Running a private practice is hard enough—billing shouldn’t be the thing that burns you out. 💻 Since switching to Alma, I’ve had support with insurance claims, credentialing, and getting paid on time—yes, it’s possible! 🙌

If you’re a therapist looking to streamline your back-end and focus more on your clients, I highly recommend checking it out.

✨To the good dads out there: We see you.✨
In a world where men often get a bad rap, let’s not forget the fathers who show up, stay soft, lead with love, and raise their children with integrity and presence. You’re rewriting the narrative—one bedtime story, one hard conversation, one proud hug at a time.
Happy Father’s Day to the men who make love feel safe. 💙

Undocumented ≠ Without Rights.

Too many people still believe that if you don’t have legal status, you don’t have any protections. That’s simply false—and dangerous.

📜 The U.S. Constitution protects everyone on American soil.
That means undocumented folks still have:
• The right to due process
• Free speech and religion
• Protection from abuse and unlawful searches
• Legal counsel in criminal cases

These are human rights, not privileges.
And when we protect the most vulnerable, we protect the integrity of our democracy.

🖤 Please share ➡️. Speak up. 🗣️ Know the facts. Silence enables injustice.

🌟 Are we losing the essence of true expertise?

When sales tactics replace ethics, healing gets hijacked.

Coaches are being trained to sell, not support — and vulnerable people are paying the price.

Why do you keep falling for people you want to fix?
The ones with “potential,” the wounded souls, the emotionally unavailable charmers…

It’s not because you’re broken.
It’s because somewhere deep down, love became tied to earning it.

When you grow up in chaos or inconsistency, you internalize the belief:
👉 If I’m good enough, maybe they’ll choose me.
👉 If I love them hard enough, maybe they’ll heal.

Attraction to “projects” is your inner child searching for redemption — not partnership.

But healing means this:
❤️ Choosing someone who’s ready.
❤️ Realizing love doesn’t have to be hard.
❤️ Letting go of fixer roles and reclaiming your worth.

We found our first home together 🏡💛
After years of doing the inner work—healing codependency, setting boundaries, and learning to choose myself—I finally chose someone who chooses me, too.

Finding the right partner feels a lot like finding the right home: safe, grounding, and aligned with the life you’ve worked so hard to build.

If you’re still on your healing journey, keep going. The love you’re looking for—within and with another—is so worth the wait.

✨ Here’s to new beginnings, healthy love, and building the life you actually want.

If healthy love feels unsafe, you’re not crazy.⁠
You’re not “too damaged.”⁠
You’re not broken.⁠
⁠
You’re likely acting from a younger version of you—the inner child who:⁠
👀 Learned to walk on eggshells to stay safe⁠
🧸 Equated love with chaos, neglect, or control⁠
💔 Felt invisible, rejected, or never truly seen⁠
⁠
So now when someone:⁠
💬 Communicates clearly⁠
🫶 Accepts your boundaries⁠
❤️ Shows consistency…⁠
Your nervous system says: “Nope. Danger.”⁠
⁠
✨ This isn’t sabotage—it’s self-protection from a time when love meant pain.⁠
⁠
But here’s the truth:⁠
🧠 Your inner child doesn’t need to run your relationships anymore.⁠
You can learn to reparent her with safety, self-trust, and new patterns of love.⁠
⁠
Inside The Empowered Woman, I help you:⁠
💛 Identify how your inner child shows up in love⁠
💛 Heal your abandonment wounds⁠
💛 Build relationships that feel safe and exciting⁠
💛 Set boundaries without shame or fear of loss⁠
⁠
💭 COMMENT “ready” if you're done letting the past sabotage your present⁠
