Holy Overwhelming!!

So, being the princess bee that I am, I want my site to be pretty, calm, soft, and beachy. Think ocean breeze, exhale, and a place where you can just be.

So I’m working away, trying to set up my homepage and post pages. Apparently it’s all supposed to be user-friendly and easy-peasy.

Well… if that’s the case, I feel dumb.

But she’s up and running, and I’m excited!

I never in my life thought I was capable of creating something like this. Something that could potentially reach people all over the world. That’s kind of crazy when you think about it.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something for myself. Something that, maybe one day, could bring in an income. The problem was, I had no idea what that thing was.

Then one day I was sitting here in my sanctuary—my little apartment—having one of those weird days. Not a crying day exactly. More of a “what the heck is wrong with me?” day.

And I thought, this has got to change.

There is no way I am the only woman over 50 dealing with all of this stuff.

The depression.
The anxiety.
The menopause.
The mood swings.
The feeling that my brain sometimes has a mind of its own.

One minute I’m crying.
The next I’m laughing.
One day I’m excited about life and making plans.
The next I don’t even feel like getting out of bed.

So I asked my therapist, ChatGPT.

(Kidding… sort of.)

I started asking questions about what might be going on with me. Why I wanted out of my job. Why I kept dreaming about working for myself. Why I was tired of helping everyone else build their lives while feeling stuck in my own.

And somewhere in all those conversations came an idea.

Create an outlet.

Share your story.

Talk about the messy parts.

Maybe there are other women out there going through the same things.

And just like that…

Freedom From Chaos was born.

It’s exciting.

It’s overwhelming.

It’s a little scary.

But it’s also something that’s mine.

So I’m taking it a couple of hours at a time. No pressure. No rushing. Just learning as I go and enjoying the process.

Thank you for being here.

I truly appreciate you. ❤️
