Before texting your ex best friend… HOLD ON WAITAMINUTE ❗️

“i miss them so much.”
“maybe things would be different now.”
“maybe i should just forgive and reconnect”

But if you pause for a minute and think about it, is it ACTUALLY a good idea??

OUFF that’s the hard part about healing 😮‍💨

you can love someone, miss someone, and still know going back would cost you your peace.

sometimes nostalgia sounds softer than the reality actually was 🥲 and doesn’t mean it’s the right choice.

I say this in therapy ALLLLLL the time: 📣
Just because someone is always around does NOT mean they’re a quality friend.

Proximity isn’t connection.

Real friendship is about who brings you back to yourself.
Who feels grounding, not draining.
Who doesn’t require you to shrink, perform, or over-explain. 😵‍💫

Truth is, your healing will cost you some relationships, not because you were wrong but because it no longer works for you, for your current stage of life.

Familiarity isnt necessarily equate to health in relationships - and So many of us confuse the two.

💭 Save this for the days you start mistaking familiarity for connection.

It’s beeeen a minute, and we loooove a good reality check 🙈 esp as we head into the weekend.

Reminder to myself firstttt 🥲- relying on no one but myself, is NOT strength. Having to be the strong one, the reliable one does NOT mean you are exempt of needing help.

“I’ll figure it out” was learned from a place of having unreliable support systems while growing up. Knowing there was no safe spaces or people that we could lean on for supports, forced us into spaces of having to figuring it out ourselves. 😮‍💨

Yes, many of us did get really good at it, and the world even applauded us for it. But no amount of our success or discipline exempts us from needing help.

And doing eveyrthing alone, WILL catch up with you. If not yesterday, then likely very very soon.

So here’s our reminder to the start of the week - asking for help is where healing usually begins for us. 💕

And if you’re looking for help, ofcourse, my team at is always here 💜

Why are we crying when we’re angry? It kinda doesn’t make sense but it does. For most of us, tears is just the socially acceptable version of what we ALMOST said 😬

But even though we’re crying, we’re not sad. Just furious with an over exhausted and burnt nervous system.

But it doesn’t have to be like that, even though that’s how we started doing it, it can be changed, and it will take time and patience and a lot of safety to be able to openly express our anger.

And if you need support on how to do that, we gotchuuu

✨Introducing Fertility Chats ✨

I lost track of how many DMs I got from people saying they’re quietly following along and are sooooo appreciative of these fertility chats and want more spaces for discussions. The fertility world is like the wild Wild West. It’s a place that can feel so dark, hopeless, exhausting, lonely and let’s not forget ESSSPENSIVE 😮‍💨

As someone who’s been in it for the past 4 years, i can personally tell you it really does feel like it takes over everything.

And what kind of therapist would I be if I didn’t hold space for the mental toll this takes on someone 🫠

At first this was just a brief chat on my newsletter which then turned into chats on my stories, which then into a highlight buttt the truth is these conversations NEED to be on the feed, so folks can access it now and the future. Also? y’all demanded for it to be on the feed so yeah 😬

Fertility chats will be a space for us to hold for each other, because this was never a path meant to be walked on alone.

Sending you so much love, for those who are on this journey, I’m with you 💕

One thing Ramadan always does to meeeee, is have me reflect over who I am, and what needs to either change or stay.

And I remember a day this week when preparing a meal for iftar? I was thinking, oh my goodnessss, how faster I’m doing this or how easier things have been? Reflecting back realizing, hey, if I knew what I knew today, and I could do life all over again? How would I do it?

SHARE BELOW, your reflections, I love them so much! I want to hear what comes up for you!

There is a HUGE difference between being raised to know how to ‘endure loss, and hardship’ VS knowing how to mourn them.

In sessions this is where .. my clients have the BIGGEST moments of enlightenment .. where they’re like .. oh? Oh… OHHH… the difference!!!

I love this topic so much, and over the last three hears, I’ve been obsessed with this topic. While I understand this more? I can’t wait to grow and share all of it with you.
