I’ve set up a new form on my website for you to submit questions or topics you’d like to see me address in a video or blog, and I love reading all your ideas and questions! (If you want to submit your own, click here). Here’s one I received recently: Hey Kaitlyn! I was wondering... Continue Reading →
Am I a Mistake?
Last week I finally had the chance to catch the Mr. Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” and first I want to say that it’s such a heart-warming and inspiring movie. I feel like you leave the theater wanting to be a better person. Wanting to make the world a kinder place. So I’m... Continue Reading →
‘This is Us’ Shines a Light on Anxiety Attacks
I’m a pretty naturally anxious person. There are times when it is manageable. But there are other times when it consumes my world. My first memory of it overwhelming me was when I was 11. I became so irrationally fearful of germs after a bad bought with a stomach virus that I could barely function.... Continue Reading →
When You Hate the Things You Love
I had a super stressful weekend when it should have been super amazing and exciting. It’s been a goal of mine and my good friend Alanna’s to make a video together since we now live in the same city. And we’ve been working on said project for the last few weeks. This Saturday was the... Continue Reading →
Election Anxiety
I'm pretty numb today. After months of slowly building anxiety--chest-tightening, tears to your eyes, can't breathe kind of anxiety--I held this hope that it would finally be okay to breath out again. I even had a vlog planned for next Tuesday tentatively titled "Thank Goodness That's Over," but there was always the nagging fear in... Continue Reading →
Make Me a Robot
I had the privilege of seeing one of my favorite YouTubers in concert over the weekend, and it reminded me once again why I love Tessa Violet so much and how she inspires me. So in the spirit of inspiring others, I thought I’d share some of her wisdom with you. Tessa’s a bit of... Continue Reading →
Anxiety and Change
The last few years have been pretty rough for me emotionally. I’ve basically been living life in a way I didn’t want to be and couldn’t find much joy in which is why change is a welcome development in the narrative of my life. However, if you’ve read much of my blog or followed me... Continue Reading →
Nashville, Anxiety, & 16-Hour Work Days
I’m exhausted. Not really physically (although I could certainly use some more sleep) but more mentally than anything. I feel like I’ve been on a psychological roller coaster for the past week. As an introvert I’ve had to be “on” for 8 days straight now, with only one break day before that in the... Continue Reading →
Do The Thing That Scares You!
“Do the thing that scares you.” And I don’t mean, “Oh I’m terrified of spiders so I should just go jump in a spider pit.” That’s different. That’s torture. Or sadomasochism. Or just BAD. What I mean is that many times we hide from the things in our life that require courage. Or perhaps... Continue Reading →
In Need of a Sick Day
Sometimes you need a sick day. Where you can call off meetings and responsibilities, stay in bed, watch some Netflix, and forget you’re an adult for a few hours of bliss. And people usually understand too, especially if you very rarely bail on a meeting or call in sick. Or when they hear how... Continue Reading →
