As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I’ve watched people searching. Most of us don’t even realize what we’re searching for, but the urgency is there—a deep need to find something we can’t quite name. I believe that what we’re really searching for is truth. Not just the truth about the world, but the truth about who we are.

The problem is, we often search in the wrong places. Most importantly, we look to the people we love, the roles we play, and the ways others respond to us—hoping to find clarity about ourselves. But what we’re looking for can’t be found in these places.

In Behind the Story: Redefining Who You Are, I explore the hidden forces that shape our identity and how the stories we’ve inherited often keep us disconnected from our authentic selves. I talk about how relationships, the roles we play, and the responses we get from others can distort who we think we are—and how peeling back those layers reconnects us to the truth we’re searching for.

This book isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about realizing the person you’ve always been.

This book is my story—my journey to uncover the truth about who I am beneath the layers of expectations, external influences, and inherited beliefs. Along the way, I share real, raw, and deeply personal moments—moments that challenged me, shaped me, and ultimately revealed the profound lessons that inspired this book. It’s a story that honors the path I’ve walked and offers a message I hope will resonate with yours.

Because the search for identity isn’t just for some of us. It’s a universal journey—one that we all walk in different ways.

This book is my heart, my passion, and my invitation to you to take a journey inward.

Your past might be full of voices telling you who you should be and what you’re capable of, but it’s just a chapter—not the whole book. Every imposed reality, every lie you were told, every self-imposed narrative is just another reason to turn the page.

Your story isn’t set in stone; it’s a living, breathing narrative. Start writing a chapter where your truth, not the world’s, defines your path. ✨

What will your next chapter say about who you really are?

Emotional eating can feel like a never-ending cycle. 🥺
One effective way to break this cycle is to practice mindfulness.

Before eating, take a few moments to breathe deeply and check in with your emotions.

Are you truly hungry, or are you eating out of stress or boredom?

Mindfulness helps you make more conscious choices and can reduce the impulse to eat emotionally. 🌸

Repost from .

"💗When someone says no to you,
or doesn't like you, or simply ignores you remember this:

💗Rejection may make it feel like something is "wrong" with you, but I would like for you to think of it another way. There is nothing wrong with you, so it is not a rejection, it is a redirection.

💗It means that this relationship is just not for you. It's most likely not in your best interest, so move on.

💗Never take what others say and do personally. It is always a reflection of what is happening within them. Why live your life based on another person's opinion?"

I encourage you to view rejection not as a reflection of your worth, but as a natural part of life's journey.

Rejection is often a redirection towards what truly aligns with your well-being and growth.

Remember, it's not a judgment of you but a signal to move towards what better serves your needs and aspirations.

Embrace this process as an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Your worth is intrinsic, and you deserve to cultivate relationships that enhance your life and reflect your true self. ✨🌷

Repost from "Empathy is a beautiful and powerful gift, but it's essential to maintain balance. Showing compassion and understanding toward others is vital, yet it should never come at the expense of your own well-being. When empathy leads to emotional exhaustion, it diminishes your ability to care for yourself and ultimately hinders your capacity to support others effectively.
Self-care is not selfish; it's necessary." 🌷♥️

Feeling overwhelmed and turning to food for comfort? 🍰

It’s a familiar scenario for many.

Emotional eating often stems from a desire to soothe or distract ourselves from uncomfortable feelings.

Next time you feel the urge to eat emotionally, try pausing and asking yourself, "Am I really hungry, or is there something else I need?"

Awareness is the first step towards healthier habits.

Purpose

Hi! My name is Dr Mcayla Sarno. I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist and Brain Training and Mindset Expert dedicated to helping people live better lives. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and success and that to achieve that is possible for anyone to do. Regardless, of where you are in your life or what you do day to day achieving happiness and reaching your goals is simply a matter of changing your beliefs. And when you change a single belief your entire belief system must shift to accommodate that change which means that process should not take a lifetime. In other words, there’s a beginning, a middle and an end to that process. All you need is a starting place. Because most people have learned how to survive but very few have ever learned how to live. My purpose and passion is helping people learn how to live!
