One of the most touching moments in my conversation with Paul Lubicz was hearing him openly share his own experiences with abandonment, resentment , and people pleasing.

Paul shared how these experiences eventually encouraged him to let go of self abandonment. Paul found tools to liberate him that deepened his relationship with himself including offering himself kindness.

What inspired me most was learning how Paul used the power of creativity and imagination as tools for his own healing journey. So often, we think healing only comes through talking about our pain, but Paul showed how imagination can help us access deeper parts of ourselves, release old wounds, and create new possibilities for growth and freedom.

I was also fascinated by the diverse healing modalities he has studied and integrated from Indigenous cultures around the world. His approach is both grounded and expansive, blending ancient wisdom with practical tools for modern life.

Paul is a rare gem—a deeply compassionate soul whose presence radiates authenticity, wisdom, and love. He inspires you to do the deeper work, not from a place of fixing yourself, but from a place of returning to who you truly are.

If you’ve ever struggled with resentment, abandonment, forgiveness, or letting go of old stories that no longer serve you, this conversation is for you.

🎙️ Listen to the full episode on The Dr. Sylvia K Show and discover how forgiveness, creativity, and imagination can become powerful tools for healing and transformation.

✨ SMOJE: Small Moments of Joy Every Day ✨

Life has a way of filling every inch of our calendars with responsibilities, stressors, worries, and endless to-do lists. We tell ourselves we’ll make time for joy when we have more time, more money, or more energy.

But what if joy isn’t something you wait for?

What if healing begins when you intentionally create it?

💛 Book the trip.
💛 Grab coffee with a friend.
💛 Call someone you’ve been meaning to reconnect with.
💛 Dance in your kitchen.
💛 Twirl in your living room.
💛 Laugh a little louder.

These small moments matter.

SMOJE is a tool I share in my book to help remind us that joy isn’t frivolous—it’s fuel. Life is heavy enough. Creating small moments of joy can help lighten the load and support true healing.

🌍 IG LIVE TODAY: The Emotional Reality of Living Abroad 🌍

Have you ever returned “home” for a visit and found yourself wondering where you truly belong?

Join me today for a candid conversation with Brittany Alaine, an American living in Germany, as we explore the emotional side of creating a life abroad—the parts people don’t always talk about.

Together, we’ll discuss:

✨ The loneliness that can emerge after the excitement of moving abroad fades

✨ What it means when two places start feeling like home

✨ The emotional experience of returning to the U.S. during summer visits

✨ Feeling torn between staying in your new country and going back to the States

✨ Building friendships, community, and a sense of belonging abroad

✨ How living overseas changes your identity and perspective on home

As a therapist living in Geneva for the past three years, I know firsthand how transformative—and challenging—this journey can be. Brittany and I will be sharing our experiences and insights to help normalize the emotional ups and downs that so many expats experience.

📅 TODAY, June 18
⏰ 12:45 PM CEST

Whether you’re an expat, an accompanying spouse, a parent raising children abroad, or simply curious about life between cultures, we’d love to have you join us.

There is something powerful about women gathering together. ❤️

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can affect our mood, stress, sleep, and overall well-being. One hormone can help: oxytocin—often called the “bonding” or “love” hormone.

Research shows that social connection, physical touch, shared experiences, and even exercising together can increase oxytocin, helping reduce stress and strengthen feelings of trust, belonging, and well-being.

This week in Miami reminded me of that truth.

I came to Miami for my book signing at Barnes & Noble and to share my message on podcasts like Surviving Roots and Cake for Dinner. But what impacted me most wasn’t the publicity—it was the people.

My friends showed up.

They supported me.

They made introductions.

They shared my message.

They reminded me that I wasn’t doing this alone.

No one writes a book alone. And no one launches a book alone.

The biggest return on investment I’ve ever received wasn’t financial—it was relational. The friendships I’ve invested in for years showed up for me in a big way this week.

Being surrounded by friends filled my cup, lifted my spirit, and reminded me how deeply loved and supported I am.

It helped me feel Loved AF.

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned this week, it’s this:

Connection is medicine.

That’s why my favorite chapter in Lonely AF is “Building Your People Puzzle.” Because the quality of our lives is shaped by the quality of our relationships.

If you’re craving deeper connection, Lonely AF will help take you from Lonely AF to Loved AF—one relationship at a time.

Today I had the joy of taking Sarita’s yoga class at SLS LUX Brickell, and I left feeling inspired.

I’m so proud of Sarita and Carey, founders of The Heart Space Collective, for creating a wellness company rooted in something we all need more of: genuine human connection.

One of my favorite chapters in my book is about building a “people puzzle”—surrounding ourselves with people who help us grow, heal, and feel seen. What Sarita and Carey are creating embodies exactly that. Not the superficial, performative kind of community we sometimes see online, but real connection. The kind where people make eye contact, ask meaningful questions, share stories, and remember they’re not alone.

What feels especially meaningful is the synchronicity between Heart Space Collective and the work I share in my book through the 5-Step HEART Method. At the core of both is the belief that when we create space to connect with our own hearts, we show up more fully for one another.

Today was a beautiful reminder that wellness isn’t just about movement—it’s about belonging. It’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and connected.

I can’t wait to return to Miami this October for a fireside chat at Books & Books and to continue conversations with Sarita and Carey about future collaborations and retreats where we can help people reconnect with themselves, connect more deeply with others, and share that energy out into the world.

Because in a world that moves so fast, helping each other feel a little less alone may be some of the most important work we can do. 🤍 Follow .heartspacecollective

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Cake for Dinner with Keesha Scott, and I’m so touched by her warmth, generosity, and authenticity.

What I love most about her podcast is that it’s not about perfection—it’s about women sharing their truths, wisdom, and vulnerabilities so we can create genuine connection and help others feel less alone.

One part of our conversation that really stayed with me was when Keesha shared that during motherhood she sometimes felt like she didn’t quite fit in. I think so many women can relate to that. Motherhood can be beautiful, but it can also be isolating. Sometimes we’re surrounded by people and still feel different, misunderstood, or like we don’t fully belong.

That’s one way emotional loneliness can show up—not necessarily being alone, but feeling unseen, disconnected, or unable to share who you really are.

Ironically, talking about loneliness with Keesha left me feeling more connected. It also helped me articulate emotional loneliness in a new way.

Thank you, Keesha, for creating space for honest conversations and for showing up so fully, even after a red-eye flight home from interviewing Jenna Garth in Los Angeles.

One thing I’ve learned: when we stop hiding the parts of ourselves we feel ashamed of, we often discover we’re not alone at all. Those very things can become the bridge to connection, community, and belonging.

Follow and subscribe to Cake for Dinner podcast. You’ll leave feeling seen, understood, and a little less alone. ❤️

✨ Confession time…

After my New York book launch, I flew back home to Switzerland feeling like I had failed.

Not because the launch wasn’t successful—but because I realized I hadn’t scheduled a single bookstore signing in the communities that helped shape me into the therapist and author I am today.

That realization hit me hard.

So I booked a flight to Miami.

Before returning to Switzerland, I’m making a stop at Barnes & Noble Plantation—the first of many bookstore signings I’ll be doing over the next nine months as I continue sharing Lonely AF with readers across the country.

This event feels especially meaningful because Barnes & Noble Plantation sits next to Nova Southeastern University, where I earned my PhD in Family Therapy. So much of what I learned there—from family systems thinking to understanding how our relationships shape us—became the foundation of Lonely AF.

I’m also excited to be in Florida recording two amazing podcasts: Cake for Dinner with Keesha Scott and Surviving Roots with Cari Fund.

🎙️ I’m honored to share that my interview on the Communicate & Connect Podcast with Dr. Elizabeth Polinsky went live June 1st!

We had a powerful conversation about loneliness—a topic that affects all of us at some point in our lives, yet is often difficult to talk about openly. Loneliness can impact our emotional well-being, our relationships, our physical health, and our sense of connection. It is especially relevant for military members, spouses, veterans, and families who often navigate unique challenges related to separation, transition, and belonging.

I’m grateful to Dr. Elizabeth Polinsky for creating a space to discuss this important issue and explore ways we can build deeper connection, resilience, and community.

I’d love your support! ❤️

✨ Exhaustion isn’t always about needing more sleep.

One of my favorite insights from the book Rewired: The Breakthrough Tapping Method to Stop Overthinking, Calm Your Body, and Finally Feel at Ease by Nick Ortner, Jessica Ortner, and Alex Ortner:

Your body’s energy factories—your mitochondria—can reduce energy production when your nervous system is stuck in stress mode. When your brain thinks you’re constantly under threat, your body shifts resources from thriving to surviving.

Many of us tell ourselves:
💭 “I just need more sleep.”
💭 “I’ll rest this weekend.”
💭 “It’s just a busy season.”

But what if your fatigue is actually a signal that your nervous system needs support?

Today’s tapping session, Energy Revival, is designed to help calm the stress response and invite your body back into a state of ease.

💛 Stop judging your exhaustion.
💛 Start listening to it.

Your body may not need you to push harder—it may need you to feel safer.
