as i scrolled through so many of @ciuciu.sebastian pieces my eye was drawn to this one, & when i asked his wife @alina.ciuciu about it she told me the name was “BEAUTIFUL SCARS”…i started to cry 😭 it may not mean much to you but this past year was a doozy for our family. i have dealt with so much personally, i have never experienced anxiety or PTSD until this year! i have struggled with a mild depression for many years, but this year it got to be so bad that there were days i didn’t want to get out of bed… although i wouldn’t wish my journey on my worst enemy (i apparently have a few), i would not change my story!!
i know as i continue on my journey of healing, learning to put myself first, focus on my family and grow in my marriage, i can use my story so far to help someone else! don’t get me wrong it’s not easy, everyday i feel the trauma, the thoughts and memories. and geez am i grateful for my therapists!
We all have scars from many of life’s experiences, and i am choosing to see mine as “BEAUTIFUL”… this artwork is my reminder – the bumps, rips and rough parts!
thank you Sebastian and Alina for being a part of my story ❤️ and how cool is their last name?? Ciu Ciu (pronounced Choo Choo)

“Lights On” is UP and available on B-Side App 📲
We spend time in these first few episodes on our experience and what we are learning in the midst of it all.
What happened to me? Why did it take so long to talk? What are the consequences for living with lies? Why did Laura stay married to me? Who’s at fault?
We have been asked questions like these for a long time and these answers will bring some honest clarity.
Episode 2 will drop tomm!
We talk about my recovery steps, what you discover when you pursue the root of a problem, what happened to my friendships and how we feel about Hillsong church…Hope you check it out!

i took a self care day for my birthday 🥳 it was perfect… started at the beach by myself 🙌🏼 ended with dinner, cake and some sweet facetimes ❤️ #43isthenew23 🤣
SUUUUUUUPER EXCITED FOR THIS!!!! So proud of my husband… the decision to create a podcast was one he didn’t take lightly, Our journey the past few years has been long but beautiful and to see Gods grace and hand on every step of our healing (and continued healing) chapter is just beyond!!! I think this Pod will help many and that was our only intention in telling ours and many other stories of those that have made it out to the other side of a dark place!!! The pods we have recorded already I cannot WAIT for you to see!!! 🤭 Anyway, proud wife post!! You will be able to watch/listen to this on all platforms including the @bside_app where there will be exclusive content for subscribers 😜

its #nationaldaughterday and today marks a very special day for us and our daughter @charlentz. a year ago today our life changed! parents- you can listen to your kids, have open dialogue & try to be available but sometimes you can miss things… i am grateful that my daughter is still with us… go check out her post on mental health & please be aware- trauma, heartache, social media, friends, family, this worldwide pandemic can lead to some darks days for our kids & loved ones. ask someone today “ are you ok”? #suicidepreventionmonth
🥂 cheers to the weekend! i’m looking forward to dinner out, watching my son play football, getting some sunshine on my face, sunsets, church on sunday, playoffs & a little champagne. what’s your favourite weekend activities?
A few first moments in Greece 💙🤍
my winter attire is a lot different than it used to be! 😜
i am stepping out into a new chapter and a new career this year!! 😬 i met someone a few months ago who pushed me into starting a new business and empowered me to do something for myself…. more to come on this later 😜but thank you @nataliewalton for making this free class available today and for sharing your journey, and encouraging women to step out and try something new! i am excited for the opportunities that are opening up for me!
NYC you will always hold my ❤️ #911 #neverforget #love
”Our kids are capable of more than we think”.. Learning the balance between protecting our kids vs. shielding them from adversity they have to learn how to walk through isn’t easy! Grateful we get to learn as we go.. thanks for engaging with this episode and sharing it with people who need encouragement! ✉️You can email or DM us further parenting questions and thoughts.. thanks for listening to LIGHTS ON…
This conversation about raising good kids ultimately keeps coming back to parents being healthy people!! If you don’t intentionally change patterns you will unintentionally pass them down… THERAPY IS NOT “THE” ANSWER! It is ABSOLUTELY a very important and vital part of the picture for many people to get healthy… Just because you went through it, doesn’t mean your loved ones have to go through that same thing… there is a better way! I’m glad this episode has helped a lot of people and I’m excited for the many who reached out to say some variation of “ I am going to do the work, I want my family to be healthy and it starts with me!” Amen and amen.. to every parent out there trying your best: it’s never too late to work on you! You are still writing your story… ✍🏼 ep 8 out on all platforms!
