I'm surviving my story and so can you.
Your overall success in any world whether it be the military or civilian rides on the resources you’re able to find, the relationships you make, the research you can dig up, and above all else knowing how to advocate for yourself but this can be tough to do on your own! I’ve been on my journey for nearly three years and I can’t promise it will ever feel easier but my hope is that I’ve done some if not most of the backend work so that you don’t have to!

Sometimes we can’t control what’s happening in our lives but we can control how we respond, the tools we use to cope, and who we’re going through it with.

Military and Veteran Resources
Whether you’re an active service member, a newly separated veteran or you’ve been separated for a while and you’re feeling lost in the world we all know that the Military and Veteran Affairs systems and resources often don’t make sense or seem less than user friendly. It’s true but it doesn’t have to be impossible. It’s taken me two years to get what I needed from the VA and the tips, tricks, and information I’ve dug up to expedite the process may save you a ton of time and headache!
Coordinating your care and advocating for yourself
Living a life with chronic illness is never easy. Our illness is often invisible and how we feel is not only often under-appreciated by our friends and families but by our medical team as well! There have been many times where I felt like giving up on the process. It felt like no matter what I did they didn’t hear me or care. So I built an arsenal, do you know how? I would LOVE to share it with you and I hope you find my experiences helpful on your journey.
