The tricky part about invisible weight is that it doesn't always feel like weight. It feels like snapping over something small. It feels like forgetting what you actually enjoy. It feels like being in a room full of people who love you and still feeling completely alone.

About the Founder
I'm Dannie — a single mom, a cycle-breaker, and the founder of Let's Raise These Kids. I built LRTK because I needed it to exist.
