I wanted to hop on and share a quick update on how things have been lately. Life has been heavy, and the stress has been real—but I’ve realized that we don't have to carry it all by ourselves. In this video, I'm sharing some personal updates and a reminder that you aren't struggling alone. I truly believe that awareness of what we’re going through, combined with a little extra kindness, is the only way to move forward. If you’re feeling the weight of the world today, I hope this gives you a bit of peace. #LifeUpdate #MentalHealthAwareness #Kindness #YouAreNotAlone #OvercomingStress
