About Me

For years, I lived in a space that looked tidy on the outside but was drowning in chaos on the inside—both in my home and in my heart. I was caught in the fog of a toxic relationship, unsure of my worth, second-guessing my truth, and losing pieces of myself under the weight of someone else’s control.

But here’s the twist: cleaning helped save me.

When I couldn’t control the pain, I scrubbed a counter.
When I felt like I was unraveling, I folded laundry into neat little rows.
When I finally said no more—I took out the trash, literally and emotionally.

And now? I want to help others do the same.

The Dust Settles is more than a blog—it’s a space for healing, truth-telling, and transformation.
Here, you’ll find real cleaning tips, heartfelt wisdom, and no-BS insight into what it means to reclaim your space and your sanity after surviving toxic relationships.
