Hey ya'll! I'm Brandlyn, I'm a mom of two--you'll hear about my loves eventually. So, why this blog? This blog's purpose is to inspire hope, educate, and impart love to each of you. I am not a mental health professional-- I'm just passionate about mental health and wellness. How will I do this? The idea of The Mental Health Burrito came to me while I was in an Intensive Outpatient Treatment facility in Cary, N.C. I was in treatment from October 2019- December 2019. I started thinking about how I could make daily changes and the first thing that came to mind was, " What is Brandlyn filling herself up with?" What things need to go to facilitate my healing? How do I view myself? Lord... where do I begin One day during treatment I was enjoying a delicious burrito with everything I love inside of it: chicken, steak, rice, beans, grilled onions and peppers, sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, and last QUESO!!!  So, while I'm eating this literal burrito, I began to think about a metaphorical one.  This is what I came up with: I want to fill my  burrito (since I'm ingesting it) with love, compassion, self-care, peace, grace, intentionality, forgiveness, radical acceptance, and  empathy just to name a few. This blog will be personal, raw, and very real. My hope is that you will feel the love, always leave with something you can share, and feel hopeful about your mental health journey.
