Hello hello 😊

It’s the long awaited update for Consider It Wellness :)

It’s not everything, but it’s the first part of what I’m able to share right now, but don’t worry! There’s more waiting in the wings 💙

Decolonizing mental health is really important to me, so that’s where this work is leading me. I want to focus on my passions for educating as the priority to empower people to care for themselves before their mental health challenges morph into mental health diagnoses.

As Mental Health First Aid teaches, it’s about community supports for prevention and for me that’s all about accessible resources.

This topic is one of the most polarizing topics I’ve seen.

I think that sometimes we are so focused on ourselves we don’t realize how we’re hurting other people.

Filipino Americans are hurt by choices their families made to start a new life. Attempting to reclaim their ethnic and cultural identity, but on the way also minimizing the Filipino National Identity.

I think so much weight is placed on the ethnic identifier in the US but the deeper reflection is how does your ethnic/cultural identity inform your national one.

Because let’s be real. There’s parts of the US American identity that people don’t want to associate with. There’s parts of the Filipino identity that people also don’t want to associate with. But that’s not an American or a Filipino thing. It’s an Immigrant thing.

Whether forced to leave as a refugee or to choose to leave, it’s usually tied to some feelings about the national identity.

So if you’ve asked the question “Am I Filipino enough?” Have you taken the time to ask “How American am I?”

Because for me and my family, our Croatian, Bulgarian, and Filipino Identities outweighed the American one

From the bookstagram chat to my parents telling me its possibly too scary for my kids.

Hear me out, when we are trying our best not to expose our kids to real life scary things, books, movies, and TV shows can be a window into those feelings. Allowing our children to process really difficult emotions that they wouldn't have felt otherwise.

They can be a useful tool in expanding emotional intelligence and cognitive processing.

They can teach children how to self talk and grounded themselves when confronted with difficult feelings while watching books, movies, and tv.

My most viral post with Millions of views is about generational trauma.

It’s something that so much of my professional life has been focused on.

Lola’s whole message was about telling the stories so people don’t forget.

Regardless of where we come from in the world, generational trauma exists because war, famine, oppression, all of it exists in all countries and ethnicities.

How can we then hold together and help prevent physical and mental health disorders? It’s by telling stories. It’s by sharing what came before. Because despite what some people believe, you can feel the pain of a history you never were taught. These thoughts and feelings left unattended can manifest into more severe presentations and possible mental health disorders.

Tell the stories and remember.

In the stories we find our power and resilience.

Tell the stories and

Batiba has me thinking.

This one could be more of a hottake, but it’s pretty serious topic for me.

I think I see a willful stagnation in people that gets justified by their perceived output of goodness into the world. People absolving themselves from self improvement because they’re helping others.

I think Batiba shows us that side of an outward display of altruism. That sometimes it can come from a selfish place of self preservation.

There’s a fine line and Batiba represents that for me.

Stay tuned, I have some book recs to follow for the Batiba fans.

If you haven’t seen forgotten island, then please go see it.

I have a lot to say as a Filipino reader and as a mental health professional.

There’s gonna be an overlap in all these posts, but hope you follow what I’m laying down!

Nolan Wells’s friends, Cornell 7, S*x Trafficking, child sexual exploitation related suicides.

The US has a cultural problem. The US has an education problem.

All these heinous criminals were children once. I don’t think kids think to themselves, ‘one day when I grow up I’m going to be a rapist!’

I am angry at the lack of justice. I’m angry how this story repeats over and over again with different players. Over and over again with no justice.

I have been observing something important as a School Counselor.

My kids school here teaches a lot of character development. But not in a superficial way. My pre-k student is learning his social skills and they are challenging him to do hard things. My 2nd grader is learning about creating and finding her identity.

Yes, my kids go to a private school now, but they’re doing school wide character development SEL without calling it SEL.

Teaching Children character development shouldn’t be political, but the US has made it that way.

Teachers saying they don’t have time to learn SEL, school administrators cutting funding for mental health staff, school systems pathologizing behaviors and being active contributors to the school to prison pipeline.

If we can’t trust the justice system to hold people accountable, then we have to teach people to hold themselves accountable as children.

All of this is crazy. Stop waiting for the US justice system to do right because it’s not going to. The way the laws are written make it that way.

Stop waiting for the change, and BE the fu***ng change.

I have more to say, but this platform sucks.
