The look of tired (mixed with satisfaction), after wrapping up my LAST day of a 6 month Internal Family Systems (IFS) training! I’ve learned SO much, and wait to incorporate these tools into my work as an official IFS Level 1 trainer. Though I’ve loved it here, there will be no more programs for me for a while!😆

Life seems to be moving fast these days! Seems like I was JUST celebrating my acceptance into the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women in Business Program. Now today, I paid it forward by assisting in interviewing prospective candidates for the next cohort. Grateful! ☺️💕

True love sets you free.
It doesn’t control. It doesn’t judge. It liberates. 💫

We often understand this in the context of romantic relationships. But what about the love you give yourself?

Do you only allow self-love under certain conditions?

I’ll love myself when I lose weight.

When I’m in a relationship.

When I have kids.

When my bank account hits a certain number.

These aren't standards — they're shackles.
You don’t need the world’s permission to love yourself.
You just need yours. ❤️

You are the one you've been waiting for.
And guess what? You're right on time.

Loving yourself, unconditionally, is a radical act. Start the revolution.

“Talking about my problems in therapy will make them worse.”

TRUTH: False!

Some people were taught that expressing feelings = complaining. So they stay silent, hoping the problem goes away.

But here’s the thing...
If I tell you not to blink… what do you do?
You blink.
The more you resist a feeling, the stronger it pushes back.

Bottled-up emotions don’t vanish — they build into stress, anxiety, or even physical symptoms.

Therapy gives you space to:
✅ Be heard without judgment
✅ Process what you’ve been holding in
✅ Gain fresh insights + real solutions (I love to hear clients say, " I've never thought about it that way."

Talking is not complaining. It’s healing. 💬🧠

If a doctor instructed you to take your physical health more seriously, you’d probably change your habits—eat better, move more, rest, and stay consistent. You’d know it takes effort every day to feel better and stay well.

But when it comes to mental health?
Suddenly it feels optional.
You start feeling good… and then stop doing all the things that helped you get there.
Here’s the truth....it doesn’t work that way.

Your mind needs the same daily care as your body.
So ask:
👉 Where might you be abandoning yourself?
👉 What small daily habits can help you stay grounded and consistent?

Because showing up for yourself isn’t a once-in-a-while thing.
It’s an everyday kind of love. 💛

Ever been asked the question,
"Why are you so dressed up?"

If it has bothered you, consider this.....
Most of society dresses up every day.

Not necessarily with their clothes.
But in masks.

- Pretending to share close bonds in friendship/family circles, when they really can't stand one another..in order to belong.
-Constantly being surrounded by people, yet still lonely.
- Faking perfection
- Claiming "unbothered" while constantly on a quest for external validation.
- Brunching to avoid breakdowns
-Claiming to fully accept themselves, but ONLY the parts that feel “worthy” or "acceptable"

Showing up as your true self is can be scary. 👻
Hence, the reason why it becomes too painful for many

So don’t take it personal.
And when they ask,
**“Why are you so dressed up?”**
They don't realize they are dressed up too.
Just smile and say—
**“Because it’s Monday!”** 💁🏽‍♀️
Happy Monday Everyone! Have a great week! 😉😁

True or False?
The time spent in therapy sessions alone is enough for someone to experience the personal growth they’re hoping for.

Answer: It depends.

Sometimes, yes—a few sessions can be enough, especially when someone is looking to problem-solve a specific issue. In these cases, a therapist can help process the situation, offer insight, and explore options.

But when it comes to deeper work—like healing from trauma or shifting long-standing patterns—the real growth often happens between sessions. That’s where the insights from therapy are put into practice. Progress comes from the consistent effort, reflection, and follow-through outside the therapy room.

Therapy can be a powerful guide—but the transformation is in the work you do with it.

Think you made a mistake or a wrong choice? You’ve got two ways to look at it:

**Option A:** Call it a failure, while seeing your self as a failure too. Beat yourself up. Start doubting your decisions. Over time, that leads to regret, self-doubt, and a whole lot of *“what ifs.”*

**Option B:** See it as a lesson. Grab the insight, learn from it, and carry that wisdom into whatever comes next. Over time? You build confidence, clarity, and a toolkit of combined life experiences.

The choice is yours. Growth or guilt?

True or False?
If you don’t feel better right away in therapy, it’s probably not working.

❌ False!

In fact, it’s totally normal to feel worse before you feel better.

Here’s why:
Many of us have spent years—sometimes decades—pushing down pain, ignoring emotions, and avoiding hard truths. 🧠💔

Therapy brings that stuff to the surface. And while that can feel heavy or uncomfortable at first, it’s actually part of the healing process.

Think of it like a wound: it has to scab over and look a little messy before it truly starts to heal. 🩹

So if therapy feels tough in the beginning, it doesn’t mean it’s not working—it might mean it’s finally starting to.

Want to connect more with your emotions? Try setting aside just a few minutes each day to check in and get curious about yourself by asking, "How am I feeling?"

It may seem small, but this simple habit is powerful. Too often, we go through the day on autopilot, focusing on everything but ourselves. By making this question a daily practice, you send yourself a message—you matter.

Over time, this builds a habit of self-awareness, helping you tune into your emotions, thoughts, and overall well-being. Start today.
