Anything meant for you should not require that you shrink or dwindle. If staying small feels safe, that’s a deceit—because true safety is found in freedom, not containment. Stop holding back your gifts for people and spaces that don’t deserve you and can’t grow with you.

Set the boundaries. But don’t forget the consequences, too.

I can’t count the number of couples I see who obviously love each other but STILL end up in destructive conflicts, sexless relationships, or total emotional disconnection.

Hear me clearly: Love is not enough. 🚫

Love is necessary. But it’s also just a feeling. And feelings come and go, heavily influencing our moods, thoughts, and actions.

It’s a romantic notion that “Love is all you need.” But from where I sit, I know we need so much more for love to last and weather the storms that inventively come.❤️

Some of the best decisions I’ve ever made were the hardest. Abandoning my lifelong dream to become a medical doctor to pursue a field I just heard of—that was a huge risk.

People will question you, they will predict your failure, and sometimes even you will have doubt. It’s very important that you don’t listen to those voices. You can go your own way.

Some real talk for the men! Would I say these things in therapy—not exactly! But I have worked on versions of these issues in couples therapy. And don’t worry, I’m equal opportunity so I made one for the ladies 😉

Is going to therapy after divorce or breakup an automatic green flag?

Nope.

It’s a yellow flag for me. It’s what you do in therapy that makes it beneficial. If the whole time you’re complaining about your ex or focusing on everything they did….🚩🚩🚩🚩

Every relationship consists of two people creating the patterns! So to prevent history from repeating itself, and to build a more healed, confident version of you, you have to take a hard look at yourself. 🪞

There doesn’t always have to be a bad guy or good guy in relationship when it’s over. Sometimes it’s “We didn’t work”…and recognizing what you might need moving forward to have a more successful relationship. ❤️‍🩹

💔25 year old me: If he loved me, he wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

After 20 years of marriage, personal growth, and walking alongside countless couples in their marriages…

❤️‍🩹45 year old me: He will hurt me. I will hurt him. Because we love each other, we will repair.

Hurting your partner isn’t always intentional. It’s an inevitable part of relationships. But repair…that is a choice, and a certainty in safe, healthy relationships.
