I got quoted in recently on what actually happens when the words, “I want a divorce” come out in a fight (Spoiler: it’s not nothing). Link in my bio!

Really excited to be quoted in recently. This story got me.
A divorced dad. Nine years of the same bedtime routine with his son. Until his 11-year-old said he was ready to do it on his own. A bittersweet feeling parents know well.

Feeling really grateful to have been quoted in and recently. Talking about emotional responsibility, partnership and perspective shifts.

There’s a quiet moment many women reach, one they don’t say out loud right away.
Am I with the right person?

I shared a piece on LinkedIn about why this question shows up for high-achieving women and how it’s clarity, not failure.
You don’t have to decide anything. Sometimes noticing is enough. Link in my bio.

Happy Friday!

Winter/Spring EMDR therapy consultation groups:

Next month, I’ll be starting 3 EMDR therapy consultation groups. We will meet once a month for 6 months. I ask for a 6-month commitment to the group. My groups are capped at 4 people, and we meet online. The cost is $90 per meeting.

Group 1: Therapists who were trained, but do not use EMDR therapy regularly and would like to get more comfortable with the protocol and brush up on their skills.

Group 2: Therapists that are newly trained in EMDR therapy and want to continue to get comfortable with the protocol and hone their skills.

Group 3: Therapists who are working toward EMDR certification and/or have more complex trauma cases.

Group 1: Fridays at 10 am CST
December 1st, January 12th, February 2nd, March 1st, April 5th, May 3rd

Group 2: Mondays at 10 CST

Had a wonderful conversation with Samantha from

She interviewed me about the desire to become a therapist, grad school and beyond. Thanks for the chat, Samantha!

We look like we’re having fun, right?! I saw this workshop run by and come across my IG a month ago. Then a friend reached out and asked if I was going to sign-up. Improv? Play?! In front of other people?!! I had immediate hesitation which, for me, is usually a sign that I need to lean into whatever is happening. I took a chance and signed up.

It was so fun!! Who knew improv games could help me expand my business sense and work through some anxiety. I also got to connect with other business owners and professionals looking to foster some fun and creativity. As adults, we need to play, too! Definitely recommend trying something fun and different ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
