I help people create meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

Healing isn’t only about getting rid of what hurts.

It’s about growing your capacity to feel what’s good — without bracing for it to disappear.

If joy feels unfamiliar, fragile, or hard to stay with, there’s nothing wrong with you. Your system learned to protect you. And it can also learn that joy is safe.

If you’re ready to gently expand your capacity for joy, BE WITH JOY is available at the link in my bio 🤍

Be With exists for those of us who never got what we needed around emotions and are choosing to learn now.

Follow along and join me as we practice being with.

Link in bio for Be With Joy, the first in the series ✨

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought it might be helpful to remember that we can support and love ourselves, regardless of our relationship status.

You are worthy of love, starting from the inside out.

If you need a reminder of how loved you are, you can download my “You Are a Delight” guided meditation and journal prompt for FREE for a limited time with code “DELIGHT11.” Get it at BagatoCounseling.com/Delight 🤍

If you slowed down long enough to listen to what you’re feeling today, what might you need right now?

02/05/2026

I felt like I wanted to be open and honest about what’s been going on with me during the past couple weeks.

I carried embarrassment for shutting down, but authenticity means honoring what my system needs instead of pretending I’m unaffected.

Sending so much care for you and your system and all the parts of you that may be getting activated 🤍

So many of us move through life focused on holding it together, staying productive, or getting to the next thing—without realizing how rarely we let ourselves receive.

The truth though is that life is too short, and you are too important, to go without knowing that you are a delight.

That’s why I created You Are A Delight—a gentle pause with an audio meditation and journal prompts to help your body slow down, soften, and practice receiving care simply because you’re here.

It’s available now, and for a limited time you can access it for free with the code DELIGHT11. Check it out at BagatoCounseling.com/Delight or find the link in my bio.

I hope you enjoy this 🤍

Wherever you find yourself, whatever season you’re in, I’m learning they each hold their own unique wisdom and gift.

What’s this season you’re in revealing to you?

01/14/2026

I’ve been wanting to create a space that feels slower, softer, and more grounded than social media.

A Soft Place to Land is my newsletter where I share gentle reflections on emotions, relationships, and life as messy, beautiful humans—through my own process and lived revelations. My hope is that these notes help build compassion for yourself, invite connection, and remind you that you’re not alone in what you’re navigating.

If that sounds like something you’d want to receive, I’d love to have you there. You can join at bagatocounseling.com 🤍

Wanting someone else to understand or comfort us can feel so vulnerable—especially when that care isn’t available in the way we hoped. And when there’s history there, it can touch something much older and deeper.

This is a gentle reminder that there is another way to meet what’s hurting—one that starts by turning toward yourself with curiosity and compassion.

If this resonated, I’d love to hear what stood out for you, or what you’re noticing in your own experience. You’re welcome to share in the comments 🤍

1st weekend down of 4. Cannot wait to start supporting couples in this way. Intimacy from the inside out feels so aligned and a beautiful contribution to my work.

01/07/2026

Notice who or what inspires you—and see if you can hold it with curiosity instead of comparison.

I’d love to hear what (or who) has been inspiring you lately, so tell me in the comments below!

I know I’ve been talking a lot about joy lately. It’s because I’m deeply passionate about everyone having the opportunity to experience it freely.

If any of this resonated with you, it may be a sign that you need additional support to allow yourself to experience joy safely. Guided meditations are one way to gently orient your nervous system toward safety.

That’s exactly why I created Be With Joy.
Through a guided meditation and journal prompts, this offering is intentionally curated to help you experience joy in a way that feels safe, supportive, and sustainable—and to begin gently rewiring the protective patterns you may have developed after joy felt taken away or led to disappointment.

✨ If you’re ready to explore joy at your own pace, link in bio to learn more and purchase.
