Just read a perspective on immigration that stopped me:
how the expectation to live well in a new country is so high.
And how so many of us work endlessly to uphold that image.

But leaving your country is never just about leaving.
Itā€™s about what we carry.

We carry survival
the lessons our families drilled into us.
We carry silence
what we mistook for strength.
We carry fear
that dreaming too big might cost us everything.

We donā€™t just leave countries.
We carry them.
Everywhere.

When we start to heal, it can sometimes feel like weā€™re betraying our lineage, our family.

But silence is not loyalty.

Healing does not erase the story. It expands it.
It rewrites the ending with love. šŸ¤ŽāœØ

And that isnā€™t betrayal.
Itā€™s legacy work.

When we migrate, we carry more than suitcases.
We carry ancestral grief, fractured identities, invisible wounds, and the strength to keep going.

Iā€™m launching a series called The Stories We Carry Across Oceans, exploring the hidden intersection of psychiatry, migration, and the psyche.

If youā€™ve ever struggled to explain your story in a therapy room, this is for you.

She wasnā€™t angry. She was grieving out loud.

What have I been up to?
I've been working on creating a 7-phase program called - Mindful Exposureā„¢ā€”a way to see what lives beneath the emotion.
Not just with words. With a lens.

What do you feel when you look at this?
What have you been up to?

ā€œLife is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful." ~ L.R. Knost

I havenā€™t blogged in a while, šŸ«£ but this topic had me so inspired! ADHD in adult women is a conversation that I havenā€™t heard much about.

As more people embrace their ā€˜neurospicyā€™šŸŒ¶ļø brilliance, itā€™s breaking down barriers, challenging stereotypes, and building self-awareness.

Adult ADHD is so relevant, so fascinating, and yes, so necessary to talk about. šŸ’”āœØ

Also, I've updated my website!!! šŸ˜šŸ„°ā˜ŗļøšŸ™ŒšŸ¾āœØšŸ«£
I'm so excited to create photos in a different way, with different intentions.

Canā€™t believe itā€™s almost September!!
Working on some things. Iā€™m excited to share but every time I create new things, it takes me a long time to share it! Itā€™s the intimacy of creationā€¦I guess, and the vulnerability of putting yourself out there.

What are you working on? Anything intimate?
