Your energy shapes your relationships
❤️
So often we think relationship challenges are about communication, compatibility, or commitment — and while those matter, one of the biggest invisible factors is energy.
❤️
When we’re depleted, stressed, or running on empty, even small interactions can feel heavier. Our capacity for empathy, patience, and connection shrinks. But when we’re rested, nourished, and emotionally resourced, we relate differently — we listen more deeply, respond more gently, and connect more authentically.
❤️
It’s important to notice where your energy leaks from.
🙈Lifestyle choices — lack of rest, poor nutrition, or overcommitment.
🙈Social interactions — spending time in spaces that drain rather than replenish.
🙈Relationships — dynamics that consistently take more than they give.
🙈Beliefs — the stories you tell yourself that keep you small, stuck, or striving.
❤️
Your relational health begins with your energetic health. Taking time to restore your own reserves isn’t selfish — it’s an act of care for the people you love.

✨ Protect your energy. Your relationships will thank you.

✨ The Power of Belonging in Your Relationship ✨
🌟
Feeling like you truly belong in your intimate relationship isn’t a luxury — it’s a fundamental emotional need.
💫
When we feel safe to be seen, heard, and accepted as we are, our nervous system relaxes. Connection deepens. Love becomes a place of rest, not performance.
⭐️
Belonging doesn’t mean losing yourself — it means being able to bring your whole self to the relationship and knowing you’ll still be met with care and respect.
🌟
Healthy relationships create safety for both partners to grow, explore, and express without fear of rejection. That’s what makes love not just passionate, but secure. 💫

Unmet Needs & Connection
🫶
Often in our romantic relationships, it isn’t just the present moment we’re navigating — it’s our history too. Unmet needs from childhood and protection mechanisms we built during past relationships can quietly show up, shaping the way we connect (or disconnect) with our partners.
🫶
Walls, avoidance, defensiveness, or shutting down often began as survival strategies. They once kept us safe. But in love, they can become barriers to the very closeness we long for.
The paradox? Vulnerability and accountability — the things we often fear will push someone away — are actually what create secure attachment.
🫶
When we take ownership of our patterns and allow ourselves to be seen, we offer our partner the chance to meet us with empathy, safety, and love.
True connection isn’t about perfection; it’s about courage. ❤️

Hi, I’m Talitha 🌻

I support people navigating all stages of relationships — from marriage and long-term partnerships, to separation, divorce, new love, or even situationships.

Did you know that what we eat deeply influences how we think and feel? 🥦🧠✨

When we’re stressed, tired, or overwhelmed, our bodies often crave quick-fix comfort foods—but those are usually the very things that leave our minds foggy, moods unsteady, and nervous systems out of balance.

With my undergraduate degree in Nutritional Medicine, I often weave holistic principles into my work as a couples counsellor and psychotherapist. True wellbeing isn’t just about the mind—it’s also about nourishing the body so it can support calm, resilience, and connection.

Our minds and nervous systems thrive when they’re given the right fuel. Balanced nutrition can be a powerful foundation for emotional clarity, stronger relationships, and greater overall wellbeing. 🌱

🙌 Book Review 🙌

I just finished The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer, and wow—what a transformative read.

This book was recommended to me by the most beautifully creative and deeply soulful woman. The untethered soul: the journey beyond yourself gently guides you into exploring the voice inside your head, showing how to find freedom from constant mental chatter and step into a deeper sense of peace and presence. It’s written in such a simple yet profound way that makes big spiritual concepts feel accessible and relatable.
If you’ve been craving more clarity, calm, or a reminder that you are so much more than your thoughts and emotions, this is the book to pick up.

Highly recommend to anyone on a journey of self-growth, healing, or spiritual exploration.

📖✨ Have you read The Untethered Soul yet? I’d love to hear how it impacted you.
