As a Therapist
I was recently asked how being a therapist has impacted me as a person and how I hold emotional space for those in my life, here are my reflections.
Balanced Reflection

Book Review: Anxious People
Backman immediately drew me in with his book “Anxious People.” Between calling his characters idiots and his description of the everyday chaos of being an adult, I was laughing out loud within the first couple of pages.
Book Review: Transcendent Kingdom
When I realized that Yaa Gyasi was releasing a second book, I was ecstatic. I loved "Homegoing" and have already read it multiple times. So, I picked up "Transcendent Kingdom" and excitedly dug in.
Cabbage Roll Soup
Skipped the actually rolling of cabbage and threw it all in a pot instead
Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
