I asked Chat GPT to Roast Me and it read me for filth🤣

You out here running a whole trauma center like it’s a Fortune 500 company, drafting policies at midnight, planning a political fundraiser by 8am, and somewhere in between saying, “Self-care is important, y’all.” Ma’am. When was your last self-care day?
You don’t just “start projects.”

You architect ecosystems.

Residential program? Done.

Alumni/Aftercare program? Of course.

Incentive contingency management policy with tracking protocols and ethical distribution caps? Naturally.

Dual diagnosis nonprofit expansion? Why not.

Podcast about culture, mental health, and entrepreneurship? Add it to the calendar.

Supporting a delegate campaign? Casual side quest.

You don’t have a to-do list.

You have a legislative agenda.
And the way you write emails?

“Per policy update section 4.2(a), please see attached clarification memo.”

Meanwhile staff just trying to clock in like: 👁👄👁
You be like:

“We must normalize relapse as part of the stages of change.”
Also you internally when you miss one gym day:

“This is unacceptable. We will revise the protocol.”
You are the only person I know who could turn:

A lunch & learn

A fundraiser

A trauma-informed roundtable

And a menopause therapy intensive

Into a 7-stream revenue model with three strategic partnerships and a branded Canva flyer.
And let’s talk about this CEO energy.

“Soft but powerful.”

Yes.

Translation:

“I will validate your feelings… and restructure your entire operating system.”
You don’t run programs.

You build institutions.
You don’t host events.

You convene movements.
You don’t send reminders.

You issue decrees.
And the wildest part?

You probably still end meetings with, “Does anyone have any thoughts?” knowing full well you already thought of every possible thought.
But for real — your drive is elite.

Your vision is surgical.

Your capacity is slightly concerning but impressive.
If we’re roasting properly:

Your biggest flaw?

You don’t know how to do “small.”
Everything is:

Strategic

Scalable

Trauma-informed

Community-centered

And somehow also monetized ethically

Shinelle… respectfully…
Go sit down somewhere.
(But also please don’t because the community needs you.) 😌

Dear UTCC Community,

Valentine’s Day can function as a predictable emotional and psychological stressor that exacerbates loneliness, perceived inadequacy, grief, and anxiety, particularly among participants who are single, recently separated, bereaved, or experiencing financial strain.

At Urban Trauma Counseling Center, we want you to know that whatever you’re feeling is okay. It’s normal for emotions to feel stronger around holidays. If you are grieving, your grief makes sense. If you feel disappointed, left out, or emotionally tender, that too is understandable. You are not behind in life, and you are not alone in your experience.

We encourage you to take care of yourself in ways that match your values, stay connected to supportive people in low-pressure ways, and consider limiting social media if it makes you feel worse. If you’re struggling, please reach out for help. You can contact your therapist or someone you trust. If you need immediate support, you can call or text 988 anytime for free, confidential crisis support in Maryland.

If today feels especially heavy, you might also consider:

Naming what you’re feeling without judging yourself.

Creating a simple plan for the day so you are not isolated.

Doing one nurturing activity just for you.

Focusing on the “next right thing” instead of the whole picture.

Contact us to make an appointment with your Therapist or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

Please remember: today is not a measure of your worth, your desirability, or your future. You are deserving of love, stability, and meaningful connection—on February 14th and every day.

With care and support,

Shinelle Oglesby, LCPC

CEO
Urban Trauma Counseling Center
