A little speech from my heart ♥️

As I left the office yesterday to start Thanksgiving, I got emotional (not unusual for me 😉).

I love what I do, and I never take for granted the privilege of being invited into someone’s most vulnerable world. 🍂

Thank you for sharing your stories, your honesty, your growth, and your trust with me.

It’s meaningful every single time. 🍁

Wishing you a fulfilling, cozy, connected holiday. 🤍

Not ALL feeling is the same.

Some of it is reactive — intense, immediate, often directed outward. It looks like anger, sensitivity, or blame. It’s emotional, but not embodied.

Some of it is intellectual — processed in our heads, logical, safe, but disconnected. We analyze instead of relate.

And then there’s the deeper kind: the kind that asks us to feel with awareness.
To notice what’s under the reaction, behind the thought. To accept what’s here — fear, sadness, tenderness — without judgment.

That’s the space where we meet ourselves. Where we start to align — mind, body, and heart.

Feeling isn’t weakness or chaos. It’s connection and possibility.

This is exactly how I feel when I decide to actually feel my feelings instead of just think about them.

My brain loves to analyze — it’s how I make sense of life, and it’s part of what makes me good at what I do. But sometimes, understanding isn’t enough.

The real work is in combining both:
The insight and the emotion.
The intellect and the body.
The logic and the heartbeat.

Because you can’t always think your way into acceptance or connection — sometimes you have to feel your way there first.

I’ve been exploring this more deeply with .oneness , learning to quiet the mind, drop into essence, and trust what’s underneath.

Still a work in progress.
But I’m choosing to step back inside — one feeling at a time. 🫶🐾

Learning something new as an adult is humbling.
Six classes and I still haven’t won a single game if Mahjong, and it’s been… oddly revealing.
I’ve caught myself wanting to quit to protect my ego - because I still have to fight equating competence with worth.
But I’m focusing on valuing the process more than the result. To laugh at myself and let play be enough.
Still haven’t won but I now have an awesome community of new friends (and an old one ;) ) as well as a minor addiction to Mahj accesories.

✨ Full house! Grateful to have been a speaker at this past week 💛
Together with my friend and colleague Cristina Leal of ,
we met with parents of middle and high schoolers to talk about one of my favorite topics:
how caring for yourself is one of the most powerful ways to care for your kids. 🌱

It was an energizing, heartfelt conversation —
full of insight, laughter, and those “I really needed to hear that” moments.

Feeling so grateful for the incredible turnout,
and for the chance to share this message with such an engaged community. 💬

💛 If your school or organization is interested in hosting a talk on parenting, relationships, or emotional wellness — I’d love to connect.

Being “fine” is not the goal. Feeling alive is.

I just ended a month of pure 💡wisdom and inspiration - from , , , —and I don’t have a perfect quote to post.

But here’s some of what landed hard:
• Our relationship to self is the foundation. It shapes how we speak to others, how we let them treat us, and how we speak to ourselves.
• Being endlessly accommodating? Not a winning strategy.
• Being numb isn’t neutral. It’s a red flag—and your body notices, even if your brain says “I’m fine.”
• Mental health is health.
• Good relationships are health.
• Pleasure, fulfillment, and connection? Not luxuries. Essentials.

I’m deeply thankful for the people who share their time and insight so openly—and to the friends and colleagues who are also investing in themselves, their knowledge and thoughtfulness.

This work isn’t soft.
It’s vital.
And it’s not about being perfect.
It’s about the story our decisions tell.

You’re the one who keeps it together.
The calm voice. The problem solver. The “we’re fine” guy.

And no one asks how you’re doing—because you’re always okay.

Until you’re not.

Being the stable one doesn’t mean you don’t struggle.
It just means you’re used to swallowing it down before anyone notices.

But here’s the thing: you can’t out-repress your way into connection.
You don’t have to fall apart to deserve support.
You just have to stop pretending that being “fine” is enough.

DM me “STABLE” if you’ve been holding it together too long.

You’re not a wreck. You’re just… off.

Functioning. Providing. Numb.

A lot of the men I work with don’t show up because something is “wrong”—

They show up because nothing feels right anymore.
They’ve shut down to avoid the tension. The conflict. The vulnerability.

And now they’re just going through the motions, hoping no one notices.
You don’t have to lose everything before you reach out.

Sometimes, the moment you name the disconnect is the moment you start finding your way back.

If you read the carousel and it hit somewhere deep—DM me “clarity.”
I’ll walk you through what therapy could actually look like (no pressure, no forms, no fake Zen music).

Not all therapy is created equal.

Finding the right therapist can feel like dating—trial and error, wondering if the connection will click, and sometimes feeling like you’re just talking in circles. But when it works? Things shift. Fast.

Therapy isn’t just about venting—it’s about getting to the root of things, making real progress, and actually seeing change. If you’ve felt stuck, unheard, or like past therapy hasn’t been as effective as you’d hoped… that doesn’t mean therapy doesn’t work. It just means you haven’t found the right fit yet.

If you’re ready for therapy that moves the needle, let’s talk.
