Today was trulyย a full-circle moment.ย โญ•

I recall the day I called my supervisor to resign from my 11-year management position at the Toronto Community House. I was SCARED, because if you know the world of having immigrant parents, you donโ€™t EVER leave a good-paying government job. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

But I was also going to trust that my reason for wanting to seek a career in mental health was bigger than what I felt in thatย moment, and I was right. โ˜บ๏ธ

Today, I walked back into wonderful memories of the work I did while I was there, and at the same time, I felt the appreciation and gratitude for where life has led me.

Let this be a reminder to anyoneย unsure about betting on themselves: โ€œThe comfort never comes in the leap, but in the landing.โ€ ๐Ÿฉท

I shared this thought in a comment once, and to my surprise, it resonated with so many people. Maybe because deep down, we all know how rare it is to be surrounded by those who truly celebrate us.

Tag someone who claps for you, to let them know how grateful you are for them. ๐Ÿ’›

Sleeping mad at your partner is something almost every couple faces at some point.

Couples struggle with this because one person wants to resolve things immediately for their own peace while the other prefers to wait to protect their calm. Both approaches fail when comfort is the focus instead of resolution. The real solution is not about timing it is about mindset. You need the right thinking, the right attitude, and the same goal to truly resolve the issue and not just feel better temporarily.

That means noticing your own patterns, understanding how your reactions contribute to the cycle, and being intentional about how you communicate. It is okay to need a pause to process your feelings and it is okay to need to talk immediately as long as both of you are committed to addressing the actual problem and not just seeking comfort.
Arguments are normal but repeating fights can be draining. If you are struggling to work through conflicts, it is okay to ask for help and get some guidance.

Sometimes your brain just wants to do its own thing. You sit down to focus, and suddenly itโ€™s remixing your thoughts like itโ€™s dropping a new track. Thatโ€™s your brain chasing stimulation, trying to keep you from boredom or stress. So instead of fighting it, notice it. Bring it back. Your brain means well, itโ€™s just got bad timing sometimes.

If youโ€™re finding it hard to manage these mental detours, remember, youโ€™re not alone. Help is always here. Letโ€™s talk.

Sometimes what feels like โ€œfalling behindโ€ is really just life moving at your pace. Thereโ€™s no timeline for becoming who youโ€™re meant to be.

If youโ€™re an overachiever learning to slow down and trust your journey, this reminderโ€™s for you.

When life starts to change, the people, the plans, even the version of you that once fit so well, it can feel like youโ€™re standing between who you were and who youโ€™re becoming.

If youโ€™re learning to let go, to make peace with whatโ€™s changed, this oneโ€™s for you.

Working with athletes, from rookies to pros, Iโ€™ve learned that pressure doesnโ€™t always come from the game itself. It comes from what happens off the court too.

Behind every highlight, thereโ€™s someone learning how to rest, rebuild, and keep showing up.

Losing something or someone is hard and everyone handles it differently. Some days it hits harder, some days it barely shows up. That is okay. There is no right way or right amount of time to process your grief. The best thing you can do is give yourself permission to feel it and move through it in your own way.

Pay attention to your feelings and take care of yourself. If grief starts to feel too heavy or you need someone to talk to, support is always available. You do not have to go through it alone.

This month felt like a gentle nudge to stay open, to embrace whatโ€™s unfamiliar and trust that every experience adds something new to who we are.

Hereโ€™s a glimpse of what October looked like for me. ๐Ÿ‚

Hope your October gave you moments that made you curious, grateful, and a little more alive. โœจ

Yโ€™all can feel it in the city, the Jays are on the edge of history and the energy is insane. Fans are hyped because we know what it takes to come back from tough spots and make a win happen. Every game, every inning, every play has us holding our breath and believing.

This is more than baseball, itโ€™s a whole city locked in, ready to celebrate a comeback for the ages.
