Think Therapy Is All Talk? Think Again.

A client came into session and said, "Life is lifeing, and 2026 is 2026ing." They weren't ready to talk. They were overwhelmed, exhausted, and resistant to the process.

So, instead of following my carefully planned session, we played Tic-Tac-Toe.

As the game unfolded, so did the conversation.

At one point, I asked, "What's happening on the board?"

They replied, "O is trapped. It's a catch-22."

I then asked, "How does this board represent where you are today?"

That simple question opened the door to a meaningful conversation about the challenges they were facing and helped us begin working through their anxiety.

As they left, they smiled and said, "When people ask what I did in therapy today, I'll tell them we played Tic-Tac-Toe."

The truth is, we did so much more.

Sometimes healing doesn't begin with talking. Sometimes it begins with play.

Know Your Season!

One of the biggest lessons I learned while taking a break from social media was the importance of knowing what season you're in.

Nature reminds us that there are seasons for planting, growing, harvesting, and resting—and each one has a purpose.

The pressure to always post and stay visible can make us feel like we should always be planting. But constant activity without rest often leads to frustration and burnout.

Take a lesson from the farmers: plant the seeds, nurture the growth, enjoy the harvest, then rest and prepare for the next season.

Every season matters. Trust the process.

No Posts for 6 Months?

At the end of 2025, I decided to take a three-month break from social media—no posting on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or anywhere else.

That three-month break turned into six, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I could have made.

At the time, I didn't realize how much I needed to step away. Looking back, the break gave me space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with what mattered most. It reminded me that not everything needs to be shared in real time, and that sometimes the most meaningful growth happens quietly, away from the feed.

Now that I'm back, I'm returning with a different perspective. I'll still share ideas, lessons, and experiences, but with more intention and less urgency.

Over the next few weeks, along with my intentional content, I’ll share more on the Lessons Learned and Re-Learned by being off Social Media.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your career—and yourself—is to step away for a while.

50/52: September Review
One paradox of this season is that this is also the time where people experience mood disturbances, regret over the year that has passed, and trepidation for the year to come. Therefore, it is an excellent time to be intentional about curating social media.
It's presently flooded with new year specials, gym membership advertisements, reflective challenges, and thoughts of " how to make 2026 better than 2025 ever was."" This overload of information can inspire negative feelings and self-talk.
So, take care in what you expose yourself to within the next few weeks.
This is also the season of multiple social events and great opportunities to meet new people. Regardless of the type of event, you can flex that muscle and say hello to someone new. It may be a one-time encounter, or they could be a new friend in the making.
Social self care is integral to your full development. Do ensure it's not left out!
See you on Sunday!

50/52: September Review

In September we focused on Social Self- Care. This is about nurturing relationships, setting boundaries, and maintaining a sense of belonging and connection with others.

Christmas and year end is an excellent time to connect in groups and within communities.
Being around others, laughing, learning and showing up, helps to create a sense of belonging and boosts our emotional well being. It increases our sense of purpose and meaning and can even provide support during difficult times.

Many of us are self proclaimed "home bodies". However, engaging in social self- care requires us to intentionally connect and to do so, we need to get out and meet others. Slowing down. and giving someone our full attention, laughing, or simply sitting in silence with someone who gets us, is a reminder that we're not alone. It helps us to regulate our emotions, feel seen, and stay grounded.

This week, in the lead up to the Christmas holiday, how can you engage in social self- care?

Join us on Friday as we wrap up our year review.

49/52: August Review

After all the decluttering and organizing, we were encouraged to choose green alternatives and bring nature into our homes.

In preparation for Christmas and the holidays we can think of how to choose green. Perhaps reuse curtains or decorations for one more year or swap with a family member so things will be new to you and your home but not bought new. Thrifting is a great source of unique gifts! There are many options.

Nothing says clean, renewed, or organized like a plant or natural element to a room. It helps to create both physical and emotional space to breathe, to slow down, and to reset.

What can you do to engage in environmental self care in the lead up to the holidays? How can you ensure that your space is alive, grounded, and balanced?

Think about it today!

Join us on Sunday as we do the final review before Christmas!

49/52: August Review

In August, we looked at environmental self care. How managing the elements of our physical environment can have positive impacts.

Decluttering and organizing are in full swing in Barbados at this time because it's Christmas. Traditionally, we clean the entire house from top to bottom and make multiple changes to the decor, trimmings, etc.

The peace, clarity, and freedom felt at the end of the cleaning and changes are indicative of the impact of environmental self care. The physical environment in which we live can heavily impact our mental landscape.

We all have the opportunity to engage during the coming week and reap the benefits.

Join us on Friday as we continue looking at this much needed type of self care.

48/52: July Review

Conversations are immensely stimulating. Whether it’s debating an idea, sharing a new perspective, or exploring a deep question over coffee or tea, they challenge us in the best way. They awaken curiosity. They sharpen our thinking. They remind us we are still growing.
In a world of quick texts and surface-level scrolls, intentional conversation can feel radical. But it’s a powerful way to connect—with others and with our own minds.

If conversations are neglected then play is definitely non-existent for some of us.
When was the last time you let yourself just play—without a goal, a deadline, or the pressure to be productive? Play is not only for childhood, it is vital at every stage of life.
It sparks curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability. Whether you’re building with Legos, doing a puzzle, working out Jenga, roleplaying in a tabletop game, improvising on an instrument, or exploring a new idea just for fun—your brain is lighting up in the best way.
Play helps us think in new patterns. It refreshes mental energy. It invites experimentation without fear of failure. Play reminds us that exploration is enough.

Let's try to incorporate conversations and play this weekend!
