Beyouwithcandidar Offering a safe space for adults and seniors to overcome challenging transitions with confidence

I work with adults and seniors struggling to cope with life's transitions.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to honour the cultures, resilience and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

Today we’re listening, learning and holding space.

This is the kind of work that reminds me why I became a Social Worker in the first place. 🩷

As immigrants, many of us carry stories of resilience, sacrifice, adaptation, and strength. But we also carry stress, grief, pressure and experiences that often go unspoken.

This conversation is about changing that.

It’s about creating spaces to talk openly about the connection between our mental and physical health, reducing stigma and sharing tools that support healing and wellness in our communities.

As a psychotherapist, there is no greater privilege than giving back through education, advocacy and conversations that help people feel seen, understood and supported.

Thank you to Asante Canada for the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful work alongside Dr. Rukia Swaleh. I’m excited for what we will learn from one another.

Because when our communities thrive mentally, they thrive physically, emotionally and collectively. ❤️

Freedom is more than a historical event.

It is the ability to exist fully as yourself.
To be seen.
To be heard.
To belong without having to explain or defend who you are.

Juneteenth commemorates the day the last enslaved Black Americans learned of their freedom. It is a day of remembrance, reflection, celebration and truth-telling.

It is also an opportunity to acknowledge how history lives on in our communities, our families, our identities and our mental health.

Healing happens when stories are honoured, voices are heard and people are given space to show up authentically.

Today, we honour the resilience, strength and contributions of Black communities while continuing the work of creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued and supported.

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time not just to acknowledge, but to truly listen.

The history of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples is not a chapter that has closed. It lives in the land, in the languages, in the stories passed down through generations, and in the communities that continue to resist, rebuild and thrive.

Healing cannot happen without truth. And truth requires us to sit with history - all of it - with humility.

This month, learn something new. Follow an Indigenous voice. Support an Indigenous business. Show up.

Pride is about more than being seen.
It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself.

This month and every month:
You belong here. 🌈

Healing started when I stopped abandoning myself.

Not dramatically. Not all at once. But in small moments of choosing rest over one more task. Saying no without a paragraph of explanation. Taking the forever talked about trip.

For years I gave everyone the version of me that was useful. Capable. Available. And quietly left myself on the back burner like it was noble.

It wasn’t. It was just familiar.

Therapy taught me that healing isn’t becoming someone new.
It’s returning to yourself after years of putting everyone else first.

“I can’t today, I have therapy.” That might be the healthiest thing I’ve ever said. 🤍

What was the first thing you did when you started choosing yourself? 👇

Nobody warns you that some seasons, this is what success looks like.

Left the house ✅
Clothes forward-facing ✅
No texts or voicemails I’m afraid to open ✅

And I built a whole practice around helping people survive their hard seasons. 😭

Here’s what 10 years of this work has taught me: the people who look the most put together are often running the quietest survival checklists.

Not because they’re failing.
Because they’re carrying a lot.

If your bar is on the floor right now, I’m not going to tell you to raise it. I’m going to tell you the floor counts.
And so do you. 🖤

Save this for the morning you need it most.
