Meridian Counseling

There’s something powerful about what happens when a community chooses to come together—not just in celebration, but in purpose. 🤍

It was an honor to co-host the White Party Shabbat in our home, in partnership with Meridian Counseling and Sunray Psychotherapy Group, creating a space rooted in connection, reflection, and action. We gathered not only to share a meal, but to stand together against antisemitism in the mental health space and beyond.

Wearing white was more than tradition—it was intention. A reminder to be light in the darkness, to lead with compassion, and to believe in the possibility of renewal when we stand together.

Community is not just about proximity—it’s about courage, allyship, and showing up for one another when it matters most.

Getting to know this new version of me- motherhood changes you in ways you don’t expect. Your body, your soul, your priorities, how you spend your time and even who you let into your life.

It puts things into perspective and teaches you to value yourself and your time, because it feels so limited and precious.

I’ve always been defined by my career and drive to achieve, travel and filling up my social calendar as much as possible. Motherhood has taught me that despite those parts of life being fun, fast paced and validating- life inevitably slows everyone down, eventually.

Either through children, health, old age or some other drastic event that puts things into focus, we all end up at some point having to face calmer waters- which usually means facing ourselves without the noise.

When we do that- a lot of things surface. Questions that we thought we had figured out: Who am I really? Am I truly happy? Is this how I want to spend my life? Who is showing up for me now? Who isn’t? Why can’t I find the motivation and drive I used to have? What now?

Suddenly it hits you- this is it. This is what it’s all about.

Life isn’t just about movement… sometimes it’s about just being and existing.

Cuddles on the couch, watching the clouds go by on the grass, making fart sounds to make your baby laugh, neighborhood walks, and cleaning up mess after mess while knowing that post nap…there will be a new one but it’s worth it to see her playing and smiling.

You start slowing realizing all that you did in life- led you to understand that at the end of the day, the beauty of life is in its simplicity & day-to-day magic. It’s not in the big moments, it’s in the present ones- it’s not in the performative action but in the daily grind.

We remember the brutality of running a marathon and getting through something hard, more than we remember buying another designer bag or fancy dinner.

Because it’s in the difficult things we face and the not glamorous times in life- that we truly define our lives & ourselves. They make us stronger and softer all at once.

These are the times that actually matter that shape our character, empathy, depth and purpose. This is life.
