Back to Blogging—Because Therapy Isn’t Just a Buzzword

Well… I started therapy. Again.

It’s funny—this cycle. I was in therapy. Then I wasn’t. Then I thought, Maybe I should go back? Speak all the things. Say the quiet parts out loud. The things I “should” have gotten over by now, or the things I probably “shouldn’t” still be replaying in my head.

But here’s the thing—I couldn’t tell if I was doing it because it’s become a trend. You know, the self-care movement and “everyone needs therapy” Instagram infographics. Or… was it because I actually needed it?

Spoiler alert: I did.

It’s wild how freeing it feels to spew all the mess, the loops in your head, the doubts, the grief, without feeling like a burden. Without worrying that someone is tired of hearing you talk about the same heartbreak, the same loss, the same unanswered questions.

At 32, you’d think I’d be over the grief of losing my dad. You’d think I’d have made peace with those friendships that faded, the ones I still grieve like a breakup. But grief is a shapeshifter—it doesn’t show up politely or leave when it’s supposed to.

So here I am. Back to therapy. Back to blogging. Back to this little safe space I built to be honest, messy, and unapologetically human.

Because maybe someone else out there feels like they’re too old to still be carrying certain things. Maybe they’ve been quiet too long. And maybe they need to hear this:

You’re not a burden. Your story isn’t expired. You’re allowed to speak it—again and again if you need to.

This is me, saying the things people wish they could say—but don’t. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll give you the nudge to say your things too.

💭 Reflections on Boundaries, Growth, and Letting Go

  💭 Reflections on Boundaries, Growth, and Letting Go Life has a way of teaching us hard lessons, and one of the biggest is learning to protect your peace. 💕 It’s so important to surround yourself with healthy relationships , and that includes marrying into a family where love, respect, and kindness are the foundation. Toxic family dynamics can ripple into your life in ways you never expect, draining your energy and pulling you into cycles you don’t deserve. Healthy families build you up, not break you down. And then there are friendships. Losing a friend, especially one who once felt like family, can feel like a death . The grief is real, and the healing? It takes time—sometimes years. Let yourself feel it, process it, and, most importantly, grow from it. Friendships, like any relationship, require mutual respect and effort. When that balance is lost, it’s okay to step away, even if it hurts. Boundaries are not selfish; they’re necessary. They protect your mental health...

💡 Let’s Talk About Competition & Growth 💡

  💡 Let’s Talk About Competition & Growth 💡 Why is it that so many people shy away from competition? 🤔 Competition is healthy . It pushes you to strive harder, aim higher, and grow stronger. It challenges you to keep reaching, to never settle for “good enough.” Without it, we risk stagnation. Personally, I find myself creating little competitions in my head with people I meet—not out of jealousy or negativity, but as a way to set goals and push myself to be better . These mental competitions allow me to focus, grow, and become the best version of myself. Competition isn’t about beating someone else; it’s about rising to meet your own potential. But here’s the thing: Why don’t more people openly share their journey? Why don’t we talk about how we’re financially growing, the hacks we’ve discovered, or what’s actually working? What’s the average savings account balance? How do others tackle debt? Where’s the best place for your money to grow with the highest interest? ...
