Welcome to my new blog, Piece of Cake Running!

I’m sitting here watching the ING NYC Marathon while I type this. Good luck to all the runners in NYC!

No shame: Effexor, Rexulti, Vyvanse XR, Adderall. It’s the little moments around here that keep me going. I shared something on Facebook this morning- it was “on my heart” [cringe] I think because I’ve noticed a few posts from friends and family recently that worried me, and I felt like it was time to share. (This is the short version). Last year at this time I was a hot mess. I had been trying SO HARD to figure out why I kept relapsing into this awful anxiety mindset for the last few years. I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t eat. The problem with anxiety is that you can’t think your way through it, you need to relax and let your brain reset. Then the fog lifts and you can breathe and see clearly again. I didn’t want to rely on medicine, but I was so miserable and wanted my appetite back. I tried Lexapro but it wasn’t the best one for me. Rexulti was the first drug that really helped, and my appetite came back within 3 days of taking it. Then I started seeing a new doctor and she prescribed me Effexor. Gradually I started to feel normal again. As the summer was coming to an end, we figured out that my underlying issue was undiagnosed ADHD- I cried tears of relief once I understood how everything was connected. I had been relying on exercise to treat my ADHD and anxiety for years without really knowing I had a “problem”. The medicine has helped me think clearly, learn how to relax, accept my tendency for anxiety and my ADHD brain. Meditation has really put the puzzle pieces together so I’m able to be more present with my girls. I spend less time thinking about my to-do list, and more time in the moment. If you’re struggling, don’t be afraid to reach out to me with questions. I think we’re all here to help each other out, and we all have pain and struggles. We medicate in a lot of ways and if we’re honest with ourselves we know when our vices are hurting us. Let’s not be afraid to be our authentic selves and instead show up for one another.

Embrace the chaos, Mollie. Everything is fine. We are fine. (Repost from @bored_teachers)

I wrote a thing. It’s not about running. It’s an essay about something a little more serious, and I would love to know what YOU think. Link in profile.

Covid 19 Diaries: this is what working from home looks like. My laptop is directly in front of me. Emma is hanging on my arm because she doesn’t want to do her school work and Natalie is playing restaurant with me. Today’s mantra: Embrace. The. Chaos.

I know this day can be hard for some of us, so just know that no matter what, you are loved. I hoped and prayed for these two. After 3 miscarriages and 2 surgeries within a year, we finally got our rainbow baby when Emmaline was born. Natalie was a miracle for another reason: my new OB in NY didn’t think I needed the Lovenox injections I took daily when I was pregnant the first time, or any medical interventions whatsoever. I was terrified for a lot of that pregnancy, but everything ended up fine. It took Emma awhile to warm up to her sister, but now they are best friends. Well, most of the time, let’s be real: sometimes they argue over the same toy, or get mad at each other for some ridiculous reason. Despite that, I feel so lucky to be their mom, today and every day. Our struggles are what make us stronger and help us grow into who we are, and who we are becoming ❤️ #rainbowbaby #mothersday #quarantinemothersday #covidthoughts

Natalie and I were bored so we did our makeup! 💄 #happyhour #notamakeupartist
