I love coffee. This blog kinda runs on coffee. However. Recently, I’ve been really stressed and looking at ways to help my overall anxiety. Would cutting out coffee help my insomnia, too? My husband sleeps so well, I was getting jealous. And could I do more during the day with coffee, or without it? Is coffee culture just a social thing? I’m not a quitter, but when I do, it’s cold turkey. (I’m also not a doctor, maybe don’t try…
OK, so. real talk, I’ve been working on this post since I turned 38 (and also forever). My birthday happened a while ago. The point of this post is not to wish me a belated happy birthday.
