About Me - Jenny G

I’m Jenny, a proud Nevadan, cat mom to four furballs, and mom to one amazing kiddo. I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs, dealing with undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I’m here to share my story, the lessons I’ve learned, and to offer tools and resources that might help others along their own chaotic journey.

Growing up, I didn’t know I had ADHD. I just thought I was a mess and couldn’t figure out why things were so fucking difficult. It wasn’t up until about 2 years ago that I startedd to understand what was really going on. I’ve struggled with anxiety (probably since at least a preteen) and depression for years, and it’s been a long road toward acceptance and healing. I used to feel like I was always swimming against the tide, but now I know that it’s okay to ask for help and take the time to heal.

Some days are easier than others. There are mornings when I struggle, but I HAVE to get out of bed, days when anxiety (almost to the point of crippling) gets the best of me, and moments when I feel like I’m failing. But those moments are part of my journey, and I’m learning to embrace them as part of my growth. I’ve found small ways to manage these challenges, like taking time for self-care or using grounding techniques during overwhelming moments. Deep-breathing has been the one I've managed to make a habit out of, so it's my go to at the moment. These are the kinds of tools I’ll be sharing with you.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that healing doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no magical moment where everything is fixed, and that’s okay. It’s all about small steps—taking care of my body, reaching out for support when I need it, and staying true to myself. Learning to live with mental health challenges has taught me to be kinder to myself and accept the messy parts of life.

I started Shifting Thru Chaos because I wanted to create a space where people could come for real, unfiltered advice, a laugh, and to know that they aren’t alone in their struggles. This blog is my way of sharing my lessons, my victories, and my setbacks with you. I hope to inspire others to embrace their imperfections and keep moving forward, no matter how chaotic life gets.

Here on the blog, you’ll find everything from practical tips for managing anxiety and ADHD to personal stories of growth and resilience. I’ll be sharing tools, book recommendations, mental health resources, and even some humor to keep things light. I want you to feel supported and understood here, no matter where you are on your journey.

When I’m not writing about mental health or wrestling with my ADHD, you’ll find me binge-watching Ancient Aliens and other types of documentaries, traveling, enjoying my babies time, or hanging out with my four cats. I believe in balance, so I also love getting outside, hiking in the Nevada mountains, enjoying a motorcycle ride, and soaking up some sunshine whenever I can.

As I continue on my mental health journey, I’m excited to see where this blog takes me. My ultimate goal is to build a community of people who are ready to be real, share their stories, and support each other through the chaos. If you’re looking for a place where you can be yourself—imperfections and all—then you’re in the right spot.

Thank you for being here. We got this!
