This month, I had the honor of facilitating a grief, self-care, and boundaries workshop with the wonderful staff at the NYC Department of Transportation .

In the "Compassionate Connections" workshop, we delved into the multifaceted nature of grief and the vital role of empathy in providing support.

👉🏽 We recognized that grief is a deeply personal experience, varying widely among individuals, and emphasized the importance of understanding and navigating its various stages. We highlighted the need for effective communication, both verbal and non-verbal, stressing patience, understanding, and a non-judgmental approach.

👉🏽 We engaged in hands-on self-care, self-compassion, and practical strategies for those navigating grief.

👉🏽 We also addressed the often-overlooked aspect of compassion fatigue in supporters, highlighting the necessity of self-care and the use of personal support systems.

I am deeply moved by the lovely feedback and feel truly blessed. 🙏🏽💙

Breakups and betrayals are profoundly painful experiences. They can leave us questioning our worth, our trust in others, and even our own judgment. But here’s an insightful truth: often, the deepest pain we feel isn’t just from losing the person we loved, but from the wounds inflicted on our ego and the shattered dreams of what could have been.

If you're healing from a breakup or betrayal, then this is for you.

🗓 Date: Saturday, 6/22/24
🕒 Time: 10-12 PM EST

Save this post to remind yourself of your own power and worth the next time someone hurts you. 💙

The 4Fs responses of stress and trauma reflect how your body reacts to danger, and the goal is to return to a calm, regulated state of being.

Remember, setting boundaries✋🏼 and checking in with yourself often can be a simple but effective way to start validating yourself, understand where your reactions are coming from, and fostering the authentic and supportive relationships you deserve. 🤗

Which is your predominant F?

Let me know in the comments👇🏽

I'm deeply moved by this heartfelt feedback from a wonderful client.🙏🏽

These words highlight the profound impact of having a safe space to express and process emotions. In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the importance of taking time to reflect, vent, and heal.

Creating a supportive environment where you feel heard and understood can make a significant difference in your mental and emotional well-being.

🗣️Through our sessions, we aim to uncover underlying issues, provide coping strategies, and foster a deeper understanding of oneself. This can lead to transformative changes, not just in how you feel, but in how you interact with the world around you.

👉🏽This Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to humbly remind you that it's okay to be vulnerable and seek help.

Sharing your struggles and triumphs with someone who listens without judgment can be incredibly liberating and healing.

I'm grateful to all my clients and members for trusting me with their journey.

👉🏽Let’s continue to prioritize our mental health, embrace our vulnerabilities, and support one another in this journey of growth and healing.

I'm so honored to share this beautiful message I received from one of our wonderful members.

Their journey through phase 2 of our membership is a direct testament to the transformative power of self-discovery. It's not uncommon for many of us, especially those who've grown up in environments where our own needs were often sidelined, to lose sight of what we truly need and deserve.

🙅🏽Setting boundaries is a deep act of self-respect and an opportunity to foster truly genuine connections by showing up authentically.

On this International Working Women's Day, let's remember to stand up for women's rights, gender equity, and centering the voices and perspectives of individuals facing multiple, simultaneous forms of oppression.

*** En Español ***

👉🏽En 1908 miles de mujeres que trabajaban en la confección se declararon en huelga y marcharon por la ciudad para protestar contra sus condiciones laborales. Aunque el día fue declarado por la ONU en 1975, se celebró por primera vez en los Estados Unidos el 28 de febrero de 1909, encabezado por el Partido Socialista de América.
Además, hay informes de que el día conmemora una protesta de las trabajadoras de la confección en Nueva York el 8 de marzo de 1857 para exigir condiciones de trabajo seguras, el fin del trabajo infantil y menos horas.

♀️El día fue celebrado predominantemente por el movimiento socialista en varios países, hasta que fue adoptado por el movimiento feminista a fines de la década de 1960, y finalmente las Naciones Unidas comenzaron a celebrar el día en la década de 1970.
El Día Internacional de la Mujer (8 de marzo) es también un día mundial que celebra los logros sociales, económicos, culturales y políticos de las mujeres. El día también marca un llamado a la acción para acelerar la equidad de género.

In commemoration of women's herstory month and March 8th, International Working Women's Day, I invite you to pause and reflect on a deeply personal aspect of our journey as women—our healing from internalized oppression.

Many of us carry the weight of narratives that have been embedded into our psyche over generations—narratives that shape how we see ourselves, how we engage in relationships, and how we navigate our roles in society. These stories, often rooted in systemic and cultural oppression, can limit our sense of self-worth, our ability to set healthy boundaries, and our pursuit of authentic connections and careers.

👉🏽If you come from a family where apologies are rare or absent, and accountability feels like a myth, you may have a deep rooted feeling of invalidation that may lead you to question your feelings, and even ignore them altogether.

This behavior may stem from pride, but it's also a survival tactic learned from a young age. Acknowledging this doesn't excuse the behavior but provides a pathway to understanding.

Let's open a dialogue about the power of vulnerability, the strength in admitting mistakes, and the healing that comes from genuine apologies. It's time to shift the narrative from one of blame and avoidance to one of growth, understanding, and connection.

❤️‍🩹Your journey of healing and establishing healthier relationships starts with understanding the roots of these challenges, and gathering the courage to be assertive in facing them and taking up space.

If this resonates, I invite you to join our Self-Worth Hub®, a safe space where we explore these themes and provide actionable tools to navigate the complex dynamics of dysfunctional families, fostering self-worth and setting the foundation for healthier relationships.

👉🏽It's important to remember that the goal isn't to change your parents but to change your relationship with yourself in the context of this dynamic. It's about building a life where your self-worth isn't tied to their approval or behavior. Healing from the impact of growing up with emotionally immature parents is a profound journey of reclaiming your sense of self, learning to meet your own emotional needs, and establishing healthy, fulfilling relationships.

👉🏽Your experiences are valid, and your feelings matter. It's a journey of courage, resilience, and, ultimately, profound self-discovery.

Together, we can embark on a journey towards healing, growth, and embracing life unapologetically.
