We normalize asking our spouse, “Did you switch the laundry?”

Let’s also normalize saying things that actually nourish the relationship.

Try sentences like:
“I see how hard you’re trying.”
“I’m really glad it’s you I get to do life with.”
“Thank you for handling the stuff no one notices.”
“You didn’t fail. We’re just in a hard season.”
“What do you need more of from me right now?”
“You’re still my person, even when we’re not okay.”

Pick one line and say it out loud today.
Your marriage doesn’t need perfection. It needs intention.

Love y'all.

This is my 2nd year to use the Full Focus Planner from // There’s something different about this planner system. Or maybe it’s just a mindset shift on my end… Probably a combination of both. My productivity & concentration have been exponentially better due to this system. If you are searching - give this a shot for 3 months. It’s a game changer for people who want to be high impact.

When we let ourselves be seen—truly and honestly—we create space for connection and healing. Who’s someone you feel safe being vulnerable with?

Tag them and let them know. :)

Happy World Kindness Day! 🌎💛

Today, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t have to be grand or perfect—it just has to be real. Sometimes it’s as simple as a smile, a genuine “how are you?”, or choosing compassion over judgment.

In a world that can sometimes feel heavy, a little kindness can go a long way. Let’s be that light for each other today. Shine your kindness in small, intentional ways and watch it ripple outward.

Be careful how you speak to yourself because you are listening." - Lisa Hayes

What's your brain saying, friend?

It’s not the noise around us that distracts us most—it’s that constant chatter in our own minds, isn’t it? Daniel Goleman’s words remind us that the real challenge is learning to manage what’s happening inside. Our thoughts can be like an endless to-do list, pulling us in every direction, making it hard to feel calm or really be present.

Imagine if we could turn down that inner volume a little, letting ourselves just be in the moment. By practicing this, we open up a little space to breathe, find clarity, and connect more deeply with ourselves and others.

We’re all in this together—learning to quiet our minds so we can be here now.

"Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you." – Gabor Maté

So often, we carry pain from experiences, but it’s important to remember that healing starts within. It’s not about ignoring what happened, but nurturing how we respond to it. There’s strength in recognizing our reactions and reclaiming control over our inner world.

If you’re navigating heavy feelings, know that it’s okay to seek support, to lean in, and to give yourself the kindness you deserve. Healing is a journey, one gentle step at a time. 💛

Today, we pause to honor and remember the courage and dedication of our veterans. Their service and sacrifice have protected our freedoms, and their resilience continues to inspire us every day.

Let us remember not only their bravery on the battlefield but also the strength they show as they return home, carrying experiences and stories that have shaped our nation.

To each veteran, we owe our deepest gratitude—for their commitment to country, community, and to the values we hold dear. Thank you for your service. We remember you today and always.

Small acts of consideration build the foundation of a loving relationship. Whether it’s remembering their preferences or respecting their boundaries, every act says, “I see you, and you matter.”

There’s a couple sitting across from me in my office. They’ve been together for a few years, but lately, something feels off. He says, “I just want her to understand me.” She responds, “I just want to feel like I matter.”

I often wish I could record and share sessions so that you could benefit from the profound work of couples therapy. Since I cannot do that, I have created a series of relationship posts - maybe 20-ish. Here are a few things I think you should know...
First, consideration—showing you care about the small things—is one of the highest forms of love.

Next, empathy: being fully present and saying, “I’m here, you’re not alone.”
And then, validation. Letting your partner know, “Your feelings are real, and they matter to me.” These are the moments that rebuild trust.

Lastly, (for today) allow your partner to be their authentic, autonomous self. It's ok for their individuality to shine. Their light doesn't dim yours.
