Some people carry a light so big it changes a room, even if they don’t realize it.

For many of us, that light was noticed early.
And while it was often cherished… it was also used.

A part of us learned that our brightness could soothe, fix, or carry the darkness around us.

We became responsible for keeping the peace.

For brightening spaces that felt heavy.
For making sure no one was left in the dark.

Our nervous system wired itself around this role.
So now, when we sense a shift, a tone, a sigh, a look, that same part rushes forward:

💬 “Make it better.”
💬 “Soften the moment.”
💬 “Pull back so you don’t overwhelm.”

It’s not wrong.
It’s protection.
But it’s costly.

Because when we live from that part, we leave our own center.

We manage someone else’s pain instead of staying with what’s true for us.

Here’s the truth:
Your light is sacred.
It’s holy.
And it’s yours to protect.

You can feel someone’s pain and still choose not to carry it.
You can care deeply without dimming.
You can stay rooted in yourself even when the darkness around you feels uncomfortable.

Your light is a gift.
And you get to decide where, when, and with whom it shines.

Which part of this lands most deeply for you right now?

There’s this moment in couples therapy I’ll never stop finding powerful:
When one or both partners suddenly see it:
“My protective move is the thing that triggers you.”
And yours? Triggers me right back.

It’s not because either of you is broken. It’s because your ways of staying safe are bumping into each other’s old wounds.
And when we start to name the cycle, not blame the person—that’s when something starts to shift.
That’s when real connection becomes possible again.

Sometimes insight arrives mid-session like a thread pulling itself through.

In a beautiful process with a client this week we were exploring the
anxious hum of returning to work and she named imposter syndrome
showing up.

And suddenly it hit me:
What if imposter syndrome isn’t a flaw to fix…
but a part with something to say?

It’s not always about not being good enough.
It’s often about being asked (by others or ourselves) to carry too much.
To do what no one could reasonably do.
To hide our vulnerability.
To stretch past our capacity.

And so this part shows up, not to sabotage,
but to protect.

It says:
“You’re not cut out for this”
…but what it means might be:
“You shouldn’t have to do this alone.”
“This load is too heavy.”
“This version of success is unsustainable.”

When we stop shoving the imposter part away *and start listening* we can
access the clarity that comes from recalibrating.

Not shrinking.
Not overperforming.
Just telling the truth.

Have you ever paused to ask your imposter part what it’s really trying to say?

🤍 Save this if you need it.

Feeling indecisive or confused lately?

Maybe you’ve been circling the same question for days. Weighing every option. Looking for the “right” answer but only feeling more stuck.

It can be frustrating. Draining. Even shame-inducing.

But what if that stuck place isn’t a flaw, just a part of you that’s scared to move forward?

Sometimes indecision is a protective strategy. A way to avoid regret, conflict, judgment, or disappointment. It’s not that you don’t care. It’s that you care so much, and this part is trying to help by keeping
you in the middle.

In today’s post we gently explore this part of you. Where it might come from, what it’s trying to protect and how we can begin to soften its grip—so you can reconnect with the part of you that does know.

Save this if you’re feeling torn.
And if you’d like support untangling these inner voices, I’d love to walk with you.

Healing moves through many seasons.
Some are full of momentum and insight.
Others feel slow, uncertain, tender, or heavy.

You might revisit an old wound and think, “I thought I was past this.”
But returning doesn’t mean you’ve gone backwards.
It means something new is ready to be seen, felt, or softened.

Progress isn’t always visible.
It often lives in the quiet moments
in the choice to stay curious, kind, and present with what’s here now.

If you’re in an ebb, you’re not alone.
There’s wisdom in this season, too.

Most of us don’t learn how to name what we really need in relationships.
So instead, we argue. We shut down. We criticize or retreat.
But beneath it all, there’s often something tender…
A longing to feel chosen. Safe. Wanted.
Not because we’re needy—but because we’re human.

In EFT, we help couples slow down the noise and find the real message
underneath the pain.

Today’s post is about these attachment longings—the soft truths behind
the hard moments.

✨ If this resonates, drop a 🤍 in the comments.
Your heart might help someone else feel less alone.

If something in you feels louder than the moment “should” call for,
pause.
Soften.
And remember: this might not just be about now.
Sometimes pain returns not to torture you, but to reveal you.
To show you a part of you that’s still waiting to be witnessed.
You can meet it with love.

Wishing you a gentle landing into this new week.
May you carry softness with you even when the world feels sharp.
And may you know: nothing within you is too much to hold with care.

Just coming off the holiday of Shavuot, when we received the Torah and I’ve been sitting with the idea of being a receiver.

And how that often feels less natural than giving.

So many of us move through the world in the role of the giver. Showing up, doing, caring, holding.

But real connection asks us to step into both roles.
To soften into receiving.
To trust someone else’s offering.
To let love flow both ways.

From an EFT and parts work lens, this dance between giving and receiving often mirrors deeper attachment needs and protective strategies. When we notice what feels familiar, or what feels hard, we get a clearer window into our patterns and our longings.

This carousel explores the art of giving and receiving: what makes each meaningful, and what makes each hard.
Swipe through and let me know which slide resonated most.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and for me it’s not about labels or checklists.

It’s about coming home to yourself.

It’s about honoring the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep you safe — even if their strategies look like overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, or always being “the strong one.”

Mental health isn’t about perfection.
It’s about permission —
To feel.
To soften.
To ask for help.
To be real.

Your emotions aren’t the problem.
Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw.
Your messiness isn’t failure.

It’s all part of being human.
And every part of you is welcome here.

Mother’s Day can stir up so much.

For some, it’s joy and celebration.
For others, it’s grief, tension, longing, or pain.

There’s no one way to feel today—and no “right” way to experience it.
Whether you’re basking in love, feeling deeply unseen, or just trying to get through the day…
Your feelings are real. Your story matters.

Let this post be a soft place to land, wherever you are.

Sunday evenings can feel like a chorus of voices—each part with its own fears, hopes, and needs.

Instead of shutting them down, what if we listened with kindness?

Which one shows up most for you tonight?

👇Let me know below, or save this for next Sunday when the swirl begins again.

We’re not problems to solve.
We’re people to sit with.

I know this idea gets tossed around a lot.
But when you’re in it—when you’re spiraling, hurting, overwhelmed—
what you most need isn’t a plan or a fix.
It’s someone who doesn’t flinch at your mess.
Someone who stays. Softly. Steadily. Without trying to change you.

We spend so much time trying to get it together
when what we actually need is to feel held together—
by connection, by presence, by the simple relief of being seen.

So this is your reminder:
You’re not a problem to be figured out.
You’re a human being, worthy of gentleness.

And sometimes the bravest thing we can do—
as friends, partners, therapists, parents—is to stop fixing
and start witnessing.
