“…in this time when compassion is seen as weakness.”
Compassion and loving kindness still matter! Always!

If you haven’t seen Somebody Somewhere, do! It’s a remarkable show. We’ve watched it twice!

Jeff Hiller, recognized for his role on “Somebody Somewhere,” was one of the night’s most surprising Emmy winners. His moving speech invoked the earnest warmth that made his show so special, Paula Mejía writes:

We don’t believe the 27 (yes, TWENTY-SEVEN) women who have publicly accused DJT of s*xual misconduct. But if a convicted child s*x trafficker who gains limited immunity by sharing the story needed to cover for those in power, then we scream, “Believe the woman.”

To every one of you protecting power and greed...just save it.

Every person who has ever been s*xually assaulted and then not believed feels every ounce of what is playing out. We have lived this horror in real time, in our own bodies.

We’ve watched those who should have protected us defend the perpetrators. People who hid from the truth to avoid rocking the yacht, who sided with abusers to preserve their own comfort or privilege, stood by and pointed fingers at those who were assaulted and suffering.

What’s happening on a national level is something many of us have lived out personally. Those who should have supported us, who should have been horrified by our experience, instead propped up the abusers to maintain their own fragile sense of safety.

Cowardice disguised as patriotism in the name of an American Christian God, is a repulsive betrayal.

Here is what I know for sure: after decades of fighting my own fight on this front (and alongside hundreds of clients), the truth still matters. It always matters.

Watching the most powerful people in the world echo our personal betrayals may leave us feeling sick, angry, or hollow. As we watch all of this unfold, we’re not overreacting. We’re remembering. And in that remembering, there’s strength. There’s connection.

The powerful will continue to lie. The colluding will continue to spin their stories. But we will not forget, and we will not be silent.

We don’t need permission to believe survivors. We don’t need institutions to validate our experiences. As we speak up and rise up, the shame loses its grip. May we keep moving forward...together, clear-eyed and unshaken.

The truth still matters. Tell yours!

A Gentle Invitation for Mothers Navigating Estrangement

This is not a retreat about fixing your child.
It’s not about chasing reconnection.
And it’s definitely not about pretending everything is fine.

This is for you.

For the woman who has lost herself in the silence of estrangement.
For the mother whose heart is both feeling chaotic and terrified.
For the part of you whispering, “but, what now?”

Beyond Frenzied and Frozen is a live, small group retreat (only 9 spots) for mothers of estranged adult children.
Over 4 days, we’ll slow down, soften, and reconnect—with the parts of you that got buried under heartbreak.
Using the gentle, powerful lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), you’ll begin to reclaim the woman inside the mother.

September 4–7, 2025
All sessions are live, no pre-recorded content
Intimate, only 9 spots

You don’t have to stay stuck between rage and despair.
There is a path forward, and you don’t have to walk it alone.
