I see your struggle with anxiety and depression. I see you desperately wanting new hope and new life. I’ve been there! And I can tell you that Jesus’ love and redeeming power are the only things that can bring true transformation and healing to our souls and hearts. That’s exactly why I started The Heart Stuff —
To share with you all the wonder, love and might of Jesus Christ. To encourage you to own your story (your past, life experiences, what makes you, YOU) and be empowered by it, instead of broken by it. That is my hope. Give it to Jesus, friend! He is the beautiful redeemer that is making all things new.
I write about the hard things in life that lie at the “heart of the matter”…trauma, depression, anxiety, doubt — these are things we all may go through at some point. Sometimes they can be almost palpable or be buried deep inside.
I’m not satisfied with surface level anything. I appreciate depth and vulnerability, but truth be told, I have a love/hate relationship with both. Vulnerability is uncomfortable, yucky, hard— it EXPOSES you — but also, vulnerability is beautiful and essential (bummer).
So I write about the heart stuff in hopes of not only encouraging and inspiring you, but also to put my pen where my mouth is… So to speak 😉
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I began posting my art and lettering on Instagram as a way to keep myself motivated and accountable. In the couple years that followed, something else began stirring in me and the direction of that Instagram page changed.
In 2021 I was invited to write a blog post for SW Women, the women’s ministry at my church. By this time, God had already put in my heart the desire to share my experiences of growing up in a broken home, mental health struggles, and past trauma and abuse.
Most importantly, to share the redeeming work God had done and was doing in my life and heart with women who might be going through similar things. Thus, The Heart Stuff Company™️ was born.Thank you for reading this far. I am no expert nor have I “arrived,” but am learning and growing right alongside you and am so hopeful that this endeavor will be of much value to you!
