Don’t compare your life, your goals, your accomplishments, what you have or don’t have to anyone. Remember that the only success that matters is your own. We all have big accomplishments, whether they happen in our 20’s, 30’s, 40’s or even 60’s. Trust the process. But most importantly believe and trust in yourself that you will do amazing things. I believe in you and so should you.

Could Be Worse started as a way to heal myself over the loss of my brother. I wanted to tell his story and I will continue to do so. But I have found a passion in this. I want to be able to spread not just my brothers story, but other people who suffer with mental health or have gone through loss by su***de or in general and how it affected them.
That being said, I am excited to let you guys know that in the coming weeks, I will be having guests on to tell their stories. I am so excited to start this process!
My goal is to raise awareness on mental health and make people feel that they are not alone. I want to end the stigma around these topics.
I hope you guys enjoy my new content in the up coming weeks.
As always Spread Kindess & thank you all for your continued support!

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to speak at a event, Defy Darkness. This was my first time ever speaking in front of people about Hayden’s story. It was very nerve racking, but I pushed through and did it. I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to do it again. I can say for certain that I have found my calling in life.
I am so thankful of the community Kerri is creating in raising awareness on teen su***de. Together we will be ***defreeby2023
