Dinner Reflections + Big Glow-Up Energy Sitting at dinner tonight, my beautiful friend and I found ourselves deep in conversation about our childhoods. It’s always wild when you realize how many overlapping threads exist between people who were seemingly living completely separate lives. One of the biggest shared truths we uncovered? That deep, restless knowingContinue reading “Standard Vibes”

LYSM Vibes
Why I Always Say “I Love You” Life has a way of reminding us (sometimes gently, sometimes not) that nothing here is guaranteed. Plans change. People come and go. Timelines we thought were solid dissolve without warning. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride, and for all the ways we try to control it, we’re never promisedContinue reading “LYSM Vibes”
Shia Vibes
Content Note: This piece includes references to addiction and mental health experiences. It’s Not Giving Disney Channel Anymore… There’s something inherently fascinating about watching someone you remember from childhood television grow up in the public eye. When I think of Shia LaBeouf, I think of his early days on the Disney show, Even Stevens. He played the quirky, chaoticContinue reading “Shia Vibes”
Gatsby Vibes
Limerence, Romantic Obsession, and the Illusion of Closeness As I sat across from my client, listening to them describe their looping thoughts about a specific person, I noticed a familiar pattern unfolding. Story after story I was hearing about moments of connection followed by confusion, warmth followed by distance, hope followed by doubt. Hot andContinue reading “Gatsby Vibes”
Flower Vibes
There’s a line in Sun to Me by Zach Bryan that has a way of landing softly and then staying with you: “Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you.” Up until very recently, I’ll be honest, I had no idea who Zach Bryan even was. Someone introduced me to his music over the holidays, and I foundContinue reading “Flower Vibes”
Under-Reaction Vibes
Under-Reacting (aka Why Your Comebacks Arrive 6–8 Business Hours Later) Have you ever left an argument feeling… fine? Calm. Mature. Regulated queen energy. And then three hours later you’re in the shower delivering a TED Talk to an invisible audience about everything you should have said? Yeah. Same. That’s not you being “bad at confrontation.”That’s your nervousContinue reading “Under-Reaction Vibes”
Self-Concept Vibes
Healing vs. Readiness in Relationships “Do I need to be fully healed to be in a relationship?” This is a question I hear often. The short answer is no: you do not have to be fully healed to be in a relationship. If that were the requirement, none of us would ever love anyone. HealingContinue reading “Self-Concept Vibes”
Tired Vibes
This afternoon feels like one of those quiet moments where the truth sneaks up on you. You’re at your desk, typing progress notes, side-eyeing the spiral notebook like it personally owes you something. It has to be 5×8, obviously. Spiral. Bonus points if the cover is cute. The to-do list never ends. It just… rolls over.Continue reading “Tired Vibes”
Hungry Ghost Vibes
Content Note:This post discusses addiction, trauma, and mental health. Please read with care and pause as needed. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Why This Conversation Still Matters This weekend, I have the privilege of hearing Dr. Gabor Maté speak at a conference, and I genuinely feel excited in the way that only therapists and deep feelersContinue reading “Hungry Ghost Vibes”
Lessons in Disguise Vibes
False Starts False starts in relationships are those connections that spark quickly, feel almost right, then stall, fade, or fall apart before they fully take shape. They’re the nearlys. The “this could be something” that never quite becomes the thing. In today’s dating-app world, false starts are more common than ever. Ghosting, slow fades, bread-crumbing, conversation spikes thatContinue reading “Lessons in Disguise Vibes”
