When romantic relationships get stuck in a pattern of conflict, it can be tricky to keep communication open, productive, and non-defensive. Learn about your tendencies in conflict: Do you shut down? Defend? Criticize? If your automatic reaction is to criticize your partner or defend yourself, PAUSE. Ask for a time-out. Slow down and ground yourself before you engage. Try sharing something vulnerable (“I miss us.”) instead of criticizing (“You never make time for me.”). Instead of defending, try saying, “Help me understand how/why this hurts you…how can I do better?”) Trying these questions and phrases can help you communicate true interest in your partner and in finding common ground—instead of winning!

Perfectionism is a self-destructive belief system. It is often learned in childhood, and it prevents us from showing up genuinely. It also hinders connection with others because they don’t see who we truly are—or that we are human and therefore relatable.

As Brene Brown says, “Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best. Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame.” Thing is, it causes more harm than good. When we put up the wall of self-protection, it has a net negative effect because we’re also preventing growth and authenticity.

It’s scary to risk—I get it and have to work on this too! But do you really want people in your life who need you to be perfect? Let it go. Be you. There is only one you, and you are beautifully unique!!! ❤️❤️

Wanted to share a word of caution about certain medications, their concerning long-term effects, and my experience with navigating the world of meds, oncology, and psychiatry. Do your research, ask questions, and don’t let them intimidate you!

Medications for depression, anxiety, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia are not a cure-all, and sometimes their side effects (especially in the long term) can be worse than the benefits.

I’m not suggesting AT ALL that you stop taking prescribed meds—but do your research and advocate for yourself. And psychiatric medications will not fix everything; therapy, exercise, healthy eating and supportive relationships are hugely important in addressing depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

Warning: Do NOT stop any of these medications cold turkey, as they can cause severe reactions such as increased suicidality and depression, brain zaps, insomnia, and more.

The work is just beginning when you commit to your partner! Healthy relationships require continual effort, communication, and growth from both partners. It’s unfair to commit and assume the work is over, when really it is just beginning. Ask for feedback and LISTEN, and commit to doing the work. As Gabrielle Bernstein says, “Relationships are assignments for optimal growth.” To refuse to try, grow and give to your relationship is betraying the commitment you made to your partner.

Exercise is SO important for good mental health, and yet I often encounter resistance from clients when I suggest it, especially from those who struggle with depression. While it can be challenging to prioritize movement when you’re depressed, it is so crucial to boosting mood and decreasing anxiety. I have witnessed incredible progress in clients who have incorporated exercise into their lives, and I notice a huge difference in my own mood and anxious thoughts if I skip exercise. Plus, it always negatively impacts my sleep, which brings additional mental health problems! To add to the benefit, grab a friend and walk in nature! 🌳 🏃🏼‍♀️ 💜💪

The “I’m tough” mask often starts as survival.
For many of us, it was handed down — a lesson that strength means silence, that vulnerability is weakness, that pain should be private.

But silence feeds shame.
And isolation makes the burden heavier.

Real strength ISN’T pretending you’re okay.
Real strength is reaching out when you need support.

If this resonates, you’re not weak. You’re human.

Let’s normalize asking for help. 🤍

"Not being open to being challenged makes us weaker and less resilient, and it prevents deepening of our relationships."

Check out my latest blog post on Substack, where I explain the difference between emotional safety and agreement. Disagreement doesn't have to mean you're emotionally unsafe; on the contrary, healthy challenging can be done respectfully and can create incredible growth.

It's good to have people in your life who challenge your viewpoints so you can see things from a different perspective.
