Trying to stop negative emotions actually makes them stronger.
Pushing feelings away teaches the brain they’re dangerous, so they come back louder.
Feeling and processing emotions builds resilience; avoiding them keeps people stuck.

Acceptance is a skill that isn’t being practiced enough in our world today.
While healthy boundaries are absolutely necessary at times, and even life-saving, in this quote meditation teacher Ram Das reminds us to practice a skill many of us seem to have forgotten.
Acceptance is letting people be who they are without trying to change them to ease our own discomfort. It doesn’t mean tolerating harm—it means being more OK with people being who they are without control or rejection.

Neuroscience shows that different emotions are represented by distinct, distributed patterns across the brain — not a single “emotion center.” This means multiple emotions can be active at once, without canceling each other out.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) is an evidence-based parenting program rooted in Attachment Theory - it helps caregivers understand children’s emotional needs, strengthen secure attachment, and respond with sensitivity.

It also supports parents in recognizing their own emotional triggers and how their upbringing influences their parenting, fostering deeper understanding of self, and more reflective and responsive caregiving.

I can offer COS to inviduals, couples, or small groups.

That’s a good one! Many of our clients could use this reminder ❤️‍🩹

Set the intention to recognize your worth and live in alignment with it. 💗

Let’s stop pouring our energy into trying to be “good enough” for others. Instead, rise to meet your own highest standards and embrace the life you truly desire. ✨

2026 is your year to stand in your full power, knowing that you are more than enough exactly as you are. There’s no need to prove anything to anyone.
