And Still I Rise

It has been a long while since I have uttered up the strength to write and be vulnerable, but I figured no better time than Mental Health Awareness Day.

Meet the mind behind Meraki

Hello, I'm Alysia. A passionate mental health advocate, learning to hold space for self growth and healing.

Meraki in Mind is where I share my journey of growth, healing, and intentional living. I started this space because I needed a place to process my own mental health struggles and to turn them into something meaningful—not just for me, but for anyone walking a similar path.

Writing, reflecting, and creating have always been my ways of understanding the world, and through Meraki in Mind, I hope to offer that same clarity and comfort to others. Here, I share honest thoughts about mental health, personal growth, and the little rituals that bring balance and peace to everyday life.

Meraki means putting your heart and soul into what you do, and that’s exactly what I try to do—pouring heart, care, and creativity into advocating about mental health. This isn’t just a blog; it’s a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, with your mind, and with the moments that make life worth living.

Be Kind. Give Grace. Spread Love.
