Mother’s Day can be a surprisingly difficult holiday. While most of the world gushes about the day with flowers and cards, others are hiding the pain of infertility, mourning a loss, or wrestling through a strained relationship. For me, it’s a reminder that I’m not exactly where I’d like to be in life right now.

This was my first time talking to Christian artist, Jordan St. Cyr. It is probably not the sign of a healthy person to dump your Jr. High trauma on someone you just met, but Jordan seemed to have a kind heart.

There are times in life where you realize that you’ve been a hypocrite. I’ve written blogs before about struggling with insecurities when it comes to my body. I’ve published podcasts featuring experts that preach body positivity. But still, I struggle. Recently, I had to face the always-daunting task of shopping for jeans.
