For the longest time I thought I was alone in my anxiety and waves of depression. It turned out I was so wrong and I’m so glad I stayed.

for everyone who's ever wanted to give up

You will find your way back. And your baby will love you no matter what. Because in all the chaos, love was never missing.

Imagine a world just for you. Now, believe that you can create it because you can.

For the women in my family

You've seen struggles, and you came of age at a time when it wasn't easy to talk about them. You're an inspiration to me every day. I wish someone could have told you it was OK not to be OK -- but I dream of a future where women like you have the space and support to know that. ❤️

For every young person who doesn't feel like they belong...

Don't change who you are to fit into a mold that wasn't made for you. Your quirks, your passions, and the things that make you different, are your superpowers. The right people-your people-will be drawn to the real you. Keep being brave. The world needs what you have to offer and your community is out there waiting for you to find it.

Our Son Devon

Devon graced our world on June 13, 1995. As a boy he was always smiling, full of energy and mischief. He loved to dance... we thought of him as a free spirit. As the years went on, Devon stayed quite active, much preferring outdoor activities over school. He became somewhat of a thrill seeker and risk taker.

Devon was only 20 when he took his life on November 13, 2015. Nothing can prepare a parent for the death of a child. Sadly, our story is all too common and it is our deep desire that by sharing Devon’s story, we can help prevent another family from suffering the unbearable loss of someone they love to suicide.

Don’t let their story end;

For your friendship - you loved many people deeply and I'm so lucky to have been among them. And also for 20-year-old me trying to support you through your darkest times. Sending love and light and gratitude that OMM is offering young people the support and care we needed all those years ago.

For anyone struggling ❤️‍🩹

You are not alone. Remember this storm is temporary. You are enough and loved. Keep going, don’t give up. It’s okay to not be okay. #HelpDefeatTheStigma

For those who are afraid to seek help

2025-09-04 13:34:35 UTC

Just as everyone has physical health, we all have mental health too. Many of us face similar challenges, yet stigma can make it hard to seek help. May you never feel alone, remember you don’t have to carry the weight by yourself, and you don’t have to be “strong” all the time. There are people who care about you and are here for you because you matter ❤️

For Clarky

Jordyn Clark was a mentor to me both on and off the field. She was so full of life and love; you could feel her energy the moment she walked into a room. Losing her in 2021 felt like I lost a part of me. In her honor, we created the Jordyn Clark Foundation, a MN-based non-profit dedicated to honoring her in all ways. We will continue to share her story and the bright light that she left with us all. Please remember that there is always hope, there is always help. I miss you Clarky.

Because maybe, just maybe, it will get better

Hang on, trust me. If you need hope and can’t seem to muster it yourself - hang on to my hope for you ♥️
