I’m a mental health and addiction counselor and supervisor with 10 years of experience.

Go getters often struggle in relationships. It’s not because they don’t care, but because they’ve learned to prioritize performance over presence.

Success doesn’t automatically translate to connection. Clarity and emotional awareness do.

Success isn’t just about what you build.
It’s about who you remain while building it.🧚

If staying busy feels safer than slowing down,
this question might be worth sitting with.

Before you push forward, pause.
Clarity creates focus and focus creates momentum.

Small things can bring so much joy. 🌸
People I see for counseling and supervision now get a new view!

This floral wall in my virtual office is made up of pieces that don’t ‘go together,’ but each one adds something special. Many were tucked away for years, waiting for the right moment.

With a little creativity (and lots of help), they became my lily pads of happiness—a reminder that joy doesn’t have to be perfect or planned. Sometimes, it just grows over time. I plan to keep adding and fill the wall which adds to the fun!

Clarity isn’t about having everything figured out.
It’s about knowing what matters next.
When the noise quiets, focus becomes possible.
And from there, decisions get lighter.

Many driven people feel pressure to decide quickly at the start of the year.
But clarity isn’t rushed — it’s noticed.

Let January be about listening, not proving.

Growth isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes it looks like getting through a hard week, setting a boundary, or simply showing up again.

As the year winds down, take a moment to notice the ways you’ve grown— especially the quiet ones.💚

When we fell back a few weeks ago, it wreaked havoc on my kids’ sleep (and mine). I usually love the time change — slower mornings, early sunsets — but this year it was rough.

That week, I said more than once that it was the tiredest I’ve ever been. Everything felt harder: mornings, moods, motivation. At the time, it was hard to see past it.

But, as quickly as it became a problem, it got better. By the next Monday, everyone had adjusted and we were back in rhythm.

It was such a small but powerful reminder that our circumstances don’t last forever. Even the exhausting seasons shift eventually. Sometimes we just have to hang in long enough to notice when things start feeling lighter again.

Sometimes we focus so much on what’s next we forget to honor how far we already are.
You’ve done meaningful work, faced the storms, and you’re here - ready for what’s next. Give yourself credit for the steps you’ve taken … and gentle curiosity for the ones ahead.🌱

We all have a few skeletons — the parts of our story we’d rather keep hidden. Sometimes we bury them to protect ourselves, or because we’re not ready to face what they bring up.

But hiding what’s human doesn’t make it disappear — it just keeps us carrying the weight alone.

Maybe you’ve shared your story, or maybe you’re still finding the words.

Either way, this is your reminder:

Honesty doesn’t erase the past, but it does make space for healing. 💛

This is the last post in my October “Halloween-inspired” series — not the spooky kind, but the deeply human ones we all live with. ☠️

Thanks for following along this month — here’s to showing up with a little more compassion for every part of ourselves. 🎃
