🕊 *Echoes from the Nestlings* Where we bleed in silence but traumatized for life.
The Truth About *dysfunctional marriages/ families*
Psychologist’s Reflection from the Nest
By *Rose Mbae*

They are both here, Both present *BUT* …but how I wish
Everyone claps for them at family events.
The church calls them role models, Relatives say, “Be like them.”

But here’s the truth: We sit in *silence—broken* silence.
Because behind these walls, they are not a team.
They *are opponents* in a *never-ending* war.
One fights with silence, the other with *sarcasm* .
Sometimes it’s words. Sometimes it’s fists.
Sometimes it’s just the kind of *tension* that chokes you even when no one is talking. When you bleed *you bleed on us* .

They pray together on Sundays,
but can’t speak without *tearing each other* down on Mondays.
They teach us to forgive, but *never apologize to* each other.

They preach love, but we don’t see it.
They talk about peace, but we don’t feel it.
They say, “We stayed for the children,” but this…
this is not staying, this is surviving.
And we—the nestlings—are the ones bleeding silently in the name of appearances.

Home feels like *walking on broken* glass, or *sleeping on thorns* .
You smile wrong—you spark a fight.
You speak up—you’re ungrateful.
You stay quiet—you’re the problem.

We’re the ones who hear the whispers behind the slammed doors.
We’re the ones who watch the *cold shoulders* last for weeks.
We’re the ones who learn that *love looks like war* .

And so we grow up *confused* , *afraid, angry.*
And unsure if marriage is worth it at all.
We end up *loving wrong* then leaving marriages as a results of wrong foundations.
The society labels us while it *wasn't our fault* ....scars from the nest.

Let me say this now:
Presence *without peace is not parenting.*
Two adults under one roof doesn’t make a home.
Staying together while destroying each other and us is not sacrifice.
*It’s slow poison.*
And we—the nestlings—are the ones swallowing it

We were taught to survive—not always to feel, process, or flourish. But now, we are being called to do something different.
It takes courage to do the work your parents never had the tools—or support—to do. And by doing so, you become the kind of parent your child doesn’t need to heal from.
let's go back to our nests!
let's engage!

Through Grief, We Heal: A Tribute to My Father-

Today marks 11 years since my dad left this world.
It happened during Father’s Day week—
a timing etched deeply into my soul.
Each year, as this season returns,
so does a quiet ache I can’t always explain.

I’ve walked through many seasons since then—
milestones reached, dreams chased, tears shed, laughter shared.
And in many sacred moments, I’ve caught myself thinking,
“If only he was here… maybe this moment would feel whole.”

Grief doesn’t vanish—it evolves.
It shows up in unexpected places:
a familiar song, an old photo, a scent in the air.
It visits during the loud celebrations
and the soft silences in between.
Even as a counseling psychologist,
it still finds me—tender and raw.

But I’ve learned that grief is not weakness.
It is love—enduring, unshaken, still speaking.
Being a professional does not mean I don’t feel.
It simply means I’ve learned how to hold space—
for myself, and for others.

So today, I choose to be real.
To honor my story. To speak to yours.

If you are grieving—whether it’s been
1 month, 1 year, 11 years or more —
I see you.

There is no right way to grieve.
No expiry date on love.
What matters is giving yourself permission—
to feel, to remember, to heal, in your own sacred time.

Let us not forget to check in on those who grieve.
Not only on anniversaries,
but on ordinary days,
when the silence is loudest
and the smile hides a storm.

🕊️ To my dad—
thank you for the love, the lessons, the legacy.
I carry you with me always.

And to every grieving heart—
You are not alone.

🌿 If you're finding it hard to hold the weight of your grief,
please know this: I’m here.
Grief therapy isn’t about forgetting—
it’s about finding safe, gentle ways
to carry both the love and the loss.

At FIRM NEST Hub,
we walk beside you—
through pain, through memory,
through the quiet triumphs of healing.
And when we look back, we say:
“Though we grieve, we also celebrate—
a journey of resilience, of victory,
and the strength to help others rise.”

The Power of Self-Awareness: A Key to Mental and Emotional Wellness
June reminded us of the importance of mental health, but our responsibility to care for it doesn’t end with Mental Health Awareness Month. One of the most underrated but trans-formative tools we have on this journey is self-awareness.
What Is Self-Awareness?
Self-awareness is the conscious knowledge of your own thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and motivations. It's the ability to look inward, examine your reactions, and understand the “why” behind them.

While the concept may sound simple, the practice of self-awareness requires intention, humility, and courage. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.

Why Self-Awareness Matters
1. Improved Emotional Regulation
When you understand your emotional triggers and thought patterns, you're better equipped to respond calmly rather than react impulsively. This leads to healthier communication, better decision-making, and stronger relationships.

2. Greater Personal and Professional Growth
Self-aware individuals are open to feedback, able to reflect on their actions, and more likely to take responsibility. In a work environment, this promotes resilience, teamwork, and leadership. Personally, it fosters self-confidence and adaptability.

3. Healthier Relationships
Understanding yourself helps you understand others. Self-awareness enables empathy—it allows you to see situations from multiple perspectives. You become less defensive, more patient, and more present in your relationships.

4. Healing From the Inside Out
Many of us carry unhealed wounds from childhood, past failures, or broken relationships. Without self-awareness, we risk projecting that pain onto others or letting it unconsciously shape our decisions. When we become aware of these inner patterns, healing becomes possible.

How to Cultivate Self-Awareness
Practice Mindful Reflection: Take 10 minutes each day to check in with yourself. What are you feeling? Why?

Journal Regularly: Writing helps externalize your inner world and spot recurring patterns.

Seek Feedback: Be open to hearing how others perceive you. Not every opinion is truth, but all are worth examining.

Work with a Coach or Therapist: Sometimes we need a guide to help us uncover blind spots and make sense of what we find.

Final Thoughts
Self-awareness is not a destination—it’s a lifelong journey. But it’s one of the most empowering steps we can take toward emotional and mental wellbeing.

As we move beyond Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s make self-awareness a daily habit, not a seasonal message. The more we know ourselves, the better we are at living purposefully, leading authentically, and relating meaningfully.

✨ Your mind is not your enemy—it’s your guide. Start listening.
