Over the next few weeks. we're going to be highlighting some Social Work Pioneers in celebration of your special month (and they all happen to be women... did you know that it is also Women's History Month?!). Come along with us on a journey through the lives of some of the individuals who have shaped the field of Social Work into what it is today. First up, the Mother of Social Work, Jane Addams.

When someone doesn’t fight for the relationship, the pain often turns inward. You start asking, “Why wasn’t I worth fighting for?” And as your coach, I want to gently interrupt that question—not to dismiss it, but to aim it in the right direction. Because what you’re really asking is whether your worth was the problem. It wasn’t.

People don’t fail to fight because the love wasn’t real enough. They fail to fight when intimacy activates fear they don’t know how to face, when accountability feels threatening, or when growth requires them to show up in ways they’ve never practiced. Avoidance looks like indifference on the outside, but underneath it is often a deep resistance to emotional responsibility. That resistance has nothing to do with your value.

You were worth fighting for. The truth is simply that they weren’t equipped—or willing—to fight themselves. And a relationship where only one person is doing the emotional labor isn’t a partnership; it’s survival. Healing begins when you stop measuring your worth by someone else’s capacity and start honoring the fact that you were brave enough to want something real.

YOU’RE NOT BROKEN!

Mental health has been ignored, condemned and overcomplicated. The reality is that like physical health, we all have mental health, and we all need to protect it.

Unfortunately, too many people are diagnosed with mental illness without ever being given practical tools to regulate their nervous system. Many therapists don’t even know how to regulate their own.

When I was a successful therapist with a six-figure practice and a client waiting list, I still spent years dysregulated and chasing approval.

No matter how loyal I was...
No matter how many people I helped...
No matter how much money I made...
No matter how much success I had...
I was still anxious. I was still depressed.

Imposter syndrome, had me chasing validation like a thief in the night.

Even after building a beautiful marriage and family, it wasn’t enough.
I just couldn’t feel genuinely happy for any length of time.

With a diagnoses of PTSD, anxiety, and depression — I believed I was broken, and thought I just needed to work harder.

When I got weary from all the hustling, I numbed out, self destructing with food, alcohol, and anger.

When I eventually burned out, and found myself in an incredibly dark season, I was forced to look in the mirror and finally take a long hard look at examine my destructive behaviors, internal thoughts, and beliefs.

A lot of artists and entrepreneurs experience these dark seasons, and sadly, many don’t make it out. As scary as that season was for me, I am one of the lucky ones who lived to tell about it. I’ve now spent the last five years coaching artists, entrepreneurs and executives on how to take control of their mental wellness journey.

This masterclass is the roadmap I needed when I was overscheduled, people-pleasing, and miserable.

It’s full of the tools that helped me find myself — and reclaim my inner peace and enthusiasm for life.

If you want to remember who you are, and reclaim your mental wellness, join me in kicking off Mental Health Awareness Month, on May 1st at 7 p.m. CT (on Zoom).

Welcome Back Warrior, see you soon.
