I’ve been a little quieter on Substack lately while finishing and submitting my book proposal, but this week I finally had the chance to sit down and write a new Mental Vitamins piece.

It started with a question from an octopus in Remarkably Bright Creatures:

“What’s the point if you stop the business of living?”

And somehow led me to thinking about connection, disconnection, burning valleys, humanity, and why we seem to forget that we belong to each other.

A little reflection on two movies, the state of the world, and what might sit at the root of more suffering than we realize.

I’d love to hear what resonates with you.

I recently watched Trevor Noah’s Joy in the Trenches on Netflix and I keep thinking about this…

Even in the trenches, literally, people found ways to laugh, connect, and be human.

It made me think about how often we feel like we have to choose one feeling. Like if things are hard, we’re not allowed to feel joy. Or if we find joy, it must mean things aren’t that bad.

But two things can be true at the same time.

You can be overwhelmed and still find moments of light.
You can be hurting and still feel connection.

And honestly, I think that ability—to hold both—is one of the closest things we have to peace.

Hi everyone,
Know a Texas LPC who would be an amazing supervisor, but hasn’t taken the next step due to cost?

One of the gaps I see in our field isn’t just training—it’s access to training. We need more supervisors. We need good supervisors. And we need pathways that make that possible.

For my upcoming Texas LPC 40-Hour Supervisor Training (April 24–25), I’m offering a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots for clinicians who haven’t been able to move forward due to financial barriers.

You’ll have 90 days to complete the full course (including the two live training days).

And for those thinking ahead: if within two years of completing this course you will have held your LPC for at least 60 months (5 years), you can still take the course now and be ready when you meet the requirement.

If you’ve been ready for this next step but it hasn’t felt accessible, I’d love to open that door where I can.

If this could support you, or someone you know, feel free to share or reach out.
📧 [email protected] for more information

Limited spots available—please reach out ASAP. Payment plans are also available for all trainings.

“Who the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.” — Karl Menninger

Clinical supervision isn’t just about hours, rules, or checklists.
It’s about presence. Ethics. Power. Repair.

This 40-hour Texas LPC Supervisor course is designed for clinicians who want to become the kind of supervisor they wish they’d had—not just technically competent, but relationally attuned.

✨ Hybrid format
✨ Meets Texas requirements
✨ Rooted in real-world supervision, not theory alone
