This is me.

Welcome to my corner of the internet!

​

I'm Jessica B., a dedicated advocate for mental health and addiction recovery. I come fully armed with a Bachelor's in Psychology of Addictions and currently pursuing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in trauma and crisis intervention. I have committed to understanding and assisting those facing life's toughest challenges, with a dash of some empathy. My journey isn't just professional; it's deeply personal.

​

Balancing this journey with motherhood to my beautiful daughter and stepdaughter, alongside navigating chronic health issues, has shaped me into who I am today and what I want to do. I'm a girlfriend to a wonderful, yet needy partner (okay, perhaps I'm the high-maintenance one!), a dedicated drug and alcohol case manager, and a proud pet mom to three dogs, three cats, and caretaker of four aquatic tanks. Being in recovery from drugs and alcohol, I deeply understand the struggles that stem from substance use disorders as well.

 

Life is a whirlwind, but amidst the chaos, I've found purpose.

​

This platform is my labor of love—a safe space to discuss the uncomfortable realities of life. Loneliness is all too common, and I believe in fostering a community where everyone feels heard and understood. Whether it's navigating addiction, mental health struggles, parenting, or simply embracing the madness life throws our way, let's tackle it together.

​

So, pull up a virtual chair, grab a cup of tea (or coffee, if that's your vibe), and let's dive into the beautiful messiness of life. Because, in the end, we're all just trying to survive—and there's strength in sharing our stories and supporting one another along the way. Let's talk about it.
