S**t and Life Happens..

When I experience a no show appointment, I am usually concerned for the wellbeing of my clients because my caseload of clients hardly ever no show for their sessions.

When this happens my alarm bells 🔔 go off!

I worry too about my clients!

Mindfulness does NOT require sitting cross-legged for an hour pretending your brain isn’t thinking about 47 different things. 😂

It can be much simpler.

Take a few intentional breaths.

Eat something without scrolling and actually notice the taste.

Write down something you appreciate.

Sit quietly for a few minutes and notice what’s happening around you.

That’s mindfulness.

It’s practicing being where your feet are instead of constantly living in yesterday, tomorrow, or the 900 tabs currently open in your brain.

And your mind WILL wander.

That doesn’t mean you suck at mindfulness. The practice is simply noticing and bringing yourself back.

So pick one: breathwork, meditation, journaling, or mindful eating.

Which one are you trying today?

If you spun this wheel today, where do you think it would land?

Be bold.
Be you.
Be strong.
Be creative.
Be brave.
Be happy.
Be kind.
Be calm.
Be bright.
Be free.

Here’s the thing though...

You don’t have to be ALL of these every damn day.

Some days you’re brave.

Some days you’re calm.

Some days your biggest accomplishment is getting through the day without losing your s**t. 😅

That counts too.

Instead of putting pressure on yourself to be everything, choose one thing you want to bring into your day.

Mine today is: ________.

Now your turn. What did your wheel land on? 💗

Some of your stress isn’t coming from what’s happening.

It’s coming from trying to control what happens next.

Other people’s reactions. What they think about you. Whether they understand you. How everything turns out. Every possible scenario your brain can create at 2 a.m.

That s**t is exhausting.

Letting go of control doesn’t mean you stop caring.

It means recognizing what’s actually yours to handle.

Your choices? Yours.
Your boundaries? Yours.
Your response? Yours.

Someone else’s behavior, opinions, and decisions?

Not yours.

Ask yourself today:

Am I trying to control something that was never mine to control?

What you look for matters.

If your brain is constantly scanning for what could go wrong, it’ll find plenty of evidence.

But the same thing can happen when you intentionally start noticing what’s good.

The supportive friend.

The thing you handled better than you used to.

The moment you chose yourself.

The tiny bit of progress you almost dismissed because it wasn’t “big enough.”

This isn’t toxic positivity. We’re not pretending hard s**t doesn’t exist.

We’re just refusing to let the hard stuff be the only thing we notice.

So consider this your little mental health word search.

What positive word do YOU identify with most? 👀

Read it again.

I. AM. ENOUGH.

Not when you lose the weight.

Not when someone chooses you.

Not when you make more money, accomplish more, become more productive, or finally have your s**t together.

Now.

Because if your worth is attached to the next achievement, you’ll spend your whole life moving the finish line.

You can want to grow AND still believe you’re enough today.

You can work on yourself without hating the person you are right now.

You don’t have to become some shiny new version of yourself before you deserve love, respect, rest, boundaries, or compassion.

You’re allowed to be a work in progress and still be enough.

Save this one for when your inner critic gets loud. ❤️

You do NOT need to figure out your entire life today.

Read that again.

When you’re overwhelmed, your brain wants every answer immediately.

How will this work out?
What happens next?
What if I make the wrong choice?
How the hell am I going to do all of this?

And suddenly you’re mentally trying to climb the entire mountain before you’ve taken one step.

Come back to what’s actually in front of you.

What can you do today?

Not next month. Not six months from now.

Today.

One decision. One conversation. One boundary. One small step.

You don’t have to see the entire path to keep moving.

Save this for your next “I need to figure out EVERYTHING right now” moment.

Rebuilding intimacy isn’t just about talking about sex—it’s about helping couples develop the skills, communication, confidence, and tools to create an intimate relationship that actually works for them. ❤️

As a couples therapist, I help couples better understand their intimacy needs through skills-based, person-centered work. And sometimes, the right adult wellness tool can be another layer of that process.

Instead of ordering something online, spending a lot of money, and then realizing you’re not quite sure how to use it, why you would use it, or whether it was even the right choice, couples can receive personalized guidance before making that decision.

Whether I’m your treating therapist or you’re working with another clinician, I can help you and your partner explore:

• What are you actually hoping to improve or experience?
• What type of tool might fit both partners comfortably?
• How can it be introduced without pressure or awkwardness?
• How is it used safely and appropriately?
• How can it enhance intimacy rather than become the entire focus of intimacy?

Because adult wellness products aren’t one-size-fits-all—and they’re definitely not inexpensive.

The goal isn’t to sell you something. It’s to help you make an informed, intentional choice that feels right for both of you.

Intimacy should be person-centered, couple-centered, and built around what feels comfortable, consensual, and meaningful to your relationship. ❤️

Saturday morning adventure: assembling our new cold plunge tub. 🧊🥶

I’m always looking for new ways to help manage pain and inflammation in my lower extremities—and apparently, I’m now willing to voluntarily sit in a tub full of ice. 😂

Here’s the problem: I absolutely HATE being cold. So working my way toward 3–5 minutes in this thing is going to be just as much of a mental challenge as a physical one.

But I’ve always said… pain is a great motivator. And right now, my desire for relief is stronger than my hatred of cold temperatures.

So here we go. Mind over ice. 🧊💪

Who else cold plunges? And please tell me it gets easier. 😂

“I can’t do this.”

“I’m not good enough.”

“I always screw things up.”

“I’ll never change.”

Say something enough times and your brain starts treating it like a damn fact.

But a thought isn’t automatically true just because you’ve been thinking it for years.

And this isn’t about slapping fake positivity over everything.

It’s about challenging the story.

“I can’t do this” becomes “I can take one step.”

“I always mess up” becomes “I’m learning to do this differently.”

“I’m not enough” becomes “I don’t have to prove my worth.”

Pay attention to how you talk to yourself today.

Would you talk to someone you love that way?
