You’re not “overthinking” if a relationship(s) is costing you focus, sleep, peace, or whole chunks of your day.

Sometimes, it gets overwhelming trying to solve it on your own. It helps to have a practical place and small community of people in similar situations to see things clearly and figure out what works best for you.

Applications for my July relationship cohorts are open now. The cohorts are the place for you to figure out the relationship(s) weighing you down.

* Betrayal & Trust Reconstruction is for broken trust.
* Communication & Conflict Patterns is for the same fight that keeps coming back.
* Boundaries & Emotional Independence is for people who get pulled away from their own needs and goals.

Links are in my bio. Apply today through my July Cohorts page. The application takes about 5 minutes, and if you’re unsure which group fits, choose “I’m not sure.”

Honestly, this explains a lot.

I approach my daily life and my work in exactly the same way.

I choose restaurants, perfume, tea, skincare, books, pens, recipes, Lego, journals, and plants the same way I coach. I'm specific, practical, strategic, and focused on what actually works in real life.

This carries through when I coach people through their relationships with themselves and with others.

In July, I’m opening three small-group cohorts:

* Betrayal & Trust Reconstruction
* Communication & Conflict Patterns
* Boundaries & Emotional Independence

My cohorts are small groups of people who want structured, strategic, and practical help with the stuck parts of life.

And I’m sharing more of my real life because I want you to know how I think before you ever work with me.

So tell me: what’s the thing your people know you for?

Every weekend through September is booked for me.

I'm excellent at multi-tasking and am exceptional at strategizing, planning, organizing, and delivering. However, to make things happen, I've had to learn how to prioritize, stick to boundaries, and be absolutely honest about what I'm responsible for and what I'm not responsible for.

I've had to learn to get comfortable with saying "No."

Ugh, and learning to say no is awful, especially as I'm a former people pleaser and used to equate my worthiness to my abilities to anticipate, solve, produce, deliver, and be responsible for everyone else's feelings and emotional well-being. Stuff that most women experience, particularly if you're BIPOC (I'm Filipino-American) and the oldest daughter.

If you struggle with emotional independence and boundaries, try asking yourself a few questions today:

1) What happens if I don't do it, assuming "it" isn't a work obligation with a hard deadline?

2) Assuming it's not a work obligation with a hard deadline, how did I end up with having most of or all the responsibility for it happening?

3) What is standing in the way of me saying no?

4) What could I be doing instead?

In late July, I'll be teaching 3 classes, and one class is Emotional Independence & Boundaries. In that class, we'll address questions like these and many others. Limited availability and sign-ups open soon.

I'm all for fighting for relationships, expressing yourself, and seeking clarity.

However, after coaching thousands of people, I've seen how relationship disconnections can make people consider unusual actions.

Before doing or saying anything, stop and try to focus on doing something else and talk to a licensed mental health professional.

If you keep having the same fight over different topics, the key question question is not “Who is right?”

It’s "What's the pattern here?"

Maybe you brought up a concern, they heard criticism, they defended, you pushed harder, they shut down, and the original issue never got solved.

The pattern matters because it shows why the same fight keeps coming back with different topics.

This is the kind of work we'll do in my 8-week Communication and Conflict Patterns cohort.

We look at the actual order of the conflict, identify each person’s role in it, and build a clearer process for hard conversations so you’re not having the same argument every month with new details.

P. S. I'm multi-tasking by recording this video and finishing my face mask from Beauty of Joseon.

Beauty is complicated.

I grew up Filipino-American in a tiny Arkansas town where there were no other Asians. So beauty was never just about products. It was about difference, belonging, identity, and what's seen.

That’s why I care about beauty in a very specific way. I’m interested in ingredients, culture, aging, science, identity, and the practical part of living real life. I am fascinated by the routines, behaviors, and interactions that feel kind, make life feel easier, and help us live freely.

This isn’t about buying more things.

Follow me if beauty has ever felt complicated for you, too.

I’ll be sharing deep dives on culture, identity, aging, gender, race, and real-life through the routines and small things I use daily. In all of it, I'm asking the same question:

What helps me feel more like myself?

Help! Plant People, can you recommend any plant growers who can ensure they're sending healthy plants in good condition?

I'm looking for sampaguita and calamansi.

I bought 4 sampaguitas (Maid of Orleans Jasmine) from a grower with good reviews. However, all 4 plants arrived in terrible condition, dead/dying, with nematodes, and having root rot and root damage.

If you want the name of the grower, DM me.

But I'm just trying to move forward and getting healthy, beautiful sampaguitas, which will be the centerpiece of my Filipino inspired front yard at our farmhouse.

Someone great has to be out there!! ❤️❤️❤️

When someone betrays you, don't argue over the wrong question.

The question isn't “Should I be over this by now?”

The question is "What would need to be true for me to feel safe in trusting again?“

Trust isn't promises, pressure, or the betrayer being tired of consequences.

In my July class on Betrayal and Trust Reconstruction, we’re getting specific about what breaks trust, what makes it worse, what has to change, and how to tell the difference between pretty words and real action.

More details to come to sign up for the class.

Judgment free zone over here. I've heard a lot of things.

05/15/2026

When you're taking a self development class on a sensitive topic, do you want community? Or does community even matter?

You helped me decide to offer three classes in July:
1) Betrayal & Trust Reconstruction
2) Boundaries & Emotional Independence
3) Conflict Patterns When Communicating

At least 6 people will be in each class, but no more than 20 people.

All of you stated that you wanted 8 weekly classes, 90 minutes each class, and, in each class, there's a lesson, practice, homework, and an overall individual project.

NOW... I need to know how much community you want for each class. Or does community matter at all to you?

Let me know in the comments or DM me.
