"Dear Diary, today I spoke with one of my heroes, KC Davis."
That's how I'd tell my diary that LPC, TikTok creator, author and founder of Struggle Care, KC Davis, was on my podcast.
I was drowning in shame and anxiety at the start of the pandemic. Everywhere I looked were diapers, unfinished tasks, and reminders that I no longer had it in me to fake it. Even if it made me a lazy, gross person (IT DID NOT EVER), I couldn't muster up the energy or focus to have a "clean" home anymore.
Cue KC Davis, or Domesticblisters on TikTok. KC was a mom, licensed professional counselor, and human being with her own experiences with mental health impacting care tasks.
She quickly became a favorite follow of mine. I was regularly sending her videos to family and friends, going “SHE GETS IT.”
Because she DOES. She understands the underlying shame surrounding our output, the state of our homes, the state of our physical bodies, and speaks to the unfair ways in which labor is so often divided up in households.
She’s been featured in places like Momtastic, UPworthy, The Washington Post, is an Amazon Bestselling Author, and has created an informed, educational place for people who feel like they’re drowning.
StruggleCare has become a way in which countless people have worked through shame to find self-kindness and functionality. I’m beyond amazed that I got to sit down with her and speak to the shame around care tasks and surviving with less shame.
