Therapy has transformed life in ways I never expected. As a queer foster alum who grew up in poverty; constantly amazed at the growth, insight and calm I find, even on rough days. Grateful for every moment and ready to keep growing. #Queer #FosterAlum #MentalHealth #LivedXperience #HealingInProg

Second time running the Owyhee Off-Road Challengeβ€”13.1 miles, 1600+ ft of gain, and all the feels. Thought it was 700 ft… surprise! Mile 12 nearly broke me, but I finished strong. Grateful for the views, the pain, and my mom’s voice in my head pushing me forward.
