About Me

Hi! My name is Caitlin! I live in Minnesota… Or as we call it… Minnesnowta! I have a small 10 year old Pekingese/shih-tzu mix named Pikachu. Pikachu and I live with my boyfriend of 1 year, Nick, and his dog Nikita. I used to be a preschool special education teacher until I decided I needed a break from the demands of a teacher and am now a job coach for adults with disabilities.

How I Can Help

I was a preschool/preschool special Ed teacher for 7 years until recently so working with children is definitely a passion for me! I’ve played volleyball a lot for most of my life and coached a group of 7th and 8th graders when I was in High school. I’ve also been in choir and/or singing lessons for a number of years as I love singing!

Interests

Volleyball, singing, and art are some of my favorite things to do!

This app is absolutely amazing!
It was suggested to me a few weeks ago and I have been on it daily. I've tried so many self-care apps before this one and I have found this app to be hands-down the most effective and fun! What other self-care app allows you to care for and hatch a baby finch?! I have also found the check-ins to be very useful because the app will offer first-aid (a list of therapy skills and activities,) if my mood is low. It has also helped me to track my moods and feelings because I'm given a weekly letter that shows the past week's progress. The attached pictures show that you can setup affirmations to be sent to you each time you open the app.
I love that I have been able to invite friends to get the app and then we can send each other good vibes ("hugs," and "gratitude," etc.) I have suggested it to a handful of friends and am hoping to get more people on here because I have found it so beneficial for my mental health and hope to see it help others too!

The services at Selah started out absolutely amazing and I can thank them for helping me to learn to advocate for myself. I had a true connection with the staff and appreciated the work and efforts they put into helping me with my anxiety and depression. If it weren't for their services, I don't know where I would be right now.
However, I felt the need to rate the company at a 3 due to the fact that I felt things changed as the building opened. I felt that my needs were no longer being fully met as I was struggling to receive phone replies, and appointments were sometimes needing to be changed last minute. In addition, I was showing up to video appointments that providers weren't. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety and my depression was severe at the time, it was extremely difficult to rely on providers and not always get the result I was needing. Therefore, I decided it was time I moved onto a medication provider/psychiatrist elsewhere. In doing so, I felt I was accused of making a decision that would affect them and felt extremely disrespected after that… To a point that landed me in a severe depression for a short period blaming myself for wanting to change providers.

I'm close to a few people that worked at the Knife river in Bemidji and noticed that many staff were often not concerned with the safety of their employees. Employees were pushed to be at work even during bad road conditions, especially snow.

Bemidji Knife River staff also did not often abide with statements they had made previously. For example: employees were informed they would have the opportunity to park their truck near their home in order to avoid having to do extra driving. However, this was only allowed on a couple of occasions.

In hearing many conversations of employees, it was felt that this specific location did not show much of an understanding for taking time off for family/medical needs, etc. One example of this is when an employee requested to be scheduled a certain number of days due to a recent medical emergency. However, Bemidji staff informed her they would need her when they needed her forcing the employee to work around her medical schedule.

I just completed Alyssa Hall's third book "Romero Pools" and am at a loss for words… It was truly amazing and the love story was so inspiring! I was tearing up for a lot of the ending because of how beautiful it was! What I also loved about it was that there was a murder mystery wound within the love story and I am a sucker for murder mysteries. Now, it's time to move onto "Trusting Claire." I will add that I'm not a big reader as I don't typically "find" time to read and have a difficult time getting interested in books, but I loved this book just from reading the back cover and couldn't put it down once I started reading it. While it is not necessary to read her books in a specific order, she does state that starting with "Trusting Claire" helps a reader to get the background of some of the characters.

I started noom in November, 2022 and have loved it! I don't mind the overall price considering it includes an app where I am able to log my meals while the app calculates my calories for me, log my weight, learn new recipes, and best of all… learn so much about my eating habits and what I can do to work toward changing them for 8 months! The only piece I've had a bit of a difficult time with is the cost of the Behavior Coach. Unfortunately, the cost of the behavior coach is monthly and pricey but my Behavior Coach has been super motivating, and helps keep me on track with my individual goals. Therefore, I have decided it's worth the money in order to feel better about myself and work towards making healthier choices. Noom has helped me to lose weight and have more confidence in myself while other programs only ended up making me feel like a failure. Noom is based off research and everything is written by psychologists and it has never made me feel guilty for making choices that aren't as healthy, it just helps me to stay on track and remember that I am human and it's ok to have foods that aren't as healthy sometimes too. I have referred a number of friends and family to noom already!

I'm not sure I would rate this store at 1 star but I didn't think it would allow me to leave it at 0 stars. I ordered an autographed picture on December 12th, 2022 as a Christmas gift. It was expected to be delivered February 2nd. While the initial date of February 2nd (almost two months from my order date, upset me, I just went with it.) Last week on February 2nd, I had not received my order. I decided to track my order (which wasn't helpful as it just kept telling me my delivery date was estimated for February 2nd,) and I happened to come along a note on the website that delays were to be expected. Delays?! I had waited long enough! I had no idea where my package was and hadn't heard from anyone about my individual package. It is now February 9th and I just received an email yesterday that my order will ship no later than February 24th. How do I even know that this date is to be true this time? There was even a point awhile back that I had to check that this website wasn't a scam because I hadn't heard from people about my insanely delayed package. Rarely do I do surveys or get upset with orders/ services because I'm a pretty easy going person, but this is unacceptable!
