We need to say this out loud: the rise in femicide is not random—it’s a pattern. A warning. A crisis.

Women are being harmed, targeted, and killed simply for existing in a world that still struggles to see them as fully safe, fully human, fully protected.

This isn’t just about statistics. It’s about daughters who don’t make it home. Friends whose laughter goes silent. Families left holding grief that doesn’t have language.

And beneath it all? Power, control, entitlement, and systems that too often look the other way until it’s too late.

Awareness is not enough. We need accountability. We need protection. We need to believe women the first time—not the last.

Check on your people. Trust your instincts. Speak up when something feels off. And don’t let this become background noise.

Because every life lost was a whole world.

April is Stress Awareness Month — and let’s be real, stress doesn’t always show up loud and obvious. Sometimes it’s the tight shoulders, the short patience, the “I’m fine” that really isn’t.

Pause. Check in with yourself. What is your body trying to say?

You don’t have to carry everything at once. Small moments of care count — a deep breath, a walk, a boundary, a conversation.

Take what you need. Release what you don’t. You deserve ease, too. 🌿

Proud to be part of this panel discussion hosted by Minnesota Women's Press with mental health providers on how we supported Minnesotans during Operation Metro Surge and critical next steps.

TALK & DO: Recovering From the Trauma of ICE Operations – What Do We Do Next?

With thousands of masked and armed federal forces now mostly out of Minnesota, the work of rebuilding financially begins — as does the healing. We talked with four mental health professionals who have played roles in addressing trauma before, during, and after the federal incursion, as part of our

There’s an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Today reminded me why those words carry so much truth. It is always good to be home among fellow mental health professionals and service providers—people who understand the weight and the beauty of this work. Serving as a panelist at the Winter Mental Wellness Conference 2026, hosted by my professional mentors Dr. Oni and Dr. Ola, was both an honor and a joy.

Spaces like this matter. They remind us that none of us are doing this work alone. We learn from each other, pour into one another, and continue sharpening the tools that help us serve our communities with care and compassion.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to live and work in my purpose every single day. This work fills my cup in ways words can barely hold.

Happy International Women’s Day💜💚🤍

You are not just “doing therapy.” You are
changing nervous systems. You are interrupting generational patterns. You are teaching people that peace isn’t passive — it’s practiced. That’s not a job. That’s impact.

You walk into rooms and energy adjusts. Not loud. Not desperate. Just grounded. Solid. The kind of presence that makes people exhale without realizing they were holding their breath.

And let’s talk range.

You can hold someone’s grief at 2pm, plan a trip at 4pm, send a loving voice note at 6pm, and still show up looking put together like you weren’t carrying half the emotional weight of the world earlier. That’s elite capacity.

You don’t just talk boundaries — you’re learning to live them. You don’t just preach gratitude — you embody it. You don’t just say “choose you” — you are actively choosing you.

And the vibe?
Soft but not weak.
Kind but not naive.
Successful but still grounded.
Elegant with a little “don’t try me.”

You are building legacy-level work. Healing work. The kind that outlives trends and algorithms.

And let’s be very clear — you’re not lucky.
You’re disciplined.
You’re intentional.
You’re emotionally intelligent.
You’re evolving.

You are the plot twist.
You are the answered prayer.
You are the glow-up and the glow-within.

Stand up in your own life like you own it — because you do.

Now take a breath and receive that. 🙌🏾

The more you know...

A health scare forced me to stop. I had no choice but to take time off — from work, from pressure, from being “on.” For the first time in what felt like forever, my only job was to rest. To heal. To be still.

Hello March 💜
Happy Women’s HERstory month💚
2026 Theme: Leading the Change: Women Shaping a sustainable Future 🤍

Today is the first day of ! 💜

Women face unique mental health challenges throughout life. Often, they’re expected to balance careers, tend to family responsibilities, and act as caregivers, all while navigating the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, the postpartum period, dealing with depression, or managing mental health during menopause.

That’s why MHA created the Women’s Mental Health Resource Center.

We put together these resources to remind you that you are not alone. Discover articles, blogs, webinars, and personal stories that provide practical insights and real-life experiences on managing mental wellness through every stage of life.

An attitude of gratitude does loads for our mental health.

And no — not the toxic, “just be positive” kind.
I’m talking about grounded, intentional gratitude. The kind that coexists with reality.

Gratitude doesn’t deny pain.
It doesn’t cancel grief.
It doesn’t excuse bad behavior.

It simply widens the lens.

When we practice gratitude, we interrupt the brain’s obsession with threat. We remind our nervous system that not everything is on fire. We create space for steadiness. And steadiness? That’s power.

You can be grateful and still have boundaries.
Grateful and still say no.
Grateful and still walk away.

That’s not weakness. That’s emotional maturity.

Start small:
✨ One thing that went right today.
✨ One person who showed up.
✨ One strength you used to survive the moment.

Your mind scans for danger automatically. Gratitude trains it to also notice goodness.

And over time, that changes how you experience your life.

Not because life gets easier.
But because you get steadier.

First day back in the office at Peace Be Still, LLC. this new year.
So much has shifted. So much has shattered.
And still… the work calls my name.

To hold space.
To help us breathe again.
To nourish weary souls.
To practice radical acceptance in a world that keeps rewriting the rules.

Minnesota, my heart is heavy with you —
but healing doesn’t stop.
We keep showing up. 💔
