Honoured to be invited to UMMC TOPCOM 2025 — a conference that brings together medical professionals to discuss international emergency, trauma, and disaster preparedness.

I had the privilege of sharing on Secondary Trauma and the importance of supporting mental health in frontline workers, especially in times of crisis.

I hope the message encourages more awareness, compassion, and open conversations around mental wellbeing in healthcare.

The egg that created you was inside your mother when she was in the womb of your grandmother.
Epigenetics is an emerging field that shows us how we inherit trauma, stress responses, behavioral patterns and resiliency from the two generations before us. Fascinating right? Read more about epigenetics, intergenerational trauma and generational healing in my book, The Glory in Us All.

Infidelity can trigger intense feelings of grief and confusion. As a psychologist, I encourage you to give yourself permission to feel and process the pain at your own pace. Healing takes time, and it’s okay to seek support from a professional or loved ones. Remember, understanding your emotions and setting boundaries are key steps in the recovery process.
