Sisters. Cofounders. OCD Warriors.

We were lucky enough to have had the support of our family to get us the help we needed. But, there are so many people out there who know absolutely nothing about what they are dealing with internally and how to manage it.

And, because of the stigma that still exists around mental health disorders, we are not properly taught how our mind works, how it breaks, and how it heals. 

But the more we share about ourselves, the struggles we go through and the ways we’ve learned to overcome them, the more we can help to inform someone else’s experience. 

We want to empower those who suffer silently to discover real, effective ways to feel less overwhelmed by anxiety and find the space in their mind to live in the present moment.

The brain needs a check-up, too.

Every year, we are strongly encouraged to go to the doctor. They check our weight, height, blood pressure, heart beat, etc. They make sure our vital bodily functions are working...

Positively Toxic

It was the end of the summer of 2020. The pandemic was still terrifyingly fresh, my social life had become non-existent since I moved home, and I was about to...

Grounding Techniques My Therapist Taught Me When My Anxiety Was Super Intense

Anxiety creeps up on us at the most inconvenient times. Sometimes we let it consume us so much that we can’t seem to think of anything else. Here are some...

How do you know if you’ve found Mr./Mrs. Right? Well, you don’t.

As someone who has Relationship OCD, I can tell you that accepting this fact is no walk in the park. “What’s Relationship OCD,” you ask?  It is a subset of OCD where the obsessions are focused on themes surrounding relationships and dating.

Lindsay vs. OCD

It all started the night before. I was in the shower using the last of the conditioner, preparing to toss the empty bottle in the trash. In that same moment I remembered my sister was away with friends for the week. Then this thought popped into my head. “If I threw this bottle away when my sister wasn’t here we would be separated and, somehow, she would be stuck in an alternate universe.” I threw the bottle out anyway and the thought came and went. 

Lindsay: 1 / OCD: 0

This would be the beginning of a very long and exhausting 48 hours.

What If?

What if? This is the question that has held too much power over my life, my values, my goals, my adventures and my chance for new opportunities. I used to think that there must be an answer to these questions. There has to be — right? Because, if there isn’t an answer, that means I just have to deal with not knowing? How do I let these questions go? How can I possibly focus on anything else when the possibility that something bad will happen is just hanging over my head? 

Share Your Story

With every thought, fear, and story we share, we add to a larger conversation around mental health and open up the gates for someone else to begin their journey toward nurturing a healthy mind.

The Power of Sharing

We’ve all heard the phrase “sharing is caring.” We’ve all learned this lesson from the moment our tiny brains began to soak up the world around us. It’s so important...

Allow 6ft between yourself and your mind

One of the most effective things I have learned in therapy is distancing. And no, I don’t mean social distancing.

Who's your Danny DeVito?

The narratives that sometimes consume our minds seem so real in the moment. We start to attach ourselves to them and mistakenly identify them as our truth.
