SYNOPSIS

We often expect life to be easy, but that expectation only makes the hard moments feel heavier.

In this episode, I share an analogy that helps reframe hardship: when we accept that challenges are part of life, we can prepare, support ourselves, and show up with resilience. Instead of resisting the struggle, we can meet it with intention, grace, and strength.

SYNOPSIS

Rushing has become second nature in our culture, but it isn’t our natural pace.

In this memo, I reflect on how rushing is a learned behavior, why it’s so hard to slow down, and how we can relearn a more peaceful, human rhythm. If you’ve ever felt caught in the pressure to hurry, this is a gentle reminder to give yourself grace and reclaim your own pace.

SYNOPSIS

What exactly does a therapist do — and how can you explain it to someone who’s never been to counseling or only knows what they’ve seen on social media?

In this episode, I break down three simple analogies to make sense of therapy. Along the way, I clear up common misconceptions.

If you’ve ever wondered what counseling really is (or how to explain it to someone else), this short episode offers a fresh, approachable perspective.
