Valentine’s Day is tomorrow.
Let this be your reminder.

You do not need a plus one to celebrate love.
You are the love.

Love yourself enough to
❤️ take care of your body
❤️protect your peace
❤️ make the hard decision you have been avoiding
❤️stop settling
❤️ say yes to what stretches you
❤️say no to what drains you

Go celebrate you.
Make a reservation.
Buy the flowers.
Order dessert.
Start the plan.

Love is not limited to romance.
Love is how you treat yourself.

Go do something beautiful for you. 🎉

Five years. Hundreds of stories. Countless moments of courage. 🩵

Pure Mind was birthed from a vision Jesus placed on my heart. ✨

Overtime, I’ve witnessed lives change in quiet but powerful ways.

People finding their voice, facing fears, choosing courage, setting boundaries, and learning how to live present.

This work has grown beyond the therapy room, creating opportunities to serve and speak with companies, organizations and churches on mental wellness.

To every client, every referral, and every person who believed in the vision, thank you. ♾️

Here is one reason many people give up on goals too soon.

They believe they have to start over when life changes.

Instead of quitting, ask, “How can I adjust this so it still fits?” 🔄

Keep the goal. Just change how you get there.

More tips are airing tonight on WAFB Channel 9 at 5 PM and 6 PM CST. 🎥 🩵

Thank you, Georgia Peck!

Fi****ms are used in half of all su***de deaths.
Every day, 64 Americans die by firearm su***de. That’s one every 22 minutes. 💔

I am grateful for the invitation from LSU Health Sciences Center to attend Guns & Mental Health, hosted by The Armory Project, Walk the Talk America, Louisiana Range Gun Club, and The Rustic Renegade. 💛

I had the opportunity to shoot different types of fi****ms and learn appropriate gun safety, which gave me a deeper understanding of both gun culture and the importance of responsible ownership.

The shooting range is actually therapeutic for many, involving a state of calm, focus, and the intentional use of deep breathing.

🙇🏽‍♀️If you or someone you love is at risk, consider:
• Voluntary storage at a gun retailer
• Transferring to a trusted person
• Using lockboxes, safes, or biometric gun storage
• Talk therapy

🚨If you or someone you know is in immediate crisis, call or text the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Another year of grace. 🥳🧁💕💕

The older I get, the more I enjoy stillness...quiet mornings, meaningful conversations, peace over pressure, and grace over grind. 😮‍💨

This new chapter feels like soft winds, sun on my skin, and God’s gentle reminder that I’m right where I need to be.

I’m embracing simplicity, alignment, and everything God has for me in this season. 🤓

Happiest of birthdays to me! 🍭🍭🤸🏽‍♂️

This week I had the pleasure of being interviewed by a graduate psychology student at Southern University. 🎓💛🩵

Grateful to Dr. Thorton for the invitation and for creating space for meaningful connections between professionals and students.

I enjoyed sharing my journey as a therapist, entrepreneur, and my experiences with teletherapy.

The student did phenomenal! I know she’s going to make an incredible impact on the community. 🫶🏽
