There are many beliefs about mental health in the Black community shaped by survival, cultural values, and historical harm. Struggling doesn’t cancel strength! Seeking support is an act of care, not weakness.
Therapy provides a safe space to process stress, trauma, and experiences that don’t resolve on their own. It can work alongside faith, family, and community support. Prioritizing your mental health is not just self-care — it’s self-preservation. 💛

Thank you to Rachel Schrager for inviting me to speak at the South Florida chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers. It was a pleasure discussing the importance and necessity of self-care, and how it directly impacts job performance, communication, mental health, focus, productivity, and overall well-being.

So true.

Most people say they want change, but very few want the cost that comes with it.
Change is not scary by itself. Loss is.
Loss of comfort, loss of identity, loss of familiar habits, even loss of familiar suffering.

We cling to routines that drain us because they are known.
We stay in cycles we complain about because they feel predictable.
We call it patience, timing, or self care, but most of the time it is just comfort wearing a smarter mask.

Real change always takes something away before it gives anything back.
