About

Hi, I’m Kaydawn.

I’m a therapist, writer, nap enthusiast, world-class overthinker, and someone who believes some of life’s greatest lessons show up in the most unexpected places.

But First, a Nap began as a blog about procrastination, ADHD, and learning to laugh at myself. Somewhere along the way, it became something more.

Now it’s a place for stories.

Stories about grief and hope. Faith and doubt. Anxiety and healing. The people we love. The questions that keep us up at night. And the ordinary moments that quietly change us.

I don’t have all the answers. Most weeks, I’m still figuring things out myself.

What I do have are stories. Some are funny. Some are tender. Some are born in therapy offices, rehab centers, church pews, or over a root beer float.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we don’t have to have perfect lives to find meaning in them.

So pull up a chair.

We’ll laugh when we can, cry when we need to, ask better questions, and remind each other that growth rarely happens all at once.

And if we need a nap along the way…

Well, that’s okay too.
