I’m a busy, working mom of a wonderful teenage daughter. I also take care of my mother, who has dementia. I’ve been so tired lately. My doctor told me that my blood pressure is high.
 
I really feel like everything’s just too much and have been getting stressed out a lot. Being impatient and getting upset isn’t a good thing. I’m a school teacher. I feel I’m not my best self for my family or my students.
 
I really want to get my health in order. I need help to make this happen. It's time for a change!
