The look of tired (mixed with satisfaction), after wrapping up my LAST day of a 6 month Internal Family Systems (IFS) training! I’ve learned SO much, and wait to incorporate these tools into my work as an official IFS Level 1 trainer. Though I’ve loved it here, there will be no more programs for me for a while!😆

Life seems to be moving fast these days! Seems like I was JUST celebrating my acceptance into the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women in Business Program. Now today, I paid it forward by assisting in interviewing prospective candidates for the next cohort. Grateful! ☺️💕

True love sets you free.
It doesn’t control. It doesn’t judge. It liberates. 💫

We often understand this in the context of romantic relationships. But what about the love you give yourself?

Do you only allow self-love under certain conditions?

I’ll love myself when I lose weight.

When I’m in a relationship.

When I have kids.

When my bank account hits a certain number.

These aren't standards — they're shackles.
You don’t need the world’s permission to love yourself.
You just need yours. ❤️

You are the one you've been waiting for.
And guess what? You're right on time.

Loving yourself, unconditionally, is a radical act. Start the revolution.

“Talking about my problems in therapy will make them worse.”

TRUTH: False!

Some people were taught that expressing feelings = complaining. So they stay silent, hoping the problem goes away.

But here’s the thing...
If I tell you not to blink… what do you do?
You blink.
The more you resist a feeling, the stronger it pushes back.

Bottled-up emotions don’t vanish — they build into stress, anxiety, or even physical symptoms.

Therapy gives you space to:
✅ Be heard without judgment
✅ Process what you’ve been holding in
✅ Gain fresh insights + real solutions (I love to hear clients say, " I've never thought about it that way."

Talking is not complaining. It’s healing. 💬🧠

If a doctor instructed you to take your physical health more seriously, you’d probably change your habits—eat better, move more, rest, and stay consistent. You’d know it takes effort every day to feel better and stay well.

But when it comes to mental health?
Suddenly it feels optional.
You start feeling good… and then stop doing all the things that helped you get there.
Here’s the truth....it doesn’t work that way.

Your mind needs the same daily care as your body.
So ask:
👉 Where might you be abandoning yourself?
👉 What small daily habits can help you stay grounded and consistent?

Because showing up for yourself isn’t a once-in-a-while thing.
It’s an everyday kind of love. 💛

Ever been asked the question,
"Why are you so dressed up?"

If it has bothered you, consider this.....
Most of society dresses up every day.

Not necessarily with their clothes.
But in masks.

- Pretending to share close bonds in friendship/family circles, when they really can't stand one another..in order to belong.
-Constantly being surrounded by people, yet still lonely.
- Faking perfection
- Claiming "unbothered" while constantly on a quest for external validation.
- Brunching to avoid breakdowns
-Claiming to fully accept themselves, but ONLY the parts that feel “worthy” or "acceptable"

Showing up as your true self is can be scary. 👻
Hence, the reason why it becomes too painful for many

So don’t take it personal.
And when they ask,
**“Why are you so dressed up?”**
They don't realize they are dressed up too.
Just smile and say—
**“Because it’s Monday!”** 💁🏽‍♀️
Happy Monday Everyone! Have a great week! 😉😁

True or False?
The time spent in therapy sessions alone is enough for someone to experience the personal growth they’re hoping for.

Answer: It depends.

Sometimes, yes—a few sessions can be enough, especially when someone is looking to problem-solve a specific issue. In these cases, a therapist can help process the situation, offer insight, and explore options.

But when it comes to deeper work—like healing from trauma or shifting long-standing patterns—the real growth often happens between sessions. That’s where the insights from therapy are put into practice. Progress comes from the consistent effort, reflection, and follow-through outside the therapy room.

Therapy can be a powerful guide—but the transformation is in the work you do with it.

Think you made a mistake or a wrong choice? You’ve got two ways to look at it:

**Option A:** Call it a failure, while seeing your self as a failure too. Beat yourself up. Start doubting your decisions. Over time, that leads to regret, self-doubt, and a whole lot of *“what ifs.”*

**Option B:** See it as a lesson. Grab the insight, learn from it, and carry that wisdom into whatever comes next. Over time? You build confidence, clarity, and a toolkit of combined life experiences.

The choice is yours. Growth or guilt?
