Loving yourself where you are means embracing imperfection, adjusting when life happens, and remembering that progress doesn’t always follow the plan. It’s about compassion, flexibility, and choosing yourself — again and again.

People-pleasing teaches us to shrink, but healing friendships remind us to expand. Discover how connection, laughter, and authentic relationships can help you reclaim your freedom to be unapologetically yourself.

Many of us will put ourselves through real discomfort—sometimes even physical pain—just to avoid making someone else uncomfortable. In this post, I explore why we do it, how it impacts us, and practical steps to shift from silence and avoidance toward healthy self-advocacy.

Friendship isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up. In a world of highlight reels, this post explores why real connections matter and how to nurture them.

“Ever been told to ‘calm down’ and instantly wanted to do the opposite? Yep, me too. Let’s talk about why those phrases backfire—and what to do instead.”

“We mean well when we say things like ‘don’t worry’ or ‘it’s not that bad’—but oof, they usually miss the mark. Here’s how to hold space without shutting someone down.”

“Sometimes the kindest thing we can do isn’t fixing, comparing, or reassuring—it’s just showing up, listening, and holding space (even when it’s uncomfortable).”

Finding the right therapist can feel a lot like dating—you want someone you connect with, someone who understands, and someone you trust. The good news? You don’t have to commit right away. Asking for a consultation is a simple first step to start the conversation and see if it’s a good fit. And thankfully, they’re professionals- you don’t have to worry about being too much on the first meeting :)
