Who I Am

I am someone who has days where I am unhappy being me. I am someone who has learned there are so many options out there to live a fuller life. I know that throwing money at a problem will not fix it, nothing comes without hard mental and physical work, and wellness is no exception. It takes a village, they say, to raise a child. It takes a village to support anyone working on themselves.

My name is Christine. I am a mother, a wife, a stereotypical late 30s woman in her 40s. I was born and raised in small rural Ohio and now reside in suburban Delaware amongst the large cities of the East Coast. I am a woman with a career who took her alloted maternity leave and quickly returned to a fast paced corporate world. I still work in that world. I have good days, I have bad days. I have healthy days, I have “real life” days. I’ve seen tragedy and loss, and I’ve seen the best in humanity. “Progress, not perfection” is something I have to tell myself daily as a recovering perfectionist.
