About me and why I started the TRULY UPLIFT blog.
Welcome to the TRULY UPLIFT blog! My name is Joanna Santillano, and I am truly excited you are here! Years ago, I felt stuck in life. I fell into the role of tired stay-at-home mom who lost her sense of self. When I thought of my 'old self' I remembered a self-assured, creative, curious, passionate individual. Why did that fire in me go out? I'll tell you why. I stopped taking care of myself. I was on auto pilot. I wanted my daughter to know that it is important to never let that fire go out. To run towards opportunity and try new things. Slowly I decided to look for those fiery pieces of myself that I know were still there by nurturing those little flames.
That is the very reason I started the TRULY UPLIFT blog. Since I could remember, I have always wanted to start a blog, but I didn't have my why and I didn't have much to say. Now I can confidently say that my why is crystal clear. I am passionate about sharing ways to get out of that autopilot slump. Maybe you're a stay-at-home mom like me, a father, or just a person who needs some ideas to try new things. This blog is for anyone out there that needs to TRULY UPLIFT
The TRULY UPLIFT blog is my personal attempt to do something that makes me feel good by being a creative outlet and connecting with people. I hope I can inspire just one person to start nurturing those little fires that live in us all. We could do it together! If any of my posts resonate with you, please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I would love nothing more than to start a conversation.
Don't let that fire go out! What is something that used to excite you? What is something you miss about yourself?
