I got over 8,000 reactions on my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support! 🎉

I spent years being frustrated with people. Friends who flaked. Family who didn't get it. Colleagues who didn't follow through.

Then I realized the common denominator was me. Not because I was the problem—but because I was the one keeping score on a game nobody else knew they were playing.

The expectations were mine. I made them up. Then I got mad when people didn't meet standards they never agreed to.

Dropping expectations isn't giving up on people. It's just stopping the habit of pre-writing how everyone should behave and then resenting reality when it doesn't match.

The happiest people I know still have standards for themselves. They just stopped requiring everyone else to perform a certain way for them to be okay.

That's the shift. Your peace can't depend on things you can't control. And you can't control anyone but yourself.

People who don't value their time will waste yours. Value your time; it's all-important. Invest your time in things that add value, and know that sometimes staring at the ceiling and intentionally inhaling/exhaling is the best ROI. Think wellness, inner peace, and harmony.

Some of the greatest payoffs in life are not financial. Stretch until you see it.

Parmigiano Reggiano or Feta? Goat cheese with the blueberries?

Sitting with someone's tears and not feeling the compulsion to fix it is one of the most compassionate gifts you can give to another human being.

Our bodies were literally designed to cry if the system reached high pressures. As someone who watches people cry for a living, I can tell you the person crying is as uncomfortable with their tears as you are. Just let them flow and know that with each one that falls, there's no story or judgment attached to it.

You're not a baby, dramatic, or [insert negative descriptor here]; you're just a human who needs to cry. As I often tell my clients, sweat, tears, and or***ms help the nervous system, so do them as often as you can, and sometimes they happen all at once! 😁😁😁

Parenthood can be a beautiful journey, but it often feels like a rollercoaster ride with its share of ups and downs. Between sleepless nights, endless responsibilities, and the constant juggling act of work and family, it's completely normal for parents to feel overwhelmed. Sometimes, the thought of running away to a quieter life can seem tempting—a dreamy escape from the chaos.

However, while that allure can be strong, it’s important to remember that challenging moments are part of the adventure. Embracing these struggles with a sense of humor and compassion is vital. Talking it out can be incredibly beneficial—therapy offers a safe space to unpack your feelings, gain perspective, and find balance.

Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. Many parents experience these feelings, and reaching out for support can lead to renewed strength and understanding. Celebrate the little victories, lean on community, and know that every parent deserves a little grace—both for themselves and their families.
