✨ When Love Helps You Grow — Not Disappear ✨

There’s a big difference between changing for the better in a relationship and changing because you’ve slowly lost yourself.

Sometimes it’s subtle.
Some women stop doing the things they once loved. They care less about their bodies, their passions, their dreams. The spark in their eyes fades. They go along with what their partner wants, even when it doesn’t feel good to them. Friendships get quieter. Joy feels distant. Life becomes smaller.

That’s not love helping you grow.
That’s love costing you you.

Changing for the better feels very different.
It feels energizing, not draining.
You feel more proud of who you’re becoming.
More alive. More challenged in a healthy way.
You’re growing into a happier, stronger, more grounded version of yourself, not shrinking to fit someone else’s world.

I’ve seen this clearly in my own relationship.
My husband used to smoke, drink a lot of coffee, eat less healthy, and avoided ethnic foods. After we met, he quit smoking, significantly reduced his coffee intake, lost 60 pounds, became very physically active, cooks nourishing meals for us regularly, and genuinely enjoys exploring ethnic foods now.

And I’ve changed too, in ways that feel right.
I’m more comfortable dressing casually.
I enjoy going to the gym regularly.
I’ve become more outgoing and at ease socially.

None of this came from pressure.
It came from feeling safe, inspired, and supported to grow.

So here’s something worth reflecting on:
• Do you feel more like yourself, or less?
• Are you more energized, or quietly exhausted?
• Are your dreams expanding, or slowly disappearing?
• If nothing changed, would you feel proud of who you’re becoming?

A healthy relationship doesn’t dim your light.
It helps you shine brighter, as you!

If this resonates, take a moment. Be honest with yourself. Growth is always possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.

A Night of Connection, Gratitude & Belonging

After coming home from our amazing trip to Harrison Hot Springs, we quickly got ready for something just as special — the Lac Viet Appreciation Event over 32 years of community engagement.

We were honoured to be invited to this beautiful Vietnamese celebration filled with meaningful connections, warm energy, and an incredible 10-course Chinese-style meal at Pink Pearl Restaurant. With about 200 people in attendance, the room was alive with connection and joy. We were seated at a table full of friends and colleagues, and the night unfolded with laughter, great conversations, live music, and truly delicious food.

Moments like these remind me how powerful community is.

Hans, one of the few Caucasians there, felt genuinely welcomed and accepted, which meant so much to both of us. I had the chance to chat with many people from the Vietnamese community, some I've known for years, and some I've just met. And my heart felt full. The sense of connection, belonging, and shared joy was undeniable.

We felt so blessed and deeply grateful to be included in Lac Viet’s 32nd anniversary celebration. Thank you for your warmth, generosity, and for creating a space where everyone feels seen and valued.

Community matters. Connection matters. And when we come together, something beautiful always happens.
Reach out!

Full, Present, and So Grateful

Another amazing, sun-soaked day in Harrison Hot Springs ☀️

Yesterday afternoon, before dinner, we took Cadence for a long walk to explore the neighbourhood. Quiet streets, fresh air, slow steps—one of those simple moments that gently settles you into a place.

Last night began at a German restaurant, and my husband was completely in his element. Watching him enjoy his people’s food made my heart smile. Every bite felt meaningful—comfort, memories, familiarity. I enjoyed listening to Hans speaking German to the server. We happily stuffed ourselves with appetizers, entrées, and desserts, lingering longer than planned because the moment felt too good to rush. We talked, flirted, and laughed like a young couple with nowhere else to be.

Afterward, we soaked in the hot pools, floating side by side, still talking, still laughing, before heading to bed. The natural mineral hot spring water made our skin feel unbelievably soft, and Hans kept saying how loose and free his joints felt. I slept so deeply—hands down the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Emotionally full. Physically restored.

This morning, we eased into the day by slipping straight back into the hot pools after waking up. Warm water, quiet smiles, bodies unwinding. Pure bliss.

The sun showed up again today, so we went jet boating along Harrison Lake and the Harrison River. Just the two of us beside the captain—it felt like a private tour. Wind in our faces, sparkling water, shared laughter.

We finished with fantastic soups and burgers, and now we’re doing absolutely nothing—resting, napping, letting it all sink in. Soon it’ll be dinner and more soaking, because moments like this deserve to be stretched out.

This is your reminder: slow down, savour love, laugh freely, and reach out for the moments that soften your body and fill your heart 💛

A Grateful Pause in the Middle of the Rush

Feeling deeply thankful tonight 💛
Hans was gifted a two-night stay at Harrison Hot Springs Resort by his former boss, and what a beautiful reminder this is to slow down—especially after the busy holiday season.

I was just here a month ago with a very good friend, laughing, soaking, and making memories. And now I’m back again, this time with my hubby. Same peaceful place, a whole new layer of gratitude.

Two nights to truly unwind. To soak in the pools, enjoy good food, have unhurried conversations, and relax… really relax… together. No rushing. No to-do lists. Just presence.

These moments remind me how powerful it is to pause and receive. Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Even a short getaway can soften the nervous system and refill the cup when we allow ourselves to fully be in it.

Thank you so much Mary for this fantastic gift! You are an amazing boss!

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, consider this your gentle reminder: you deserve rest too. You don’t need a reason. You don’t need permission.

Sending warmth, calm, and encouragement your way. Reach out if you need a reminder to slow down—you’re not alone. 💫

A Full Cup, A New Chapter ☕✨

It’s been almost two months since I last shared here. Life has gently unfolded into a beautiful new rhythm since moving back to the city.

Hans and I are still grounding ourselves with the gym and long walks with Cadence. And we’ve also been saying yes to more joy — dancing, wandering through shops, discovering new restaurants, and exploring our neighbourhood around the Quay in New West.

There’s been so much heart-filling connection too. One-on-one moments and group time with family and friends. Hans soaking up precious time with his son and grandson. These are the moments that quietly remind us what really matters.

After the holidays, my practice has been a little slower — as many people are still recovering and recalibrating. And yet, I’ve been deeply grateful to connect with many new clients along the way. Meaningful conversations. Brave stories. Honest healing.

My cup has felt very full — not in a busy way, but in a nourished way.

How’s your cup lately?
Does it feel empty, overflowing, or somewhere in between?
Are there changes you’ve been feeling called to make — to create more peace, more ease, more happiness in your life?

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’re feeling ready for support, clarity, or simply a safe space to land, reach out! I’m here, and I’d be honoured to support you 🤍

Trust the Twist in Your Journey

It’s my fourth day in our new place… and I’m really enjoying it. We’re right along the river by the Quay in New West, where people go for a stroll or a run, walk their dogs, laugh, and truly live. Every time I open the patio door, I hear the water fountain — a sound I’ve always loved. And it hits me: three years ago, I envisioned living in a place exactly like this. By the water. In a friendly community. Surrounded by nature and warmth.

We tried to make that vision work in Richmond, and even though it was near the river, it wasn’t truly what I had imagined. I thought maybe “close enough” was good enough. But life had other plans. After twists, patience, and persistence… we ended up here, exactly where I once dreamed.

This home is about 1300 square feet — spacious, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by wonderful landscaping. It feels more like a house than a condo. Sometimes I still get lost in it because it’s so big. Being on the main floor with our own patio entrance, it even feels like a spacious townhouse.

Out of the seven places we viewed, this one was our favourite. And ironically… we almost didn’t see it. Our car battery died right at the appointment time. But we pushed through, the realtor squeezed us in, and it ended up being the last place, the one that felt right.

Life tests you. It takes you around. It asks, “Do you trust me?”
And if you stay faithful to your vision, if you keep walking… it delivers.

Even though it was my idea to move back to the city, now Hans is absolutely loving it. Morning and evening dog walks by the river, and yesterday, a little date walking our dog to a nearby coffee shop. For now, I’m here on my own for a month before he moves down permanently. And honestly… I enjoy it. He set up as much as he could before heading back to Powell River — a loving gesture to make me comfortable.

Sometimes you don’t get what you want right away.
Sometimes you get something even better — in the right time, the right way.

Have faith. Trust the twists. Your vision knows where it’s taking you.

Your Life, Your Rules

Has any of these stopped you from being happy and free?

Convenience and Comfort: When I was 18, I moved out on my own. As a blind person, it was inconvenient and uncomfortable. For 15 years before I met my husband, I had to figure out everything by myself—cooking, cleaning, navigating the world. It wasn’t easy, but that experience shaped me. It taught me independence, resilience, and the quiet confidence that I can handle life on my own terms.
👉 What challenges are you avoiding because they feel uncomfortable? Don’t let convenience rob you of your strength!

Dependency and Support: When I was younger, I was in a long-term relationship for several years with someone who gave me a lot of emotional and physical support. I leaned on him. I became dependent. But deep down, I knew we weren’t right for each other. Letting go was hard, but necessary.
👉 Have you ever stayed in something because it felt safe? Sometimes, walking away is the first step toward freedom.

Status and Comparison: I've been with men who had impressive careers and high status. They made more money than me. But when the relationship no longer aligned with my values or my peace, I walked away, regardless of what I could gain or lose.
👉 Remember, your worth isn’t measured by who you're. -it's measured by how true you are to yourself.

Money and Security: I once left a job that paid very well to build my own therapy practice. I also walked away from situations where I knew I’d lose money just to stay true to myself. I love money, but I never let it control my happiness or my freedom.
👉 What’s something you’re holding onto for the wrong reason—fear, comfort, or money?

As women, we must do what we believe in, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or uncertain. That’s how we build self-respect, and that’s when others start to respect us too.

Everyone will have opinions about what’s “right.” Don’t listen to them. Listen to you! You’re the one living your life.

💫 So what’s something your heart’s been whispering to, but fear has been holding you back?
Go ahead! Follow your heart! Create your own path!

From His Mother to His Muse

Have you ever felt like you’ve become everything in your relationship except his woman?

Maybe you’ve turned into his mother — reminding him what to do, fixing his mistakes, carrying the weight of everyone’s needs. Or perhaps you’ve become his manager — organizing, planning, and making sure life runs smoothly. Sometimes you might even feel like his teacher — explaining, correcting, scolding, guiding him toward what you think he should understand by now.

Other days, it’s like you’re just housemates — sharing a home, raising kids, dividing chores, but missing that spark. And if you’re the mother of his children, your caring side never turns off. You’re loving, responsible, protective… yet somewhere along the way, the lover in you got buried beneath all those roles.

You miss being seen, touched, and desired, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. You miss the playfulness, the teasing, the chemistry that made you feel alive.

When a woman constantly leads, mothers, teaches, or manages, she evokes obedience, defensiveness, resentment, disconnection, or passivity in a man, not passion. He may respect you, depend on you, even love you... like his companion. But he won’t desire you. He won’t feel excited by you. Because desire doesn’t grow in duty. It grows in polarity.

But everything shifts when you come home to your feminine energy. When you soften, receive, and let go of control. When you stop teaching and start trusting. When you stop managing and start inviting.

That’s when he starts looking at you like his lover again. His girlfriend. The woman who makes him feel alive, desired, and powerful.

She doesn’t chase or correct. She radiates warmth, playfulness, and confidence. She lets him lead sometimes. She allows herself to laugh, to feel, to be adored.

If you’ve been feeling like his mother, teacher, or manager instead of his woman, it's time to reconnect with the woman who makes his heart race again. Reach out! Let’s bring her back!

From Doormat to Dream Woman

I once worked with a woman who always said “yes” even when her heart screamed “no.”
She apologized when she hadn’t done anything wrong. She walked on eggshells, terrified of conflict.
She gave endlessly—her time, her energy, her love—until she was empty.
She believed being “nice” would make her loved. But instead, she felt invisible.

Her turning point came the day she looked in the mirror and said, “I’m done begging for crumbs of love.” That moment changed everything!

Now, she stops overexplaining.
She says “no” without guilt.
She speaks her truth calmly but firmly.
She no longer chases. She receives.
And as she does, something magical happens. Her partner begins to see her differently.

He admires her confidence.
He respects her boundaries.
He cherishes her for who she is.
She’s no longer his doormat. She's his dream woman.

Signs you might be playing the doormat:
• You feel anxious when someone is upset with you.
• You agree to things that make you resentful.
• You overgive but feel underappreciated.
• You fear saying no will make you unloved.
• You minimize your needs to keep the peace.

How to change?
Honour your feelings instead of dismissing them.
Speak up, even if your voice shakes.
Set boundaries not to push love away, but to protect your peace.
Remember: real love doesn’t require you to shrink.

When you rise into your worth, you stop being a doormat, and become the woman who is valued, adored, and deeply respected.

You deserve that kind of love! 💛
Reach out if you’re ready to step into your power!

Toxic MASCULINITY Vs. Healthy Masculinity: When Strength Turns Into Armour

At first, he felt safe. Grounded. Strong.
He took charge, made decisions, seemed unshakable. You felt drawn to that certainty, especially when everything else felt uncertain.

But slowly, that strength starts to sting.
You begin doubting yourself.
You stop sharing your thoughts because he always “knows better.”
You hold back tears because he says you’re “too sensitive.”
You apologize for things that aren’t your fault.
You shrink a little more each day to keep the peace, smiling while something inside you aches.

That’s the quiet pain of toxic masculinity.
It convinces you to question your intuition.
It teaches you to mistake control for care and dominance for confidence.
It makes you believe love should feel heavy, when real love feels light.

Healthy masculinity feels different.
It’s calm, not cold.
Strong, not forceful.
It makes space for your voice, your feelings, your power.
He leads and listens. Protects and respects. He doesn’t need to win every argument, because he’s already at peace within himself.

When you’re with a man ruled by toxic masculinity, you can feel yourself disappearing.
You silence your needs hoping he’ll soften.
You start walking on eggshells, trying not to trigger his disapproval.
But you can’t heal him by losing yourself.
Your silence doesn’t save the relationship. It only buries your spirit deeper.

You begin healing the moment you reconnect with you.
When you speak your truth, even if your voice trembles.
When you remember the woman you were before you learned to tiptoe.
When you stop calling your pain “normal.”

Real love doesn’t drain you. It nourishes you.
You deserve a man whose strength makes you feel safe, not small.

❤️ If this speaks to your heart, reach out! You’re not alone.

A New Chapter Begins 🌊➡️🌉

With a mix of excitement and a touch of sadness, I’m getting ready to say goodbye to Powell River and move to New Westminster on the 15th of this month. It’s never easy to leave a place that has held so many memories, laughter, and growth. But sometimes, a new chapter calls, and your heart knows it’s time to answer.

If you’d like to see me next week before I go, reach out! I'd love to connect before this transition. Powell River will always be special to me, and I plan to come back a few times each year.

I’m excited for this next step—moving from an oceanfront home to a beautiful, spacious riverfront condo by the Quay. As a Pisces, it feels fitting that I’ll still be close to the water. There’s something about flowing with life’s current, trusting where it takes you, that feels right.

Here’s to new beginnings, new opportunities, and staying connected no matter the distance. 💫
Here’s to a great new start!
