Survival mode costs us our life. 🩷

When we live in our heads—future or past—we miss the present.

Grounding exercises help you come back to now, so you can focus on what truly matters: meaningful memories, real connections, and doing the things that actually make you happy.

Am I going to be happy later? 🩷

The surest way to make sure you *are* happy later is to start being happy now.

If you’re always putting happiness off, later just becomes another ‘not yet.’

Work on finding joy in this moment, so when later comes, you can actually show up—and enjoy it.

No offense… but how can you really help others when you’re broken too? 💛

Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about connection, presence, and showing up—even with cracks.

Your mess doesn’t disqualify you from helping—it *is* part of the roadmap.

People don’t really hurt your feelings. 💛
They just press on the hurt places you’ve already been carrying.

If a comment stings, it’s not them—it’s the unhealed story you’ve been telling yourself.
Notice what triggers you. That’s your roadmap to healing.

I never realized the exponential impact traveling had on my mental health until my trip to South Korea last year! It's not just about experiencing a new culture, but about the friends and connections I made along the way!! Any guesses where I'm traveling to this year??! 😉🥳

My favorite part when a couple fights? The LIST!!! Filled with logic and reasons and evidence... that actually just perpetuates the fight. It's not a solution; it's a protective strategy that leaves your partner feeling unheard and even MORE emotive.

Stuck in survival mode? Remember to talk to your body and let it know you are safe, and that you will protect and care for it. This will release tension and shift from survival mode to present mode.

We're often told to keep going. Do more. Stay busy.

But the most meaningful parts of life—connection, joy, peace—don’t live in constant motion.

They live in the quiet. In the ordinary. In the moments we actually notice.

Being present isn’t laziness.

It’s a radical act of saying: This moment matters. I matter—even when I’m not performing.

You don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to justify slowing down.

The life you're chasing might already be here—if you give yourself permission to feel it.

Ever notice how some people hesitate to share what they really feel? Yep, it’s because they’ve been burned before. They took the risk, opened up… and got the classic response you just saw in this video 😬. Naturally, the next time, they’re going to keep their guard up.

But here’s the good news: when we find—or become—a partner who meets our vulnerability with care, curiosity, and acceptance, we can actually retrain our nervous system to trust again. Suddenly, opening up doesn’t feel like a gamble — it feels safe, freeing, and connection-deepening.

Are you showing your partner that it’s safe to take that leap of vulnerability with you?

10/01/2025

Shutting down in your relationship doesn’t mean you don’t care.
It means something inside you doesn’t feel safe enough to stay open.

This is the nervous system doing what it’s designed to do—protect you.
What looks like disconnection is often deep overwhelm.

You're not sabotaging your relationship. You're surviving it.

And the good news?
With the right kind of safety, connection, and attunement…
You can learn to stay present—even when it’s hard.

Fights don’t ruin relationships—disconnection does.

Repair isn’t about pretending the hurt didn’t happen. It’s about slowing down, tuning in, and showing up emotionally for each other.

In Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), repair happens when partners move beyond the surface of the fight and reach for the emotions underneath—like fear, shame, or longing.

When we name the cycle, take responsibility, and speak from the heart, we soften the space between us.

We stop fighting *each other* and start fighting *for* the relationship.

What helps you feel safe enough to repair after conflict?

09/22/2025

Relationships don’t create our deepest wounds — they reveal the ones we already carry.

When attachment fears like abandonment, mistrust, or feeling unworthy get triggered, they can lead us into painful cycles of blaming, shutting down, or chasing. These patterns aren’t about who’s “right” or “wrong” — they’re protective responses from vulnerable parts of ourselves trying to keep us safe.

Healing begins with understanding your own and your partner’s attachment needs. It’s about choosing empathy over judgment, connection over conflict.

If you recognize these patterns in your relationship, know that change is possible. Healing your bond means healing your wounds — together. DM to get started today.
