Hi, I’m Brenda

And welcome to What Fills Your Soul (and makes your spirit sing)!
When I was younger, all I really wanted to do was get married and have children. Being a mom meant everything to me.
But somewhere along the way, no matter how much you love it, you find out that being a mom just isn’t enough. One day, your kids won’t need you as much. What will you do then?
I’ve found out that you can’t rely on others to fulfill you. You have to do that yourself.
You have to set out on your own journey to find out who you are and what makes your spirit sing.
I used to hear women talk about “finding themselves” and just didn’t get it. It made no sense to me. Then one day, I realized that I had no idea what made me happy or what I would do for fun if I had a free hour. It was time for me to find myself.
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety; I still have my days. But I’ve found ways to help, ways to get through it, and I want to share that.
In fact, I have so much to share – about getting to really know yourself better, learning to take better care of yourself, and getting the help you need when you need it – whether that’s professional help, or just some time for yourself.
I read about, research, and study all kinds of things. If it works for me, I use it, and I share it with you!
I hope you’ll take the time for yourself and try some of my suggestions. I think you’ll be so happy you did!
