American culture tells you to fix it, move on, and close the loop. But divorce does not work that way.

You cannot rush grief. You cannot force closure. And pretending you are fine when you are not creates more suffering than the divorce itself.

Dr. Tina Huang, Irooze's Holistic Brain & Trauma Recovery Practitioner, introduces a different approach - one rooted in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi - that offers a new perspective on undergoing challenging transitions.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿:

We are trained to see worth through productivity and performance. When divorce temporarily dismantles your ability to function at your previous level, shame follows.

You wonder what you did wrong. You manage the fear of judgment. You find yourself performing recovery instead of actually healing.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗯𝗶-𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗶 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁:

Wabi-Sabi accepts impermanence, imperfection, and incompleteness as fundamental truths - not flaws.

→ Mujo: Means Impermanence. Nothing is fixed. Nothing stays. Everything is always changing.
→ Mono no aware: The ache that arises because something mattered. Grief and appreciation can exist together.
→ Ma: The in-between. The old life is gone. The new one has not formed yet. This space is worthy of cherishing - it is where insight happens.

𝗞𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗶 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿:

In kintsugi, a broken object is repaired with gold. The break becomes part of its beauty - visible, honored, celebrated.

Life after divorce is not about returning to who you were before. It is about becoming someone new, shaped by love, loss, resilience, and self-discovery.

Your brokenness is not something to hide. It is part of who you are becoming.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀:

→ Permission to feel grief without labeling it as weakness
→ Freedom from the pressure to explain or justify your divorce
→ Acceptance that clarity about your future may take time
→ Space to actually heal instead of performing recovery for others
→ A reminder every life lesson is an opportunity for growth
→ A redefinition of success as a commitment to growth.

This in-between season is an important part of your story. Every tragedy is an opportunity to develop wisdom.

Have mysterious health issues? So did Heidi:

"I decided to work with Dr. Tina because I liked that she integrates Eastern and Western medical wisdom when approaching how to help her clients address their individual medical concerns. I wanted to take care of long-standing issues around my weight, low energy, and periodic severe pain that got in the way of everyday life when it flared up. I also was intrigued by her focus on the brain as the start point for investigation; it made intuitive sense to me that as the master conductor of the body and in harmony with it, the brain would hold the key to many ongoing body issues.

My gut was correct, and I am in my second series of sessions with Dr. Tina, each time addressing and usually resolving even in part an issue that requires attention. Of the many benefits of working with her, I am most grateful for the 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝. I can walk freely and usually forget that I ever had the high-level distress and discomfort that kept me home. What a relief!

She has worked also on several areas that have needed short- and longer-term assistance, and I continue to be astounded at her insight, wisdom, and ability to zero in on what my body "tells" her it needs. I've lost count of how many times 𝐃𝐫. 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 and 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲) 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟. Mind-boggling!

Dealing with ongoing hard health stuff? Not sure what is going on with you? 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨, 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐫. 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐚. She is direct and honest, and she'll tell you upfront if she believes she can help you or not. I feel very guided and fortunate to be working with her."

My new What do I do statement:

12/05/2025

Your partner leaves food on the counter. How you respond reveals everything about your subconscious programming.

Tina L. Huang Huang, Irooze's Holistic Brain & Trauma Recovery Practitioner, explains why we only see one way to respond when upset - but there are actually dozens.

Same scenario, five different responses:
1. "Hey love, popped them in the fridge. Can we double-check next time?"
2. "You ALWAYS do this" (when it's rare)
3. Silent treatment, slamming doors
4. Texting their mom to complain
5. Complete emotional shutdown

Each response stems from different subconscious beliefs formed by your entire history - childhood, ancestors, even past lives according to epigenetics research.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲:

Contempt - John Gottman's #1 divorce predictor. When you look down on your partner, it's over.

Criticism - Attacking who they are, not what they did. "You're irresponsible" vs "The food was left out."

Avoidance - One woman never argued. Was blindsided by divorce. Conflict avoided isn't conflict resolved.

Heart walls - Accumulated trauma creates emotional armor. Can't be vulnerable. Can't let love in. Relationships suffocate.

All-or-nothing thinking - "You ALWAYS..." "You NEVER..." No grace for mistakes. No room for humanity.

Trust issues - Past betrayals program future suspicions. You see danger where none exists.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀:

Feel unlovable? You'll attract someone who confirms it.
Feel never enough? You'll find someone who agrees.
Your subconscious seeks familiar pain, not healthy love.

Tina uses applied kinesiology to identify and release these patterns from your life, inherited imbalances, and past life trauma. Clients report relationships transformed in sessions - without their partner even being present.

Your behaviors aren't you. They're your programming.

Change the programming, change the relationship.

✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 ✨

I told my doctors, over and over, that 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥. It was obvious: I had been exposed to toxic mold, I had relentless and terrifying symptoms that would flare for 24–36 hours at a time, I couldn't fight infections, and my labs showed suppressed white blood cells.

When someone is fighting infection, white blood cell counts 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞. Mine didn’t. For years, my WBCs hovered at the bottom of “normal” and even dropped during outbreaks. That was clear evidence of immune suppression — but doctors dismissed it.

Why? Because 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭.

My labs were drawn on days I was well enough to get to the hospital. On my sickest days, when my immune system was collapsing, I couldn’t even make it in.

They didn’t know — because they ignore the dangers of toxic mold, and because they were too rushed to connect the dots. Mycotoxins from molds like Aspergillus and Penicillium 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. And I wasn’t just dealing with mold — I also tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and had suspected mycobacteria. All of these pathogens can further weaken immunity.

But 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘵𝘴, 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴. Some even suggested I see a psychiatrist. I told them: just because you can’t explain my symptoms doesn’t make me crazy. I even suggested they read Dr. Neil Nathan’s book on toxic mold.

Too many doctors:
➡️ reduce patients to numbers
➡️ dismiss what they can’t prove with narrow tests.
➡️ ignore context — and with it, the truth.
➡️ are unaware of the limits of their tests
➡️ dismiss women’s stories.
➡️ aren't willing to take the time to help patients, especially women with unusual problems

And this isn’t just me. Research shows:

* Women are 66% more likely to be misdiagnosed than men (Washington Injury Lawyers, 2024).
* In one study, 83% of women reported being dismissed by healthcare providers, often told it was “just stress” or “in their head” (Hoffmann & Tarzian, J Law Med Ethics, 2001).
* Providers frequently underestimate women’s pain and attribute it to emotions rather than real illness (Hamberg, Women’s Health, 2008).

💔 This is what happens when medicine doesn’t give women the benefit of the doubt. We’re left stranded, sick, and broke.

👉 Have you ever told a doctor exactly what was happening — only to be dismissed?

Share your story. The more we speak out, the harder it is to ignore.
