Spring Cleaning My Mind, Body, and Medicine Cabinet

Okay y'all, can we talk about how spring in Nashville just hits different? The dogwoods are blooming, Chloe's already planning her summer break activities (lord help me), and I'm sitting here on my porch with my coffee thinking about how this time of year always makes me want to clean house. But not just my actual house — though trust me, that needs it too — I mean cleaning out all the stuff that's been weighing me down.

Last week I was going through my bathroom cabinet (why do I have seventeen half-empty bottles of the same lotion?) and I found my old endometriosis meds from two years ago. Just seeing them brought back all those feelings... the pain, the weight gain, the absolute mess I was. I remember gaining those 40 lbs in three months and feeling like my body had completely betrayed me.

But here's the thing — standing there holding those old pill bottles, I realized how far I've come. Not just physically (though yes, the semaglutide has been a game-changer and I'm not ashamed to say it), but mentally and spiritually too. Spring cleaning isn't just about tossing expired medications. It's about letting go of the shame, the old stories, the voices that told us we weren't enough.

What I'm Actually Cleaning Out

My therapist (yes, I'm still going every week and no, I'm not embarrassed about it) asked me what else I need to spring clean in my life. And honestly? The list was longer than I expected. There's the obvious stuff — those jeans from 2019 that I keep saying I'll fit into again someday, the supplements I bought and never took, the workout plans I printed but never followed...

But then there's the harder stuff. The guilt I carry about not being the perfect guardian to Chloe and Grayson. The pressure I put on myself to have it all together for y'all on social media. The fear that if I'm too honest about my struggles, people will think I'm weak or complaining. News flash to myself: vulnerability is not weakness. It's the bravest thing we can do.

So this spring, I'm cleaning it all out. The physical clutter, yes — goodbye to those size 4 dresses that haven't fit since before my hormones went haywire. But also the mental clutter. I'm done apologizing for taking medication that helps me feel like myself. I'm done feeling guilty for needing help, whether that's with my health, my mental wellness, or just getting Grayson to basketball practice on time.

I've been taking NAD+ injections for energy (because let's be real, this mama is TIRED), and you know what? It's working. I actually had the energy to take Chloe shopping last weekend without needing a nap afterward. That might not sound like much, but for someone who used to crash at 3 pm every day... it's everything.

Here's what I want y'all to know: spring cleaning your life doesn't mean you have to do it alone. It doesn't mean you have to be perfect. It just means you're ready to let go of what's not serving you anymore. Maybe that's old medications, maybe it's old mindsets, maybe it's that voice in your head that says you're not doing enough.

This weekend, I challenge you to pick one thing — just one — to spring clean from your life. Maybe it's finally booking that doctor's appointment you've been putting off. Maybe it's throwing away those jeans that make you feel bad every time you see them. Maybe it's just giving yourself permission to not be okay sometimes. Whatever it is, know that I'm right there with you, probably crying a little, definitely praying a lot, and always choosing grace over perfection. xo, Savannah
