Hi everyone, My name is Mandy Mellencamp (I’ve been married for four years but haven’t changed my name yet). I’m 29 years old - born in Tucson and raised in good ‘ol Prescott, Arizona. I don’t remember my childhood ever being boring. My sister, Sara, and I always partook in an activity, whether it be…

Send Me Up

Sadie sat in silence and closed her eyes in an effort to stop the world from spinning. She could picture Amy’s forehead plunked down into her sweaty palms. She lived in Florida… it’s not as if she could jump in her Range Rover and speed on over to the Texas hospital where their dad was…

A Masterpiece and a Work In Progress

Mental HealthMarch 1, 20200Comments

For many, the thought of self-care sparks images of bubble baths, face masks and “treat yo self” memes. While the images conjured may be accurate, they are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to self-care. The term has been thrown around social media platforms a lot recently and I have to say,…

Start Me Up

Listen to the Audio Version Instead: Start Me Up “Damn it. Piece of shit!” she shouted at her dirty black steering wheel, turning the key for the fifth time to hear that dreaded clicking sound. Sadie wasn’t paying for Triple A anymore, but she had a picture of her dad’s card that she wouldn’t hesitate to…

My name is Lysa Page and I live with an eating disorder (currently in remission). I am 53 and was born in New Hampshire; I lived there until I was nine.

Listen to the Audio Version Instead: Food is Life & It's Ivory's Birthday FOOD – Wow. What a broad topic with so many potential paths to go down. I feel like I’m at a stop sign, but instead of being at a four-way stop, it’s a 978-way stop, and Google Maps isn’t working (does anyone actually…

I Am Addicted to Fear

Mental HealthFebruary 16, 20200Comments

Hey, my name is David and I am addicted to fear. Allow me to preamble my introduction by saying that I have actively been avoiding writing this blog entry. I have, and will continue to be, cognizant of my past and the avenues that my addiction has dragged me down, kicking and screaming. The fear…

I’m Home

InterviewsFebruary 9, 20200Comments

Welcome, everyone. To my second face to face interview for Coffee With A Question. Caitlin Teich - a strong, beautiful, talented, driven (did I mention strong?) soul. I arrived at her house Sunday afternoon as she and her husband were getting out of their car - they’d just seen Knives Out so we exchanged theories…

Lani And The Dandelion

UncategorizedFebruary 5, 20200Comments

“Mom, what are you doing?” Lani asked as she poked down on her mother’s straight back, which donned a beige-colored tank top. London rose from child’s pose to lock eyes with her curious five-year-old daughter. She thought she was the only one awake at 6am on a Saturday and always took this time to set…

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Listen to the Audio Version Instead: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Before I start this piece, I want to take a moment to recognize the loss of Kobe Bryant. Sometimes you don’t realize the impact someone has on your life until they’re gone. It goes to show the energy and pull people have. You don’t need…
