🌿✨ Feeling Grateful & Humbled ✨🌿

I recently had the privilege of being interviewed and sharing not only my personal journey, but also the story and mission behind Vital Minds Therapy.

This journey has not been one I’ve walked alone. Every step has been supported by incredible colleagues, clients who’ve trusted us, and a community that continues to uplift and encourage the work we do. I’m so thankful for all of you who have believed in this vision and helped it bloom into something so meaningful. 💙

Regulated parents raise resilient, emotionally intelligent children.

09/22/2025

A parent who allowed their adult child to become estranged, has abandoned them.

Yes, the adult child may have been the one to take the final step of walking away, but that step is never sudden. Estrangement is not born overnight; it comes after years of unheard cries for understanding, repeated dismissals of pain, and patterns of neglect or control that were never addressed. It is the culmination of silence from a parent who chose pride over humility, denial over truth, and blame over accountability.

People often point to the adult child as the one who “gave up” or “cut ties,” but in reality, the parent had already given up long before by refusing to change. Every chance to listen was ignored. Every opportunity to repair was left untouched. Every boundary that could have led to healing was met with resistance instead of respect. Slowly but surely, the child learned that staying connected meant staying wounded.

Walking away is not an act of cruelty; it is an act of self-preservation. It is the moment an adult child says, “I deserve peace, even if it means creating distance from the very people who were supposed to love me unconditionally.” It is one of the hardest decisions a person can ever make, because deep down, no child truly wants to be estranged from their parents. The bond is supposed to be sacred, but when that bond is poisoned by neglect, manipulation, or constant invalidation, separation becomes the only way to survive.

Estrangement is not the child’s failure. It is the parent’s abandonment. A parent who wanted to keep their child would have faced their own shortcomings, apologized sincerely, and worked to rebuild trust. They would have chosen love over ego. They would have fought for the relationship instead of silently letting it wither away.

So when people say, “But you walked away,” the truth is this: walking away was the last resort after every other door was slammed shut. An adult child who goes no-contact is not heartless—they are heartbroken. And a parent who allowed it to come to that point has, whether they admit it or not, abandoned their child.

These a quiet traumas

09/14/2025

The most dangerous people I've ever met genuinely believe they're good. They move through the world with a sense of self-assuredness, a confidence that can feel magnetic at first, drawing people in with charm, wit, or even a carefully crafted vulnerability. They are masters of narrative, able to rewrite every story to suit their version of reality, carefully omitting details that would cast them in a negative light, exaggerating facts to suit their perspective, and shifting blame so effortlessly that it almost feels like magic. Consequences, accountability, and responsibility seem to bounce off them as if they exist in a different moral universe—one where they are never wrong, never at fault, and always justified.

In their minds, they've never caused harm, never hurt anyone, and never betrayed trust. Yet somehow, everyone around them bears the weight of the damage—the confusion, the pain, the emotional fallout—responsible for feelings and outcomes that aren’t theirs to carry. They craft reality so convincingly that even those closest to them begin to question their own memories, their own sense of right and wrong, and sometimes even their own sanity. Their delusion shields them from empathy, insight, and growth, making it nearly impossible to reason with them or appeal to their conscience. They are, in every sense, untouchable in their self-created moral armor.

That kind of delusion isn’t just toxic—it’s terrifying. It spreads like a slow-acting poison, seeping into relationships, workplaces, families, and communities, leaving behind mistrust, resentment, and self-doubt. It makes people question their worth, their judgment, and even their ability to feel and trust. And the scariest part? They walk through life fully convinced they are the heroes of their own stories, blind to the chaos they leave behind, oblivious to the lives they've disrupted, the hearts they've broken, and the moral destruction they've sown. In their world, they are untouchable, unassailable, and irreproachable—and for anyone who crosses them or depends on them, that is a danger no one can easily escape.
