Reminder to myself firstttt 🥲- relying on no one but myself, is NOT strength. Having to be the strong one, the reliable one does NOT mean you are exempt of needing help.

“I’ll figure it out” was learned from a place of having unreliable support systems while growing up. Knowing there was no safe spaces or people that we could lean on for supports, forced us into spaces of having to figuring it out ourselves. 😮‍💨

Yes, many of us did get really good at it, and the world even applauded us for it. But no amount of our success or discipline exempts us from needing help.

And doing eveyrthing alone, WILL catch up with you. If not yesterday, then likely very very soon.

So here’s our reminder to the start of the week - asking for help is where healing usually begins for us. 💕

And if you’re looking for help, ofcourse, my team at is always here 💜

Why are we crying when we’re angry? It kinda doesn’t make sense but it does. For most of us, tears is just the socially acceptable version of what we ALMOST said 😬

But even though we’re crying, we’re not sad. Just furious with an over exhausted and burnt nervous system.

But it doesn’t have to be like that, even though that’s how we started doing it, it can be changed, and it will take time and patience and a lot of safety to be able to openly express our anger.

And if you need support on how to do that, we gotchuuu

✨Introducing Fertility Chats ✨

I lost track of how many DMs I got from people saying they’re quietly following along and are sooooo appreciative of these fertility chats and want more spaces for discussions. The fertility world is like the wild Wild West. It’s a place that can feel so dark, hopeless, exhausting, lonely and let’s not forget ESSSPENSIVE 😮‍💨

As someone who’s been in it for the past 4 years, i can personally tell you it really does feel like it takes over everything.

And what kind of therapist would I be if I didn’t hold space for the mental toll this takes on someone 🫠

At first this was just a brief chat on my newsletter which then turned into chats on my stories, which then into a highlight buttt the truth is these conversations NEED to be on the feed, so folks can access it now and the future. Also? y’all demanded for it to be on the feed so yeah 😬

Fertility chats will be a space for us to hold for each other, because this was never a path meant to be walked on alone.

Sending you so much love, for those who are on this journey, I’m with you 💕

And if you are looking for mental health related supports, there’s always

One thing Ramadan always does to meeeee, is have me reflect over who I am, and what needs to either change or stay.

And I remember a day this week when preparing a meal for iftar? I was thinking, oh my goodnessss, how faster I’m doing this or how easier things have been? Reflecting back realizing, hey, if I knew what I knew today, and I could do life all over again? How would I do it?

SHARE BELOW, your reflections, I love them so much! I want to hear what comes up for you!

There is a HUGE difference between being raised to know how to ‘endure loss, and hardship’ VS knowing how to mourn them.

In sessions this is where .. my clients have the BIGGEST moments of enlightenment .. where they’re like .. oh? Oh… OHHH… the difference!!!

I love this topic so much, and over the last three hears, I’ve been obsessed with this topic. While I understand this more? I can’t wait to grow and share all of it with you.

I CAN GO ON FOR DAAAAYSSS! Whenever friends of mine and even my community of other social workers / therapists come together .. we always always always ask: ‘what constitutes for a health relationship, regardless of romantic/ platonic/ or familial’ … what do they have in common?

Obviously depending on our life experiences we come to it differently? But here’s what I’ve learned we can all agree on .. constitutes .. THE HEALTHIEST stable, and enriching friendship. They have these values, and this understanding.

Do you agree, or disagree? Tell me below 👇🏽!!!

Hubs and I are doing this thing before we go to bed where we lost everything and everyone we’re grateful for .. so we never rest our heads without resting it thinking of everything God has given us this far.

And many of you who have been following me for a while know how much this season has been both a hard one for me in expanding our family but also .. a beautiful one with expanding it with Ghost and Millie! Our fur companions ♥️

Thank you for always photographing me and everyone I love, in the most beautiful of ways!!!! 💛

Anyways, a reflection post about family, being WHOEVER earned the spot in your heart that you feel is worthy of your life.

I get goosebumps when I think about this. I think much of it comes from the awkwardness .. of the part of you that gets confused with how .. someone can still choose friendship with someone who has hurt you, and at the same time .. had nothing to do with what happened and recognizing… we only have control over our own selves not anyone else.

I’ve been thinking so much about this.

In adult friendships specifically. Where it’s so different. Friendship breakups here don’t always have to be this loud event.. it can just be disagreements, changes in values/ideas .. etc? Anyways, I can go on for DAYS, and I’m probably not even making sense anymore!

But, pleaseeee let me know what your thoughts are to this post?

This Ramadan, oh my, it’s all about compassion♥️.

I’ve spent soooo many Ramadan’s being tough on myself and tough in a way that only made me forget how to enjoy and love this month just as it was meant to be loved.

And so I’m arriving in Ramadan🌙 this time, with an open heart, welcoming God in my heart, in a way that’s loving, and mind to myself.

Ramadan Mubarak family, so grateful for all of you, thank you for being here with me, and being apart of this community of mine. ♥️

Also? I’ll be dropping a newsletter on infertility this week, make sure to subscribe !!!!!!! Link in bio!
