The last few weeks I have had the honor of processing in a deep and powerful way.

Finding a support team that helps you heal and grow in a way that is deeper than you could ever imagine and feels like a soft warm blanket is everything.

I have been meeting myself in ways I never have. Painful and peaceful. Terrible and incredible. This capacity. This knowing. It’s everything I have ever wanted.

Why am I sharing this? The capacity I have to go to the most painful places to meet and be with myself is reflected in my ability to hold space for you.

No toxic positivity. No pleasantries. No expectations. Just fully and wholly here for it all.

I’ve been obsessed with my legacy for a lifetime and I’ve realized that this is it. To sit with every single thing that is beautiful and terrible. For me and for you.

I deserve to feel it all. Every single ounce of this human experience. I have the capacity for it all. And so do you.

What is possible for our world when we address the war inside ourself? I am so curious. I don’t have the answers for you but you do.

Self exploration is so beautiful because it’s yours. You get to decide how to play with it, hold it, and interact with it. You get to decide what is true. You get to change. A million times. You get to meet yourself again and again and again.

The truth is in you. Your truth is in you.

Holy f*cking sh*t. Your capacity is everything. This is the point. You are the whole point.

The world was never meant to be shaped by one kind of child.
 And yet, so many children grow up believing they have to quiet down, shrink themselves, or behave a certain way to be seen as “good.”

But the truth is: We need the gentle observers who notice what others miss. The fiery leaders who speak up and shake things loose. The dreamers, the question-askers, the boundary-pushers, the deep feelers. 
Every single one brings something this world desperately needs.

So let’s stop measuring goodness by how easy a child is to manage — and start honouring who they truly are.

Because a child’s worth should never be defined by how neatly they fit into a box. ❤️

A landmark review finds no scientific evidence that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance.

A major umbrella review led by researchers at University College London has found no convincing evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin levels or reduced serotonin activity. Published in Molecular Psychiatry, the study analyzed decades of research across several major fields and concluded that the long-standing “chemical imbalance” theory lacks scientific support. This challenges the core rationale behind the widespread use of antidepressants like SSRIs, which are believed to work by correcting low serotonin. The review suggests that the popularity of this theory may have contributed to the massive increase in antidepressant prescriptions despite the absence of biological proof.

The findings also raise concerns about how this serotonin theory may shape public perception and treatment decisions.

With up to 90% of people believing depression stems from a chemical imbalance, researchers warn that this misconception can discourage recovery optimism and reliance on non-drug treatments.

Moreover, some evidence points to antidepressants possibly lowering serotonin levels over time, highlighting a need for transparency and new approaches to mental health care.

The authors advocate for a shift in focus toward addressing life stressors, trauma, and social factors through therapy and lifestyle interventions rather than pharmacological solutions alone.
