to carry 

But unlike all the other gloomy seasons I’ve experienced this tough season, I have never felt such peace. 

WHY: 

• I have been walking through my #faithjourney with George and it’s been giving me a different outlook on everything life has thrown our way. My sistas in faith have kept us afloat this tough season @esther.driver @caarly.xo @lishgarv @nicoleacaldwell 

• I have been intentional on fixing my #guthealth, #cortisollevels, and #cognitivefunction with my daily #HJ #happy blend drink, and it has done wonders to my #mentalwellness  and overall health. <DM me for more info on this game changer drink>.

• I’ve been learning to just live in the moment and not be so caught up with doing EVERYTHING all at once. 

• I’m surrounding myself (albeit virtually and in spirit) with some of my chosen fam who probably get the most neglect of all, but still give me grace while I clumsily navigate this crazy season @nengineermom @rahannavu  @iamharpsra 
@m_stiggity 
@jenny_p1987  @westislanddesigns @kkayjudas @teacuphuman09 @i_am_miss_jen @swanny80 @trishita_namagita 

• Even though my business relies heavily on my #online presence, I’m giving myself grace for fully immersing myself in the needs of my family this last month I’ve been MIA. I know I can pick up where I left off, and lean on my mentors & biz sistas to pull me out of the seasonal funk @caitoaks @mommamillsblog, @happybalancemama @sweetmamalifedaily, and get back on track. 

Busy, overwhelmed mama… I see you. This is just a season. Do what you need to do, especially for you and your loved ones. Everything will still be there ready for you to “tackle” when you’re ready. 

And what losing two loved ones these last couple weeks has taught me - we’re only here temporarily. Spend your time earthside doing what you love, and loving who you love. @gjavier5 ❤️
No amount of “juice” can lessen the exposure t No amount of “juice” can lessen the exposure to elementary school winter bugs, but it sure came in handy when we need it IN & OUT of our household. 

Especially since I have elderly under my care. 

It skipped George and I entirely - but it definitely hit our two little ones, as bugs do. 

After a nice, tall glass of kid’s #HJ (mixed with some mango edge+ for my bigger and pickier smallie) - along with a nice snuggly nap - the symptoms were way less vicious than previous colds, and gone by the time I blended them their dose the next morning. 

It’s not some miracle drink with empty promises - it’s just ALL the good stuff in a glass. 

DM me if you want a sip for yourself or your sniffly kiddos. I’m telling you, our overall health and wellness as a family, has improved, since focusing on our #guthealth.

There is no price too high to pay for overall #wellness.

#NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #november P I N K #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #november 

P I N K :: I recently learned that flamingos lose their pink when caring for others (notably, mom flamingos) —and I felt that deeply this past year. When my sweet elderly Mama had an unfortunate fall, resulting in emergency surgery, an extended hospital stay, and complete dependence on full time care, I was torn between moving in and being there for her full-time, caring for my sick kids and husband, homeschooling, and managing my business. 

I lost my pink.

Everything else—work, plans, even my son’s birthday—had to wait. Our home was a mess, appointments were missed, mistakes were made, friendships were tested, and the mental load was heavy. But nothing compared to watching my once strong Mama feel powerless as she leaned into the support she needed but once resisted.

My Mom lost her pink. 

It was a season of sacrifice, but now returning the equipment, that helped with her recovery, is a moment I’ll never forget.  I can now see from a clear lens, that working together as a family (my own family, my brother’s, my parents), we made it through, with the power of faith, a supportive community and amazing and understanding friends, love, and especially prayer.

It feels so good to stand back and see the full picture. And best of all… 

Both my Mama and I got our pink back.

M A G G I E :: 🎉 Some #BTS #onthepod @sassandsm M A G G I E :: 🎉 Some #BTS #onthepod @sassandsmalltalkpodcast with my long lost twin and the hilariously brilliant MAGGIE of @thecatmompodcast ! We’re diving deep into life with a #SpicyBrain 🧠, talking all things #ADHD, and how she’s been navigating motherhood, chaos, and #burnout like the absolute rockstar she is. 💥

🎂 Oh, and did I mention it’s her #BIRTHDAY today?! 🎈 Be sure to give @minimaggie ALL the love in the comments! 🥳👇🏻

This episode, filmed at @haus.of.owl, is packed with so much relatable insight (and laughter... SO. MUCH. LAUGHTER 😂). Catch it #comingsoon #2025 on @TELUS OptikTV @storyhive! You won’t want to miss this one. 💬🎙️

Life just got a little more interesting @gjavier5 @ianshockeycards. Our apologies in advance… #doubletrouble 👭🏻
MY. FAM. IS. THRIVING. That is all. DM (and Fo MY. FAM. IS. THRIVING. 

That is all. 

DM (and Follow me) for deets on this amazing EASY 30sec Wellness supplement (and other #Amare Go-tos) that has elevated this family from shaking things up in the gut (bye 💩 probs), to clearing things up in the 🧠 (Wait - they actually WANT to learn? 🤯) … NOTHING ELSE has worked THIS GOOD for this family of Neuro-Ds. 

It’s not just some magic fix. 
It’s au naturale. Backed by science.
It’s #guthealth.
It’s #cognitivefunction.
Down to the cellular level.

✨ Sidenote: “Thriving” doesn’t mean, perfect, always happy, or that everyone is ALWAYS on the same page. 

That would just be weird. 

It means: 
• our target areas of concern (individually) are being addressed. 
• less chaos, more peace. 
• less reactive, less defensive
• more motivation, less resistance

We’re all collectively on our way to overall physical and mental wellness. 

And the best part is - all the kids care about is that it tastes darrrrrrrrn good. 

So what are you waiting for?
C O N N E C T I O N :: Now that George and I are b C O N N E C T I O N :: Now that George and I are both focusing on our COLLECTIVE #cortisolbalance - both our relationship and our kids benefit from these changes: 

• no longer reactive (to each other/kids)
• more playful with the kids, no longer irritable 
• have the #mentalclarity to pause and let each other have a say
• more well-rested - due to resisting #sleeprevenge (guys, I actually WANT to sleep now!! WHAT!??) 
• less overwhelm by everyday stressors
• tackle to-dos faster, together - procrastination completely not our thing anymore

** And the best and most shocking of them all… I am no longer impulsive with needless, emotional-spending, and that alone is a 🎁 for George! 

So many men and women in our age group are struggling like we were, only a few months ago.

This healthy cortisol mocktail is a daily favorite, takes 30 seconds to make, and is filled with adaptogens and healthy ingredients!

Moral of the story, in getting that dang SASS back: 
✨ Take Risks
✨ Get your gut health in check 🥤
✨ Find your peeps 
✨ Tell them how awesome they are

DM me, watch my stories, click on my bio links if you want in on any of this good stuff! 🥤 + 🎙️ + 💰📺

✨Be sure to give a little ❤️ to my 13 year old Smallie who helped me level up with this reel with her magic touch. #ASD #autism #thisishomeschool #homeschooler #mygirl #techgirl #daughter
I’m 1/2 a century, baby. #HappyBirthday to me, i I’m 1/2 a century, baby. #HappyBirthday to me, indeed.
#thisisme

And life just got a little sweeter. 

It’s not some secret recipe, or some overcomplicated skin regimen. 

It’s #faith
Motivation
The want
The humility to accept help
The unconditional love from family
Learning to say no to the wrong, and yes to the right. 

I took a chance on ME a few months ago, and since then, have seen a shift in myself.

I dreaded this #milestonebirthday for the last 10 years. I dreaded ESPECIALLY, being transparent to ANYONE… even my own kids. 

But it dawned on me. 

(With the help of my fellow #hypewoman gals that gave me the gentle nudge to OWN my age, not hide it) @sweetmamalifedaily  @nengineermom @mommamillsblog  @caitoaks  @lilkeez @iamharpsra  @rahannavu @mstiggity

Why hide it? 
What am I scared of? 

I DID IT!

I hit 1/2 a century, I survived 9 brutal pregnancy losses, and held one of them in my arms. I looked death in the eye, and through prayer and community - I came out of it alive and kicking. AND thriving.

It wasn’t my time. I still have work to do here. 

But even with these life altering moments in my life, I STILL:
• made bad health choices
• stretched myself to max capacity
• said YES to things that stifled my growth.
• said NO to hard things that meant growth
• lived in debilitating fear, daily
• allowed my #adhd to paralyze, not enhance my life
• had horrible boundaries… correction… I had no boundaries 

It took 50 years, (3 months ago, to be exact), but I found exactly what I needed: 
• A deeper connection with God
• Gratitude
• A go-to, easy #cortisol #drink that balances out those darn hormones, and targets my #Mentalwellness #HJ 
• Forgiveness and freedom from past hurts 
• An awesome studio to do my craft @haus.of.owl
• A killer program that funds said craft @Telus @storyhive 
• A loving approach #wifey, #specialneeds Mama & #caregiver Daughter
• Self Compassion
• And the GUMPTION to follow (FIX) my Gut. 

Thank you to those who remembered when I chose to forget, that turning 50 is a blessing, not a curse. 

DM me or comment 50 if you want in on this big secret.
✨ I N S I D E * O U T ✨ :: If you wanna see ho ✨ I N S I D E * O U T ✨ :: If you wanna see how HAPPY J blend has made a difference for me, and coincidentally - the family - take a look at our Behind the scenes of this year’s Inside Out FAM-O-WEEN —an honest, messy, and very real snapshot of our year. 2024 was a DOOZY. 

From frustration, to resistance, to acceptance, to finding Joy again (with a DAILY DOSE of HAPPY J and a whoooooole lotta Jesus) - each character felt like a reflection of this year’s whirlwind of emotions. It’s been a time of big decisions, finding our footing, embracing transitions, more sleepless nights,  a diagnosis we’ve been waiting a decade for, falls, accidents, sickness - the whole shebang of emotions. 

And then #anxiety reared its ugly head.  In full force. 

But, alongside family and close friends, Faith, and some yummy sips of a healthy supplement, carried us through. 

In a year that stretched us to our limits, this shoot felt like the perfect way to honour all the “inside out” moments we’ve faced. So here’s to the messy, the joyful, and even the challenging times that shape who we are. From deep #burnout and anxiety to discovering our faith and mental wellness, I’m stepping into the next chapter with a full heart and maybe a few more laughs (even if I’m a year older 😉).

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and whatever’s next. #FamOWeen2024 #InsideOutLife #EmotionalYear #insideout #FindingJoy #Milestonebirthday

2024 has been quite the year of change for us all. Emotions have been all over the map!
• #Caregiving has been amped up with unexpected falls and hospital stays 
• Our little not so little teen is on her last year of Middle school #homeschool version - not so easy but hey, surviving. #Disgust
• Our little guy cut his once curly locks and became a little man overnight - no tears except a very #sad dad who suffered from FOMO #Anger
• George also cut his hair that was once down to his waist. He was ready to let go of the weight of the world literally on his shoulders.
• I got selected for a wonderful @TELUS @Storyhive project to do a broadcast version of my #podcast and got my Juju back #happytears
• and yes… I found the perfect match for me to deal with my very neglected #guthealth, and yes… it’s a Gamechanger that has been behind the true shift in my mental health, productivity, and my road to a better me. Hence, “Happy” #Joy. #happyjuice

All these emotions check out. #insideOut we have thrived and survived. 

Happy Halloween!
S N E A K * P E E K :: I’m so excited to share a S N E A K * P E E K :: I’m so excited to share a little sneak peek of @theoutpostboardgamecafe, our good friend’s soon-to-be-opened #boardgame café, right here in the #Westshore 🎲🎲. The ONLY ONE of its kind in THIS part of town!! 🎉🎉We’ve ALL been waiting for this… 

Mamas… I’m looking at you… 👀

✨
✨ 

It’s been amazing watching this space come together - already such a fun vibe and a cozy spot to hang out, play some games, and connect with friends. And I already got my #gameschool curriculum ready to go for my #homeschooler (and her game lovin’ mama-teacher 🙋🏻‍♀️) to enjoy. And of course date nights with my guy and girls night with my ladies!! 

✨
✨

They’re getting so close to opening, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it in person!! 

✨

Be sure to SHARE THIS POST AND SPREAD THE WORD - #Grandopening is Nov 1st!! 🎗️✂️ Stay tuned for more updates—it’s going to be a game-changer! 😉

F E A R L E S S :: Becoming a mom changed me, and F E A R L E S S :: Becoming a mom changed me, and along the way, my confidence started to slip. The bold, carefree version of me was replaced by someone who worried about the little things—like making a simple left turn onto a highway (with nothing but a stop sign and a prayer).

For years, I avoided that turn. I’d ask trusted adults to drive my kid for these once a year field trips, while I anxiously waited for updates. Sometimes, if I couldn’t arrange a ride, I’d keep her home. No amount of spawning salmon is worth my sanity.

It sounds trivial to the average person, but that turn felt like a mountain I couldn’t climb - for 12 years!!! A really winding, single lane, high speed, intolerant and unforgiving mountain to climb.

✨✨✨✨✨

Enter my Happy Blend Morning supplement.

After a few weeks of working on my gut health and balancing hormones, including cortisol, I feel lighter—mentally and emotionally. The anxiety that used to grip me just… doesn’t anymore.

Something in me felt COMPELLED to make that turn. It was my actual, nurtured, gut telling me to not take the backroad out (which is 3 times the distance), and it felt like freedom. 

I’ve learned it’s not just about turning left on a highway; it’s about letting go of fear and no longer caring what others think. My people-pleasing feature was activated as I approached the turn - worrying about the driver behind me, but now, I prioritize what’s best for me and my loved ones. And what’s best for my loved ones is that they get the chance to enjoy an educational experience, without my anxious brain standing in the way.

I am mentally clear, more logical, and becoming resilient where stress once controlled me. I’m ME again, free from imbalanced hormones, and the fear of inconveniencing others.

If this resonates with you, drop “FEARLESS” in the comments, and I’ll share what I’ve been using to get here. You’re not alone. #MomLife
