My name is Courtney. First and foremost, I am a mom. Out of all the titles I have ever held, or will ever hold, this one will always be the most meaningful. I have 3 children, a wonderful husband, and the best golden retriever there is. My life is chaotic, in more ways than one. We are always on the go. Most of the time, we can be found at a practice, or a game, or a cheer competition, or a race, or something along those lines. Between all of this, and a full-time job, it is enough to make my head spin. And just to add to all of the chaos, I have a long-standing history with mental illness. It is something that I have struggled with for as long as I can remember and something I will continue to battle until the day I die. I am not shy about my illness, and I am not ashamed of it. All I have ever wanted to do in life is to help people. I feel that by sharing my story, I can hopefully help at least one person know that they are not alone. That they don’t have to be ashamed. That it is okay to ask for help. So, this is it. This is my life, in all its messy glory.
