Let’s be honest — most of us try to feel better by managing or outsmarting every thought and emotion.

ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) teaches how to stay open, aware, and aligned — even when life feels heavy.

Here’s the real-world version 👇🏾

🌟 Acceptance — Making space for what’s hard instead of fighting it.
🌟 Defusion — Noticing your thoughts without letting them run the show.
🌟 Present Awareness — Coming back to right now.
🌟 Self-as-Context — You’re not your thoughts; you’re the one noticing them.
🌟 Values — Let what matters most lead the way.
🌟 Committed Action — One small step in that direction — even if fear tags along.

Check back soon for more about how I use ACT working with eating disorders, compulsive relationship behaviors and financial disorders!

If you’ve ever caught yourself scrolling and thought, “Wait… what am I even looking for?” — same.
We are bombarded with content and need to be discerning about what we are allowing into our consciousness. Because we are apparently living in the upside-down world, here are a few apps that I've found that help with information and tech overload

🧘🏾‍♀️ Endel for calm - creates personalized soundscapes—somehow knowing when I need focus, rest, or calm. It’s like a sonic weighted blanket for my brain.
🚫 Opal for boundaries - locks distracting apps so my brain can focus on what matters. I have mine set to lock for one hour after 15 minutes on social media
🧠 Elevate for focus - brain games help me stay sharp without feeling like work
📚 Audible for reflection/distraction - For when my eyes say “no more screens,” but my brain still wants to learn something
🎵 Spotify for emotional regulation - my unofficial life coach and mood equalizer. The genre roulette never misses (imho)

How do you shut down the noise so you can focus?

Our bodies weren't meant for the 24-hour news cycle and it lets us know when things are "off"

It’s not just you. Every ping, post, and “breaking news” alert tells our brains we’re in danger — That’s not anxiety “for no reason” — that’s overwhelm with too many reasons.

Financial intergenerational trauma is the hidden legacy of money struggles passed down through families. It stems from past experiences like poverty, discrimination, or financial instability—shaping how future generations think about, manage, or even fear money.

This can look like:
💸 An inherited scarcity mindset that whispers “there’s never enough.”
🏦 Deep distrust of banks, credit systems, or institutions.
💼 Workaholism masked as survival, where rest feels unsafe and self-worth is tied to productivity.

It’s not just about dollars—it’s about deep-rooted beliefs that shape our financial behaviors and emotional relationship with money today.
Healing starts with awareness. What money stories did you inherit—and which ones are you ready to rewrite?

📚 Browsing the Shelves 📚

❤️‍🔥 My first pick for this series is A Search for Love and Power: Women, S*x, and Addiction by Dr. Charlotte Davis Kasl, Ph.D. This is the book that gave me my first a-ha moment in school. Learning the parallels between our relationship with food and experiences with s*x and intimacy, gave my eating disorder work a new perspective. The book is hard to find these days, but if you across it in Half-Price Books, I highly recommend!

👉🏽 Swipe through to see a few of my favorite quotes and takeaways from this timeless novel!

Men & Eating Disorders: Underdiagnosed, Underrepresented, Undiscussed

In this post, I’m breaking down some common myths about men and eating disorders. These misconceptions contribute to stigma and silence — leaving tens of thousands of men struggling without the support they need every day.

It’s time to challenge the narrative and break the silence.

Self-worth affects everything. Let’s break the cycle.

In this clip, I’m diving into how scarcity mindsets and self-worth impact everything from our relationship with money to deeper struggles like eating disorders and addiction. It’s all connected more than you might think.

If this resonates, head to the link in my bio to listen to my full episode with The Whole Damn Pie — we unpack these topics and share ways to break free from comparison and control.

How it all connects 🧠💔💸

We all want to feel safe. To belong. To know we matter.

In my therapy practice, I see how struggles with food, love, and money often stem from the same deep need—for soothing, for connection. What may look different on the surface is often rooted in the same human desire underneath.

🧵 The Common Thread 〰️
S*x & love addictions, disordered eating, financial chaos — on the surface, they may seem worlds apart. But underneath? There’s often a shared, human longing: the need for safety, connection, and a sense of belonging. 💔💸🍽️💘

In this week’s blog, I explore how these struggles may be different expressions of the same deep-rooted attachment need — and how understanding the why matters just as much as the what.
