As someone who's dealt with severe allergy symptoms in Sacramento my whole life, I have been a regular on the seasonal allergy struggle bus. Between cycling allergy meds and knowing which steroids to use when, I thought the suffering was normal. That was until I started making some lifestyle changes to adapt and find real relief.
I used to get chronic sinus infections every winter/spring, which made me miserably miserable. That's why Summer is my favorite season—it's so hot that everything basically begins to die. Muahaha...
Since adopting a few easy lifestyle changes, I rarely experience sinus infections or severe symptoms from seasonal/environmental allergies. I have also been able to slowly transition away from over-the-counter allergy pills and prescription steroids. That's the biggest win in my book.

2022 was a tough year for me. I was working in SaaS operations and legal services, and we were all working from home because of the pandemic. I was constantly on high alert to keep my at risk elderly grandma as healthy as possible and safe from contracting ANY virus. On top of that, my dog was having these recurring seizures and stomach issues that we couldn't figure out. It was just a lot to handle. That is when it all came to a head for me.
It took a toll on me emotionally and physically and I'm still feeling torn. On one hand, I'm in this transition to a new career that I'm really excited about and I feel like I'm making a difference in the world. But on the other hand, I've got two lovely old ladies who I love dearly and need my help: my 81 year old Poa Poa (grandma) and 10 year old Daisy baby (family dog). And honestly, it can be a bit of a struggle to balance it all....
