Beyond Beautiful Pathways

Just added a book review to my YT channel!

My friend Dave wrote about his life and gambling addiction.

I’m a sucker for biographies!

But, mostly, for healing.

Lmk if you’d like the link!

My friend from Ballroom Dancing, Dr. Jerry Woodbridge, has published a fiction chapter book with a 10 year old heroine.

She processes through the death of her father.

I helped her with the manuscript so I’m part of this process as well. 🥹

Today I interviewed her on my YT channel about her background, the genesis of the book idea, where she is now, and what she’s working on!

She also made a companion journal to assist readers in processing their specific losses and thoughts. ✍🏻

Joy Overcame Sorrow is for children, caregivers, educators, counselors, clergy, and adults!

I can put the link to our conversation in the comments.

It is a faith-based book using Christian language, but can be applied for the reader’s worldview.

Dr. Woodbridge is a veteran teacher of 40 years at all levels of education.

This work is a gift, you all!!

Yes.

I like to say, “I do tears.”

In my counseling work some of the most difficult experiences is for someone to not have access to their tears.

What I’ve found is mostly those who have not gotten the holding of space for their true feelings.

You’ve hear the messages,

“Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!,”

“Dont cry!,”

Or,

Some other negtive feedback as a result of the body’s natural release mechanism (crying).

I think I have only had one person in my 18 years who had an over-crying issue.

So, the message is, cry.

And, if you struggle to cry, find the routes that bring you to your tears.

For me is was prayer, movies, and music.

I had to invite these experiences to get in touch with my own tears.

May you be brave and courageous and let your tears flow.

My colleague and her team have put together a lovely outlet and support for women:

“🌟 A Gentle Space for Growth


I’ve created an online women’s community rooted in care, creativity, and conversation — a place where healing continues outside of appointments.



Inside, women find:
✔️ A supportive, judgment-free space
✔️ Guided reflections & mental wellness prompts
✔️ Faith-friendly encouragement (without pressure)
✔️ Boundaries, burnout, identity, and soul care topics
✔️ Connection with like-hearted women — not followers.



This space doesn’t replace therapy — it complements it.

If you have clients who crave a circle of support that’s gentle, growth-minded, and emotionally safe, I’d be honored if you’d refer them.

Welcome to a community of powerful, yet underestimated women who are stepping into the fullness of who they were always meant to be. If you’ve ever felt like you were pouring into everyone else but had nowhere to be poured into, this space was created for you. Here, we gather to exchange wisdom, e...

Generational trauma can be the great silencer. We don’t need to know what happened in our families for it to affect us and take our voice. This episode is about showing people that they are not alone!

Y’all!

My YT channel just reached 100 Subscribers!!

It’s a red-letter day!

I’ve been putting videos about topics I want to share on my channel for years now.

It’s really so I can share concepts outside of my counseling space. For the greater community.

It’s a kind of educational platform!

It also helps me explain things in one go and then have it available for others to benefit from.

I recorded a video explaining The Drama Triangle.

This phenomenon happens in all systems in human behavior and thinking.

Make sure you don’t live on The Drama Triangle!

Please ask me any questions you may have.

Making sure y’all are in the loop!

I’m making a playlist on YouTUBE on Love Addiction/Love Avoidance: Cycles in Co-Addicted Relationship videos.

I’ve worked with folx with these difficult cycles for years, but this is the first time I’ve recorded videos for the public.

This rotating chart is in my office which no one visits because I work virtually now.

This is the next best thing!

Have a watch, listen, comment, subscribe, and share, please.

Here are some of her handwoven scarves!

I mean, when is the last time you saw someone weaving and using the word, “weft” in an active sense?
