The Head and The Heart Vol.6

Here's what happened.

Hi friends,

I wanted you to hear an update in my voice vs. just my words on a screen!

My headspace during this time of recovery is truly focused on gratitude, moving forward, and staying present with what I can control. I’m dreaming about the projects I’ve started designing and building towards (like a women’s music festival in Minneapolis and more support for people navigating infertility, pregnancy, and adoption loss) and feel more driven to these passion projects more than ever before.

I also recognize that I’ve only shared what really happened in a few sentences.

I wanted to create a space on this Substack where I could share this experience in full. For me, rehashing the trauma of it all upon every single meeting is honestly, very draining. My head space and heart space is truly balanced 99% of the time, but reliving it over and over and over again is what causes the doom and gloom to appear. I had a brain aneurysm that ruptured and it’s a part of my story. I’m not shying away from it, but going through every single detail every day doesn’t fit within my plan to maintain my mental health.

SO! Imagine this: You’re coming over to my home for a visit, I share the nitty gritty details of this big experience, you ask a few questions, I answer them the best I can, and we part ways so I can take my 3rd nap of the day. Sound good?

XO,

R
