Vacation mode: ACTIVATED.

I've worked hard this year and this vacation feels so well-deserved. A week of sun, doing absolutely nothing, eating good food, and soaking up the vitamin D my body has been begging for is exactly what we need.

Downtime like this matters. Life gets busy, chaotic, and loud, and it’s easy to forget to step back and actually live it. Family time is non-negotiable for me. These trips are where we make the memories that stick, where we connect in the ways that actually matter, and where the best moments always seem to happen.

So I’m checking out for a bit.. going offline-ish.. and fully leaning into rest mode. Take care of yourselves, and I’ll sea y'all next week!

That's a wrap! 2-2 and top 16. Not bad at all if you ask me. Jasper does not agree. He's still harping on me about my missed shots.. equally as hard on his Mom as he is on himself. 💖

Family Badminton Tournament 2025 was a blast! Competitive, fun, mildly humbling, and featured me trying very hard to stay cool while absolutely not staying cool.

Can’t wait for 2026. Same kid, same mom, same secondhand embarrassment. 🏸😎

OKAY! badminton mom update: energy is 🔥

Lost the first (warm-up game, obviously), then came back and won the next two! So we’re 2–1 and riding that momentum. I told y’all I was bringing the competitive energy and I did not lie.

Plot twist: my son is now genuinely impressed with my skills, bragging to his badminton buddies and just like that… I’m a cool mom again. Temporarily. I’ll take it. 🙌✨

More updates to come — stay tuned. 🏸💪

Today’s the day. 🏸

Badminton tournament day and my son is deeply concerned that my racket won’t make it. Meanwhile, I have full confidence in my $40 racket, my bright cheetah runners, and my elite Badminton Mom T.

Am I old? Yes. Am I slightly under-equipped? Maybe. Am I still going there to win? Absolutely.

Wish him luck because he’s the one who has to be seen with me. Wish me luck because I plan to embarrass him and take this very seriously.

Let’s go. 💪

Today has been one of those days that just hits different. The kind where everything aligns, clients have breakthroughs, sessions feel meaningful, and I’m reminded exactly why I do the work I do. I swear I had chills multiple times today.

And then, because apparently the universe decided I needed an extra win, I opened my email just before heading out of the office and found out I passed my CRPO case-based assessment WITH FLYING COLORS! 🤩 And for those wondering, yes it's the assessment I felt highly underprepared for that I posted about a few months back.

Stage 1 of the peer & practice review… ☑️ And I don’t have to repeat it for five years. FIVE YEARS! I’m honestly so damn proud of myself. Proud of the growth, proud of the work, proud of the Therapist I’ve become and the one I’m still becoming.

Some days are heavy in this job. Some days are draining.
But days like this? Days where the good just keeps rolling in? We owe it to ourselves to pause, feel it, celebrate it, and let it land.

If you’re having a good moment day, big or small, please don’t brush past it. Savor it. Sit in it. Soak it in. Let yourself enjoy the wave when life feels generous. You deserve good things. You deserve ease. You deserve the moments that remind you you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

My son and I are doing a family badminton tournament tomorrow and I’m not saying I’m excited… but I did get myself a special T made.

Wish him luck! I’m bringing snacks, skill, and a level of competitive super cool mom energy he's not ready for.
🏸💜😎

Thanks for the amazing T!

Separations are brutal in ways no one warns you about. One minute, you're with your kids all the time and know every detail of their lives... and the next, you're having to adjust to seeing them half/some of the time and suddenly you're missing bedtimes, meltdowns, inside jokes.. it's hard. And it hurts. A lot.

Because it's something you never anticipated when you decided to start a family. You didn't plan to rebuild your life in halves. You never pictured holidays split down in the middle. You never imagined moments with your kids becoming scheduled, negotiated or shared. And while shared parenting can be healthy for kids, it almost never feels fair to the parent who carried most of the load, most of the nights, most of the emotional labor.

We like to believe that separations end with two adults co-parenting smoothly, communicating openly, and working as a team. But let's be real, that's the exception nowadays. Most separations come with conflicts, tension, power struggles, and hurt feelings that don't magically disappear just because co-parenting is the goal.

I see this often in my practice. Parents grieving invisible losses while trying to stay afloat, put on a happy front for the kids, navigating a dynamic that's anything but simple or peaceful... parents trying to accept a new reality that no one ever dreams of, while still showing up with love, consistency, and a steady presence for their children.

If you're in this transition and feeling lost, please hear this: separations are HARD. It brings on an identity shift that you don't plan for. It takes time to adjust. You don't have to figure it all out alone. I'm here to help you brace yourself, build coping skills, and navigate rough waters while you find your footing in a situation that can feel overwhelming and unfair.

I'm here for all of it! ❤️‍🩹

I spend a huge part of my professional life working with survivors, and it’s work I care about more than I can put into words. People often come to me after trauma, carrying wounds from experiences no one should endure. Too often, the very system meant to help them retraumatizes them all over again. It’s a harsh, painful reality, and it’s one I witness far too often.

I witness survivors get stuck in months of waiting. Months of feeling like the system is moving in slow motion. Months of feeling forgotten, dismissed, or ignored by the very people who are supposed to protect them. Hope fades quickly when communication is cold, minimal, or nonexistent. You start feeling like you’re in the way. Like maybe you shouldn’t expect anything at all.

And then sometimes, out of nowhere, someone steps in. Someone who actually shows up the way they’re supposed to. Someone who apologizes for the delays, validates what happened, and makes it clear that they don’t care about status, connections, or last names. If there are charges to be laid, they’ll lay them. No politics. No excuses. Just someone doing their job with integrity.

It’s wild how much that can mean. How one conversation can make someone finally exhale after months of holding everything in. How it can restore even the smallest bit of trust in a process that has felt anything but trustworthy. How it can remind a survivor that their story matters. Those moments when I get to witness these shifts remind me that change is possible, and maybe our system is slowly learning how to do better.

And if this post lands a little too close for comfort in some circles, that discomfort is warranted.

I’ve been using my BrainTap system for the past four days, mostly at night before bed and I wanted to share a quick, honest update for anyone who’s been curious about it.

So far? I don’t hate it.

I’m not noticing any massive changes in my sleep patterns yet, but I am really enjoying the sleep meditations. They run about 20 minutes, and I’ve actually found myself drifting off before they’re even finished… which says a lot, considering how my brain usually behaves at night.

Right now it’s feeling like a helpful wind down tool, something that takes the edge off and eases me into rest without my mind spinning in 17 directions. I’m still experimenting, still seeing how it fits into my own routine, but so far the experience has been more “pleasant surprise” than “gimmick.”

If you’ve been curious about how this could enhance your sessions or support your nervous system, you’re welcome to book in and try it out with me. I’m adding BrainTap as an optional session enhancer, not a replacement for therapy, but a companion to it.

We’re all just trying to find those small things that help us settle, regulate, and soften. This might be one of them for you. So come check it out!

We’re in Sudbury this weekend for my son’s badminton tournament, and I’m feeling all the mom feels sitting here watching him. I’m so damn proud of my kids! Even with everything life has thrown at them, they keep showing up. They stay connected, they stay involved, and they keep reaching for their goals. Watching them choose growth even in hard seasons, reminds me that no matter how hard life gets, we must keep showing up.

Also super grateful that my private practice gives me the flexibility to be here for it all. Here’s to a fun weekend and cheering on these incredible humans I get to call my kids. 💛🏸
