I Asked for Help

November 20, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 5 Comments

I Asked for Help

I Asked For Help This is a follow-up piece to the post “When Life Isn’t Funny.”  I walked into my psychiatrist’s office practically vibrating. I was so anxious; anxious to tell him what was going on, anxious that he wouldn’t understand, anxious that he’d think my plan was a bad one- JUST ANXIOUS.  I’ve seen […]

Teaching My Child to Be Strong With Her Voice

November 3, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 7 Comments

Teaching My Child to Be Strong With Her Voice

“Your voice is one of the most powerful things you have” I told my young one. She’s been working side-by-side with a girl who is a bit above her reading level, and the girl knows it. She points out all of my daughter’s mistakes– loudly and aggressively. If there is anything to know about my […]

When Life Isn’t Funny

October 23, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 16 Comments

When Life Isn’t Funny

When Life Isn’t Funny I’ve been through enough shit in my life that I’m fairly decent at finding the humor in just about anything. If there is no humor to be found, I can hang. I’m good at hanging; hanging on. I’m pretty decent at handling life’s ups and downs. When your life has sat on […]

No, This Costume Is Not Funny

No, This Costume Is Not Funny

I’ll openly admit that Kim Kardashian is not someone that comes to mind when I think of people that I relate to. Our lives couldn’t be more different, however, she is a human being that deserves my respect as a fellow human on this planet. I saw this pop up as a costume that some […]

I’m Scared That You’re Just Like Me

September 25, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 4 Comments

I’m Scared That You’re Just Like Me

I love that you’re like me, but I’m scared that you’re just like me.  I see your impulsiveness, just as I recognize my own. I love that when you have an idea, you must dive in, however, I worry that when you have an idea, you dive in without hypothesizing or with a plan in place. […]

FEMINISM: What the Hell Happened?

It was Spring 2003, my freshman year of college; I was 18 years old and had just started my COM316 course: Gender in Communication. The first day of class went as any normal first lecture; the professor went over the syllabus and instructed us students what book to buy, what chapter to read first, and […]

The EpiPen: An Open Letter to Mylan’s CEO, Heather Bresch

The EpiPen: An Open Letter to Mylan’s CEO, Heather Bresch

Ms. Bresch, I saw a photo of you on Fox News Insider’s page where it appeared you were sitting in your office. Directly behind you hung your bulletin board, where I saw photos of, what I’d suspect to be your children. The background of my office is quite like yours, with a bulletin board adorned with photos […]

Amber Heard & Johnny Depp: Domestic Violence, Celebrity & Accountability

Amber Heard & Johnny Depp: Domestic Violence, Celebrity & Accountability

One of the biggest fears a woman faces when speaking out about domestic violence is that no one will believe her. As women, we empower one another, we remind each other that we have one another’s backs and that an abusive relationship of any form is NEVER okay. We support our friends when they are […]
