Therapist's Nugget of the Day: Reach Out

“Hey, how are you really doing?”

Sometimes, that simple question can mean everything. Mental health is not always visible. The strongest people may be silently struggling. The friend who makes everyone laugh might be hiding a heavy heart. The one who seems “fine” could be feeling completely alone. You never know what someone’s carrying. Checking in does not require the perfect words—just presence. A message. A call. A moment of kindness.

Reasons to Check In on Your Friends:

💚 People hide pain well. You might not see it—but they might still feel it.

💙 It shows you care. A small gesture can make someone feel seen.

🤍 Connection saves lives. Isolation can deepen struggles—your voice can be a lifeline.

Take a second today to reach out to someone you care about, especially if they cross your mind. Your small act could make a big difference. It did for me today. I had to get labs for my hematology follow-up this week, and the staff was passing these out at check-in. Made me smile 😊

Therapist's Nugget of the Day: The Power of the Comeback

Hellllllooooooo June! Boy, am I happy to see you. I missed posting for Mental Health Month...and I'm not really sorry about it. I utilized May for what it was for and took care of my mental health. I spent more time in somebody's doctor's office than I ever imagined last month, BUT I finally have some answers to my health complications over the last year, and a treatment plan is in place. I'm feeling better and better every day, which I am grateful for 🙏🏾

Listen...Life can get messy. Sometimes you’re thriving, other times you're eating cereal for dinner with one sock on wondering what day it is. And that’s okay. Setbacks happen — burnout, bad days, bad months, isolating, skipping routines. But here’s the magic: You can always start again. Setbacks don’t define you. They refine you. Slide on to see three benefits of starting over.

Encouragement to Keep Going: Your progress isn’t erased because you had to start over. It’s enriched. Every comeback builds resilience, self-trust, and depth. So if today feels like square one? Make it the best-looking square one ever. You’re not lost — you’re rebuilding. And that’s brave as helleontae! Look at me...I haven't run since December 2nd, exactly 6 months ago. I've felt the urge to run for several days now, so me, Nike Run Club, and Kendrick Lamar hit the pavement. It started off slightly painful, but it eased up, and I felt great afterward 😁

Therapist's Nugget of the Day: It's Hard to Pour From an Empty Cup

Annnndddddddd, I'm back! Hey y'all 👋🏾

I know, I know! I been quiet for a bit. I took an impromptu break from socials, professionally and personally, to rest, reset, and rejuv. Honesty moment...I've not been my best self since about October. I've been managing some health challenges that had ya girl down pret-ty bad physically, which then started to affect me mentally. Today is the first day in a loooonnnngggg time I felt like myself again. I even felt like throwing a lil color on my face 🤣

Here's a little reminder: We cannot be the best versions of ourselves if we are running on fumes. Mental and physical health do not take care of themselves. Maintenance requires intentionality. Self-care is not just a buzzword...it is an essential part of life. My choice to prioritize my health over all else is what self-care looked like for me in this season of life. Whatever self-care looks like for you in this season, check the next slide to see why it is important.

💙 Remember: You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to take a break. You are allowed to not be constantly productive. You do not have to be “on” all the time. And your brain (and body) will thank you for it!

💚 Pro Tip: Try taking occasional "Do Not Disturb" breaks, say “no” when you need to, and indulge in something that recharges your energy — like a relaxing bubble bath with candles and good music, reading a book outside on a blanket with a picnic, a hearty meal that tickles your tastebuds, or *gasp* actually sleeping for 8 hours, eye mask and aromatherapy spray included!

"Look, Mama, I made it!!" 🤣🤣

As much as I say I'm retired from speaking...I be doin it anyways 🤦🏾‍♀️ I had the absolute pleasure to serve on a panel at my church about being a whole woman through the mind, body, and spirit/soul. There was no way I was turning this one down. It was a phenomenal event, and I believe every attendee left a better person.

The Mind panel's task was to talk about the importance of mental health and breaking the stigma among our community. My fellow panelists though 🔥 Someone spoke about checking your heart and how it leads to unfavorable decision making, someone spoke about mental health and crises among youth, someone spoke about grief, and I spoke about the things we sometimes miss as signs/symptoms of mental health challenges. Here are some snippets of what I shared. In the quest to practice self-care, make sure you are checking your plate and establishing boundaries to prevent overwhelm.

Annually, October 10th is recognized as World Mental Health Day. This year’s official theme, “It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace,” highlights the importance of fostering supportive work environments.

Gone are the days when work and mental health existed in separate bubbles. With burnout, anxiety, and job-related stress all on the rise, they are intertwined more than ever before. From dealing with chronic stress to depressive episodes, it is clear that avoiding conversations about mental health at work is no longer optional. This year’s theme serves as a call to action to stop treating mental health as an afterthought and embed it into the very fabric of workplace culture.

Whether you are an employee or employer, this year’s World Mental Health Day offers countless ways to raise awareness and take action. You can host a mental health workshop, start a dialogue about the importance of mental health, encourage mindfulness breaks, advocate for flexible work hours, organize a wellness day, and/or join global events. Addressing workplace mental health is not just about individual well-being; it is an investment in a healthier, more productive workforce that can transform the economy and corporate culture alike.

Soooooooo, I was in my "feels" a little yesterday processing through the emotions of closed chapters. While I was out grocery shopping, I decided to buy myself some flowers to cheer me up. I have really come to enjoy fresh flowers over the last few years. Well, I get to work today, and there, my first client is sitting outside my door with this beautiful purple baby for me 🥹😭 Just a gentle reminder that I am loved, even when I don't always feel it. This made my week!

Make sure to do something special for yourself this week. You don't have to wait for other people to celebrate you. Celebrate yourself each and every day.

And S/O to my sister-in-love for being a listening ear while I processed through it. She experiences the uncouthed version of me...it can get ugly 🤦🏾‍♀️🫣

Therapist's Nugget of the Day: It's Okay to Be Scared

I attended an evening yoga class with my good Sis on Monday. It was absolutely amazing, by the way. During savasana (final resting pose), the instructor encouraged us to attune to how we were feeling and where we were feeling it. All last week, I was feeling "some time of way." Anxiety I knew because I had the first part of EMDR training this past weekend, and it involved practicum (practicing on each other). Even after getting through training, there was still such an uneasiness in my body that I couldn't shake. We were listening to music and the instructor through headphones. Free Falling, originally by Tom Petty, but this version was John Mayer, came on. As the chorus played, this image of me falling through the sky grasping for anchor popped in my head, and I just burst out in tears.

This season of life feels very uncomfortable for me, and it feels like I'm falling with nothing to grab on to. It requires me to have a level of faith and obedience that I've NEVER had to have before. It's scary and unsettling, AND I STILL plan to press forward! The instructor encouraged us to ask for what we needed in that moment. My reply: "God, I don't mind the free fall as long as you show me you're right there." Last slide...part of the Bible app devotional today. I see what you did there, Lord 🤣

It's okay to be scared when you're doing something new. I think that's pretty natural. We just want to be cautious of allowing that fear to keep us stuck, stagnant, or serve as a road block to progression. Sometimes, you just gotta do it scared. Along the way, you'll find the help/resources you need, and you might even find it’s easier than you thought 😉

Have you ever wondered what I do between sessions?!? 75% of the time...I be eatin 🤣🤣 Im'ma get me a snack in and might even still be chewing when I come to the lobby to get you!

A conversation I have with my clients often is about not getting too busy to take care of yourselves, so I must do the same. Your body needs food to fuel it. Not giving it proper nutrition can cause fatigue and sluggishness. Make sure you are eating regularly. What did y'all snack on today?
