In this episode, I’m talking directly to the people who’ve thought about therapy… but haven’t taken the leap. 

Maybe it feels scary. 

Maybe it’s taboo in your culture. 

Or maybe you’ve just never seen anyone like you say, “Yeah, therapy helped me.” 

Let’s unpack common fears, bust myths, and share real encouragement for anyone who's feeling unsure about opening up to a stranger.

If you’ve ever felt like therapy might help, but you’re still hesitant, this one’s for you.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about finding you. Right where you are.

Feeling overwhelmed? Take a few minutes just for you. This short, gentle guided meditation is here to help you slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with a sense of calm.

Whether you're starting your day, taking a break, or winding down, let this be your pocket-sized moment of peace.

✨ Press play. Breathe in. Let go.

Breakups aren’t just romantic—they happen in friendships too. And no matter the relationship, the ending can leave behind a heavy kind of heartbreak. In this episode, I'll talk about all the ways breakups show up in our lives, from the partner you thought you'd grow old with to the best friend who suddenly became a stranger.

We’ll explore:

• The grief of losing someone who was once your whole world

• Why friendship breakups can feel just as painful as romantic ones

• How to hold space for your feelings without judgment

• What it really looks like to start loving yourself again

Whether it ended in a blow-up or a quiet fade, you’re not overreacting. Your pain is valid, and healing takes time.

Let’s untangle it together.

  Reflect, release, and root back into your worth.

Welcome to the very first episode of Notes from Session — the space where we get real about mental health, healing, and all the messy stuff in between.

Today we’re unpacking a big one: the pressure to perform your healing. It's easy to forget that real healing is slow, non-linear, and deeply personal. You don’t have to get it perfect to be getting better.

Whether you’re a new mom, a therapist, a caregiver, or someone just trying to hold it together — this episode is your permission to take off the mask and meet yourself where you are.
