Tuesdays Truths 🗝️

Sometimes outgrowing a friendship isn’t a loss — it’s growth. 🌱

As we evolve, heal, and step into healthier versions of ourselves, not every relationship is meant to come with us. And that’s okay.

Releasing a friendship doesn’t mean there’s anger, drama, or a “bad guy.”
It often means you’re honoring your boundaries, your peace, and your personal growth.

✨ Outgrowing someone can look like:
• Having less emotional space for relationships that drain you
• Realizing your values no longer align
• Feeling more grounded when there’s distance
• Wanting connections that support who you are now, not who you used to be

Growth isn’t always comfortable… but it is always necessary.

Give yourself permission to choose relationships that feel healthy, reciprocal, and nurturing. Your evolution deserves support — not resistance. 💛

If you’re navigating shifts in friendships and want support processing those changes, my mental health practice is here to help. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

November—also known as Movember—is a powerful reminder that men’s mental health matters.
While the movement often highlights prostate and testicular cancer, it’s just as important to talk about emotional well-being. Men struggle too, and those struggles deserve to be acknowledged, accepted, and treated with compassion.

With the holidays around the corner, stress and triggers can hit harder than expected. You don’t have to carry that weight alone. Feeling angry, frustrated, overwhelmed, or withdrawn is not “just part of being a man.” You are allowed to be vulnerable. You are allowed to ask for help. You deserve support.

If you or a man you love is struggling, reaching out is a strength—not a weakness.
My practice is here to support men through anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the emotional load that often goes unseen.

You don’t have to do it all on your own.

Keep taking extraordinary care of yourself. You’re needed. You matter. Your life matters.
The person to please never mind the others is the one looking back in the mirror. 💖

😴 Let’s talk about sleep!
It’s one of the most underrated parts of your overall wellness — especially your mental health.

In my sessions, I ask all the time:
💭 Do you wake up feeling rested?

When the answer is “no,” it’s no surprise that so many people feel more irritable, anxious, or low in mood. Sleep plays a massive role in how we think, feel, and cope day to day.

The Mayo Clinic offers some great tips on improving sleep hygiene — and it’s always worth checking in with yourself:

✨ Where do you fall on your sleep wellness right now? ✨

🧠 Prioritizing rest is prioritizing your mental health.
If you’re struggling with sleep or mood, know that support is available — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

SUNDAY MOTIVATION ☀️

🌿 Your Body + Mind = Dream Team 🌿

Want better moods, energy, and focus?
Start with your body! 💪🧠

✨ Moving more, eating better, and resting enough don’t just shape your body — they shape your mind.

🍭 Too much added sugar = mood swings, energy crashes, and stress overload.
🍎 Cutting back helps steady your mood + boost your brainpower!

Try this week:
✅ Swap one sugary drink for water
✅ Add a walk to your day
✅ Read labels + skip hidden sugars

Small steps → big shifts. 💚

When your body feels good, your mind glows. ✨

Sharing this for all who can help.

Hi everyone

As relief teams in Jamaica work around the clock after Hurricane Melissa, we are now turning our focus to the next urgent step, which is getting children in the hardest-hit communities back to safe, stable school environments as quickly as possible.

Over the last several months, I’ve been building the Island Futures Fund, inspired by my work in Barbados to support climate-resilient education across the Caribbean. We created it for moments like this. Many schools have been severely damaged or destroyed, and this response will focus specifically on schools and students.

I am working directly with trusted school leaders on the ground to ensure support goes straight to the children and communities who need it most.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and asked how to help. It means so much. If you feel moved to donate or share, we would be deeply grateful.

501(c)(3) status is in process and expected by year-end; donations may be tax-deductible retroactively once approved.

One Love! One Heart! One Future! 🇯🇲💛

Mental wellness is just as important as mental health. 💭
I remind my clients often that self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. Sometimes the best medicine isn’t found in a bottle, but in a little sunshine, a quiet moment, or an unexpected nap. ☀️💤

Your body is always communicating with you — slow down, listen, and give it what it needs. 💚

Psychologists are finally conducting research on ghosting, and they're finding that while the mental-health consequences are truly serious, there are ways to prepare for the pain. | 10 comments on LinkedIn

“Never give up hope. If you’re in pain, advocate for yourself. There are answers.”

Lisa had always lived in fear of breast cancer. After watching her grandmother and mother go through it, she chose to have a preventive double mastectomy. But the outcome wasn’t what she expected.

Pain from tissue expanders left her barely able to move. She was a cyclist, and now she couldn’t even reach into a cabinet.

Everything changed after a second opinion led her to a surgeon who performed a nerve reconstruction procedure. Overnight, the stabbing pain in her rib cage and shoulder blade was gone. No pain. She could feel her chest again.

Today, Lisa has become a USA Cycling Masters National Champion and represented Team USA at the Masters World Championships in Scotland and Denmark.

Her message? Never settle for living in pain. Keep asking questions. Keep advocating for yourself.
