Enjoy every moment. That’s what they told me when they discharged me from the hospital after I gave birth and became a mom. That’s what friends and family said as they commented on my photos of our cute little addition to our family. A post full of excitement, yet fear of the unknown. You see mothers on social media seeming …
Hi, my name is Leah Brown. I’m a health promotion and education intern here at 1N5. I am a 4th year at the University of Cincinnati, and I’ll be graduating at the end of April. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was very young, so I’ve really learned the importance of self-care. Finishing up college has been stressful …
Hello! My name is Meg, and I’m a senior at the University of Cincinnati. I am planning on receiving my degree in psychology with certificates in Deaf studies and pre-art therapy. I hope to continue my studies with graduate school in a few years. Senior year has not been an easy one, and with the added stress of everything happening …
At 1N5 we talk about self-care every day. How do we educate our audiences on how to take better care of themselves? It is a topic that is always on my mind. I try to make it a priority for myself to include some form of self-care every day. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t do so well. So, …
Christine Browner is the mom of 5 kiddos, wife to an amazing man, rare disease and mental health advocate, nurse, and Program Manager at 1N5. I kind of feel the same way about the word self-care as I’ve felt about the word pivot since the start of the pandemic. Way overused! I get the importance and significance of each yet …
Hi! My name is Erin Horn and I’m excited to be the guest self-care blogger today. I’ve been with 1N5 since summer of 2018 and I primarily work on our youth programs and prevention and wellness trainings. As I have grown along with 1N5, my knowledge around wellness has also expanded and grown. I am forever grateful that the work …
Hi, I’m Beth and I am the Operations Manager at 1N5. I’m a wife, mom, grandma, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and a dog-lover. I work and I play and sometimes I struggle with my mental health. As today’s 1N5 guest blogger, I’d like to share my self-care thoughts. Doofenschmirtz (AKA Doof) is my rescue pup but I’m not sure who …
I have to admit that I have a hard time slowing down and taking as good care of myself as I do of my family…even my dog! Productivity defined my worth for longer than I care to admit, so for me it’s a process, not a light switch, to slow down and ease into self-care. I aspire to one day …
We have to learn how to recognize our own emotional capacities. Sometimes, we have the capacity to take on more than other times. Right now, I recognize my emotional capacity is very low. I’m having a hard time keeping up with the most basic of daily tasks, and I definitely don’t have the emotional capacity to be there for others …
The past two weeks have felt unreal like I’m living in a nightmare and just can’t seem to wake up. Almost two weeks ago, my entire life changed in a matter of hours. Two Wednesdays ago, my grandparents’ house—which has been in our family for nearly 70 years—caught fire. I was bartending when I got the call. I thought it …
