About Me!

Hi! I’m Grace, a 20-something-year-old from a small town in Illinois.

I spend reading, writing, and binge-watching my latest tv show obsession. I also love spending time with my family, especially my nieces (Kenzi, age 10, and Quinn, age 7), and playing games (Cribbage and Euchre are my favorites). 

I am also a perfectionist and incredibly hard on myself.

About Kinder to Yourself

During one therapy session, I asked my wonderful therapist, “Well, what should I do about that?” and she said, “Grace, for pretty much all the times that you ask this, the answer is the same. You need to be kinder to yourself.”

It blew my mind to hear it summed up like that. The best thing I could do for my mental health was to be kinder to myself. An easy thing to say but surprisingly hard to do. Alas, this website was born.

On this website, you can find tips for how to be kinder to yourself and self-care ideas.

Join me in trying to be kinder to ourselves!
