Some goals feel inspiring.

Some turn into another way we push, shame, or police ourselves without even realizing it.

In this episode, Kristin and I talk about how growth can start to feel heavy instead of supportive… and how women are constantly navigating expectations that are confusing, contradictory, and impossible to win.

We come at it from two very different experiences, but we’re naming the same thing:
you’re not failing— the system is exhausting.

You don’t need a new year to prove your worth.
And growth doesn’t have to hurt to count.

🎧 Full conversation on the podcast.

New year. Same pressure. New packaging.

Resolutions can be motivating as hell. They can also quietly turn into another way we bully ourselves into “fixing” things that were never broken in the first place. 🫠

In the latest episode of the podcast, we talk about that tension. The part where New Year energy feels hopeful… and the part where it starts sounding a lot like “do better, be smaller, try harder, don’t mess this up.”

We also kicked off a bigger conversation around women and beauty standards. Kristin and I come at this from two very different lived experiences, but we land in the same place: the standard is impossible, the rules constantly change, and somehow women are always told they’re doing it wrong. Too much. Not enough. Try harder. Care less. 🙃

This episode isn’t about telling you what your goals should be. It’s about noticing when growth slips into self-punishment and when “motivation” starts feeling abusive instead of supportive.

You don’t need a new year to be worthy.
And you don’t need to hate yourself into becoming someone else.

🎧 New episode is live.
Come sit with us.

✨ Women’s Wellness & Beauty Night ✨

We’re so excited to be teaming up with Blume House of Aesthetics & Wellness for an evening that goes deeper than surface-level “self-care.”

This night is about real conversations around confidence, beauty culture, mental health, hormones, nutrition, and what it actually means to feel good in your body — not just look good.

We’ll talk openly about the messages women are constantly given (damned if you age, damned if you don’t), explore options like PRP and HRT, and hold space for thoughtful, honest discussion — no pressure, no perfection required.

🗓 January 16th
⏰ 5 PM
📍 1608 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, PA

Expect education, mini mental health screens, meaningful conversation, and discounted Botox — because both things can coexist.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Leave feeling more informed, grounded, and empowered. 💛

Posting in solidarity with two therapists that were drug for their choice to participate in this trend. You know what I’m going to normaize right now? Therapists being human. I saw that two bomb, passionate therapists posted an AI generated image to have fun for the holidays, and they were TORN apart. Why? Because people felt as therapists they should “know better”. Why? Because of our job titles? These ladies put it was an AI generated image and that they were having fun with this trend. We need to STOP doing this to our profession! We are already held to almost impossible social standards (no I’m not talking ethics-that should ALWAYS be at the core) of behavior and how we should “be better”. Better than what?

Better than being human? Better than having fun? Better than participating in the same cultural moments literally everyone else is allowed to enjoy?

Somehow, the second you put “therapist” in your bio, you’re expected to become a perfectly regulated, always-on, never-playful, morally superior being who exists only to model enlightenment. No joy that could be misinterpreted. No humor that could be critiqued. No room to be messy, creative, or lighthearted.

And honestly? That expectation is exhausting and unfair.

Yes, ethics matter. Yes, boundaries matter. Yes, competence matters. Those things are non-negotiable. But being ethical does not mean being sterile. Being competent does not mean being boring. Being a therapist does not mean forfeiting your humanity at the door.

We are allowed to laugh. We are allowed to follow trends. We are allowed to be curious, playful, creative, and yes, even a little cringe sometimes. None of that takes away from the depth, skill, or integrity we bring into the therapy room.

If anything, this constant policing of therapists by other therapists and by the public is part of why burnout is rampant. We are professionals, not pedestals. We are clinicians, not concepts.

So let therapists be human. Let them have fun. Let them exist outside of their job title.

Because last I checked, being human is kind of the whole point.

I was so excited about this that I literally filmed the intro in my car. No makeup moment. No script. Just a “I can’t wait to talk about this” moment.

Because women are handed the most confusing, impossible messages: If you have wrinkles, you’re told you should do something about it. If you do something about it, you’re shallow, vain, or “trying too hard.”

We’re told to love ourselves exactly as we are — but only if that version still fits what society is comfortable with. And that tension messes with our confidence, our bodies, and our mental health.

This Women’s Wellness & Beauty Event exists to name that out loud. To bring mental health, wellness, and aesthetics into the same conversation instead of pretending they don’t overlap.

We’ll talk honestly about confidence, beauty culture, hormones, PRP, HRT, nutrition, and what it actually means to care for yourself without defending it.

January 16th at 5pm in Lancaster.

If this hits for you, you’re exactly who this night is for. 🤍

An evening for women who are tired of pretending confidence is just a mindset shift ✨

We’re hosting a Women’s Wellness & Beauty Event that brings mental health, wellness, and aesthetics into the same room for real, honest conversation. Not the polished Instagram version. The real one.

We’ll talk about confidence, how beauty culture shapes the way we see ourselves (for better and worse), and what it actually means to care for ourselves from the inside out. That includes mental health, nutrition, hormones, PRP, HRT, and the emotional weight women carry around all of it.

There will be education, discounted treatments, meaningful discussion, and space to just be human with other women who get it.

EDIT: Dr. Robert Sack-Autocorrect is a bu**er!

Sometimes the right medication can change everything — but only when it’s prescribed with intention, collaboration, and respect for the whole person.

At AYA, we’re building a psychiatric team that treats medication as one piece of a much bigger picture. That means longer appointments, thoughtful evaluation, and providers who coordinate with your therapist instead of working in a silo.

Because safe prescribing isn’t optional. It’s ethical, it’s responsible, and it’s exactly the level of care our clients deserve.

In this episode of Shrink Rap, we’re unpacking Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory—the idea that you can just let people be who they are and stop trying to fix or control them. Sounds simple, right? But as therapists who work with folks from traumatic family backgrounds, we have some real thoughts (and concerns).

Buckle up buttercups, episode 3 drops TODAY!

Episode 3 - Let Them? How Over-simplified Pop-Psych Advice Just Doesn't Work

https://open.spotify.com/episode/0JujICGprReW4WdUxnIxdB?si=iRTG1o6BR5iTnEdqTdJ6Ww

Sometimes the internet hands out advice like it’s a magic fix. Just “let them.” Just “detach.” Just “stop caring.” Cute in theory, but in real life we’re all walking around with histories and nervous systems and actual relationships that don’t bend to a three word mantra.

Episode 3 goes into the messy middle where pop-psych platitudes totally fall apart and real healing actually begins. If you’ve ever tried to “just let someone” do something and still felt anxious, guilty, or confused as hell, this one is going to land.

Episode 3 is officially out and it’s a good one. Tune in.

We’ve been noticing how many clients are doing deep therapeutic work but also navigating questions about focus, mood, regulation, sleep, and the parts of mental health that don’t always shift through therapy alone.

And as a team, we’ve been talking about what support looks like when someone needs both the space to unpack their emotional world and the option for medical guidance that helps their system settle enough for the work to land.

It’s become clearer than ever that clients do best when care is connected, collaborative, and grounded in a whole-person approach — not split between providers who never speak and not rushed through quick appointments.

AYA is moving toward a model where therapeutic insight and medication support can live in the same philosophy, the same standard of care, the same intention.

This next chapter is already taking shape — thoughtfully, intentionally, and much sooner than you think!

Today we’re pausing to honor the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — a day that reminds us how many people are navigating the world with strength, humor, resilience, and identities that go far beyond what anyone can see from the outside.

At AYA, we believe every person deserves spaces that meet them exactly as they are. Emotional accessibility, physical accessibility, psychological safety — all of it matters. Because disability isn’t the barrier. The barrier is the systems, environments, and assumptions that weren’t built with everyone in mind.

People with disabilities don’t need to be “fixed.”
They need a world that listens, adapts, and makes room.

And if therapy is going to be truly supportive, it has to acknowledge lived experiences, advocate for access, and honor the dignity and autonomy of every body and every brain.

Real people. Real healing. Real inclusion.
Every day, not just today.

Sometimes the messages that come in after an episode stop me in my tracks.
This one… yeah. This one did it.

It’s wild how a simple conversation about imperfect parents doing the best they can ends up shifting how someone sees their entire story. That’s the whole point of Shrink Rap — to talk about the stuff people actually carry into their real lives, not the polished therapy-speak that never leaves the room.

If something we said helps someone soften old hurt… or see their past with a little more compassion… that’s the kind of impact you don’t forget.

And if you got emotional listening? Same.
But we’re not crying — it’s just… dust. Obviously. 😅
