#OKAYMOVEMENT
“How are you?” – This has turned into a way to just get a conversation started. The answer is easy, automatic really – “good”, “fine”, “okay.” But how are you?
Really. How are you?
We want to create a safe space to share stories, seek help, and support others going through the same troubles. #OkayMovement shows people experiencing mental health issues that they are not alone.
Your stories are important and there is hope.
Joining the #OkayMovement is simple.

My Anxiety / Depression Journey
Hello Lovelies, While I like to keep things light and focus on positivity and focus my energy on fun + exciting projects and topics on this little space of mine, I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t also share some of my hardships and struggles.
