Recently, there has been a growing conversation and criticism surrounding therapy, with some people believing that therapists are encouraging clients to cut off their parents, blame their families for everything, or distance themselves from the people they love.

In this episode, I read through and react to some of those opinions and tweets, sharing my thoughts from both a therapist's perspective and my own personal experiences. We unpack the criticism surrounding therapy, why some people believe therapy can be harmful to families, and whether therapists are actually responsible when someone decides to set boundaries, limit contact, or cut a family member off completely.

This isn't about pretending that therapists or therapy are perfect. Instead, it's an open conversation about accountability, family relationships, boundaries, and the complicated question of whether therapy creates these divisions—or simply helps people recognize problems that were already there.

A month ago, I turned 28, and it got me reflecting on the lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today. In this video, I'm sharing 28 things I've learned in 28 years—some are lighthearted, some are difficult, but every one of them has helped me grow.

These are the life lessons that challenged me, changed my perspective, and continue to guide me through relationships, personal growth, and everyday life. This is definitely one of my longer videos, but if you have the time, I truly think it'll be worth the watch.

I'd love to know: What's one life lesson you've learned that changed you? Let me know in the comments.

In this episode of Unpack That, we're diving into Olivia Rodrigo's new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, specifically the song "Purple." I thought it would be fun to explore this track from a therapist's perspective because there are so many emotional layers beneath the surface.

Together, we unpack what the song reveals about relationships, the disconnect between appearances and reality, and how someone can be in a relationship that seems happy while still struggling with deeper emotional needs. We'll explore themes of communication, emotional disconnect, and what it means to look beyond the surface to understand what's really going on.

Whether you're an Olivia Rodrigo fan or simply love analyzing relationships through music, this episode invites you to see the song—and perhaps your own experiences—in a new light.

(Spotify/Youtube link at bottom!) In this episode of Unpack That, we delve into the topic of grief, exploring its multifaceted nature and how it manifests in various forms beyond the loss of a loved one. Grief can arise from the end of a relationship, life transitions, unmet expectations, changes in identity, and more. Consequently, the experience of grief is unique to each individual.

We discuss effective strategies for navigating grief, examining the existence of a fixed “timeline” for healing, and exploring how our relationship with grief evolves over time. Ultimately, we focus on finding hope amidst challenging seasons.

My hope is that this episode serves as a reminder that while the present may feel overwhelming, brighter days are ahead. Healing is not a linear process, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
