In honor of Mental Health Awareness, we will be hosting a live screening and discussion of CRAZYWISE, offered both in person (COhatch Waterfront) and on Zoom on May 22nd at 7pm.

This beautiful documentary explores how differently psychosis is defined and treated in Western medicine against the traditional wisdom offered in a variety of Indigenous cultures.

Through interviews with renowned mental health professionals including Gabor Mate, MD, Robert Whitaker, and Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD, Phil explores the growing severity of the mental health crisis in America dominated by biomedical psychiatry. He discovers a growing movement of professionals and psychiatric survivors who demand alternative treatments that focus on recovery, nurturing social connections, and finding meaning.

Let’s look beyond pathology and ask, Crazy…or wise?

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today, as I reflect on this day, I find myself sitting with two very different, yet deeply connected thoughts. The first is the quote often attributed to Sigmund Freud: “If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.” The second is a daughter’s prayer to heal her mother in all of her wounded places.

As an adult woman, I have come to recognize how often I measured my mother against impossible expectations simply because she was a woman and because the archetype of “Mother” is burned so deeply within us as the one who nurtures, protects, and teaches us how to exist in the world. The Mother represents the force that gives life, nourishes life, and shapes our earliest understanding of love, safety, and belonging.

What we often do not know, nor are we meant to fully know as children, are the circumstances, wounds, losses, and inheritances that arrived before us through her. With time and wisdom, I have come to understand that people are doing the best they can with the resources they have available to them at that moment.

Adulthood eventually asks us to come to terms with a complicated truth: our mothers were also daughters of wounded mothers. No matter how subtle or profound those wounds may have been, they shaped her life while simultaneously shaping yours.

Today, I’d like to offer this prayer for all of us, not only for those who identify as mothers, because inevitably this becomes a prayer each of us needs in some way: for the parts of us that nurtured, the parts that were neglected, the parts still longing to be held gently, and the parts still learning how to soften.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I’ve been thinking a lot about connection.

Not just with others, but with ourselves.

When things feel off, when we are anxious, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it is often not only about what is happening around us, but how far we have drifted from feeling grounded, present, and connected.

I have noticed in my own life how easy it is to check out, to go through the motions, to stay in my head, or to pull back when things feel like too much. At times, it is subtle, but at other times, quiet exclusion. Too often, I can show up, but not fully arrive.

This breaking of contact is not because connection is unwanted, but because it often exceeds my capacity. It led me to a harder question: how much of my separation is organized around safety? I am working to meet this not with shame, but with awareness.

How do I repair this fracture?

Redwood trees endure not as isolated giants, but as part of a shared system. Their roots grow wide rather than deep, intertwining with neighboring trees to form a connected network that stabilizes them against wind and erosion. Through this interconnection, they support one another, making it possible for each tree to stand taller and live longer than it could on its own.

Mental health is not just about managing symptoms. It is about finding our way back. Back to ourselves. Back to each other. Even in small moments. I founded Sacred Centered You almost 8 years ago to honor my own journey towards wellness and envisioned a collective that is rooted in the belief that meaningful inner work should be both accessible and impactful.

As I plug back into this vision more fully, building programing that calls in participants who are willing to meet the work with intention, accountability, and a genuine commitment to their own growth is the goal.

Connect with us this May as we slow down, reconnect, and tend to what matters. Whether you are seeking support, reflection, or a space to return to yourself, you are welcome here.
