Have you been to the dermatologist this year?
Mine welcomed me with, “You’re here for Botox, right?” What a rich moment! It turned into a deeper reflection on ego, self-image, and how easily we start seeing ourselves through other people’s eyes.
Because yes, research shows Botox can ease depression ...but maybe depression also begins when we drift too far from our own mission, too scared to embody it.

🎧 In this week’s episode of FFreud. Shrink Me?, I explore how autonomy begins where approval ends and what it really means to stop asking for mirrors. Because, maybe.... Maybe, depression is self-disconnection.

What if being you was no longer an apology?

We often think belonging at work means fitting into a corporate mold. We speak the lingo. We match the culture. We mold ourselves to what we think others need. But what if that’s exactly why engagement plateaus and innovation stalls?

What if being you was no longer an apology but a reclamation? The biggest rebellion isn’t becoming someone else. It’s existing comfortable in your own skin.

♤Early on, we learn silence keeps us safe. At work, when you flip that switch, fresh ideas flood the room. You stop blending in and start standing out.

⚡️Groups that belong don’t just follow directions. They challenge, they innovate, they push boundaries—without fear of being labeled “too much.”

🛟 Belonging isn’t about surviving the next meeting. It’s about waking up excited to dive in. It’s feeling aligned with work that matters to you.

➿ Ready to unlock that power? Pick one piece of yourself you’ve been hiding. Let it shine in your next check-in or brainstorm. Feel heads nod. Feel energy pulse.

Belonging isn’t about being included. It’s about being returned to yourself.

Self-loyalty is the engine.
Connection is the outcome

For years I studied the things that make us crack, from birth to trauma to betrayal.

And you know what that really means? It means I am an expert on being and belonging.

That’s my lane. That’s what I write, teach, and talk about.

If your company wants sharper teams, clearer communication, and people who actually feel steady in their own skin: bring me in.

Unconditional love? We grow up thinking that’s the highest form of connection : “Love me no matter what.”So many relationships feel stuck... Too afraid to leave, too exhausted to keep pretending. How often are you loyal, but not alive. Committed, but not seen. How often do you stay in a relationship that has already crumbled?

That’s not love.
That’s emotional limbo.

I’ve spent years studying the moments when we crack. Those quiet breaks often shape how we show up at work and in life.
One of them is shame. It is one of our earliest experience of individuality, before we actually have a sense of self. So early, it happens before we even learn to speak. Then, it is so embedded in us, it can influence our decisions, reactions, and confidence long before we notice it.
The other crack? Betrayal, when the ground we trusted shifts under us.
Different triggers, still a fault line. Both shape performance, leadership, and how steady we feel inside ourselves before the world.

Two sisters.
Two countries.
One mission: to make you feel so damn good that we can drown the world in kindness.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨?

We love to call ourselves independent in work, in love, in life.
But most of what we call independence is really reaction.
We’re proving, rebelling, performing for a system we still orbit.
Autonomy is different.
It’s not about pulling away.
It’s the calm that comes when you no longer need a wink, a nod, or permission to be yourself.

In this episode of F. Freud. Shrink Me? I share the story of a seven-year-old who thought he was free, and what he taught me about belonging, confidence, and true leadership.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻
✨ Clarity: Why independence is a phase, and autonomy is a state — the highest level of maturity.
✨ Perspective: How rebellion and obedience are two sides of the same dependency coin.
✨ Practical Insight: What leaders and families share when they foster real autonomy.
✨ Emotional Skill: How to stop running for validation and start listening inward.
✨ Creative Edge: Why innovation thrives only when people feel free within connection.
