Helping Humanity Heal, PLLC, Chicago Ridge, IL (2025)

11/25/2025

Boundaries aren’t walls meant to shut people out. They are doors you choose to open when it feels safe, and close when it feels necessary. During pregnancy, your body, energy, and emotions are changing in ways that deserve attention and care.

This season, giving yourself permission to rest, say no, or step away isn’t selfish — it’s protection. It’s choosing what nourishes you and your growing baby, and honoring your limits with kindness.

Boundaries are gentle invitations to show up in ways that feel good, not in ways that deplete you. They are your way of saying yes to yourself, your body, and your peace. 🫶🏽

What’s one way you’re planning to honor your needs this holiday season?

A Black woman gave birth in her car after being turned away and told she “wasn’t far enough along.”
And while the headline is shocking, the pattern isn’t unfamiliar.

Black birthing people are so often unheard, doubted, and dismissed in real time… even when their bodies are telling the full story. This isn’t about one hospital or one decision. It’s about a system that has historically ignored our pain and questioned our knowing.

Experiences like this don’t end the moment the baby arrives.
They can live on as fear, hypervigilance, anxiety, or trauma that makes medical spaces feel unsafe long after the birth is over. Birth trauma isn’t always about emergencies. Sometimes the wound begins with not being believed.

Doula support helps. Community helps. Trauma-informed, culturally competent providers help.
But the system still has to change.

If this story sits heavy on your chest, you’re not alone.
Black women deserve safety, respect, and care that listens the first time.

This is your reminder to start your week softly.

These affirmations are for the mornings that feel heavy or hurried… the ones where grace feels far away.

Save this to repeat throughout your week.

Which line spoke to you most today?

11/09/2025

Some seasons aren’t meant for pushing through; they’re meant for softening. If you’ve been feeling slower, tired, or emotionally drained, it doesn’t always mean you’re “off track.” Sometimes, your body is simply asking for what the season already knows: to pause, breathe, and restore.

In a world that constantly praises doing, choosing rest can feel uncomfortable, even wrong. But honoring your limits is one of the most powerful ways to care for your mental health, especially when the light feels low.

This week, try trading the pressure to “get it all done” for gentler rhythms:
☁️ Ten minutes of stillness before you start your day
☁️ Turning off the noise when your mind feels overstimulated
☁️ Letting something wait until tomorrow

Your worth isn’t measured by what you produce, however it’s reflected in how you care for yourself while you’re becoming.

How does your body tell you it’s time to rest?

11/07/2025

Some seasons call for softness.

For many, this time of year brings the weight of Seasonal Affective shifts; fatigue, low energy, sadness, or irritability can quietly settle in. It’s easy to feel like something is “wrong” with you, but the truth is, your body and mind are responding to a natural rhythm. Giving yourself space to notice and honor these feelings is an act of strength.

At the same time, we can’t ignore the heaviness in the world. Communities are facing real challenges, injustices, and losses that impact us collectively. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even powerless in the face of these events. Recognizing this reality doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.

In the midst of both personal and collective heaviness, small, intentional acts of care matter. Whether it’s pausing to breathe, leaning on a trusted friend, taking a brief walk, or simply sitting with your feelings, these moments of grounding remind you that you are not alone, and that tenderness toward yourself is a radical act.

💡How are you showing yourself care this season, in your own life and in the world around you?

✨ Helping Humanity Heal, PLLC turns one! ✨

This road hasn’t been easy. Just like Chicago, this journey had its construction zones, potholes, and detours. There were moments of rerouting, delays, and unexpected stops. But every turn has led me closer to purpose.

One year ago, I took a leap of faith ,not knowing exactly what I was doing, but knowing I was called to do it. Helping Humanity Heal became more than an idea… it became a space where healing, representation, and community could exist together.

I birthed this LLC in 2020 with a dream to build something that would pour into others the way I once needed pouring into. October 2024, when I stepped into solo private practice full time, I had a full caseload on day one, and I haven’t taken that for granted for a single moment.

✨To my clients — thank you for trusting me with your stories, your growth, and your healing.
✨To those who referred your friends and family — thank you for believing in what I do.
✨To my wife — my biggest cheerleader, my grounding force, the one who sees the highs and the lows behind the scenes.
✨To my family and friends — thank you for your love and understanding.
✨To my mentors and therapist community — every counselor, every mental health professional who continues to pour into me, challenge me, and remind me of the “why.”
✨And to my own therapist — thank you for holding space for me, helping me stay grounded, and reminding me that even healers need healing.

This work has never been about perfection, it’s about purpose. About showing up, even when it’s messy. About building something for us, by us.

Here’s to one year of growth, gratitude, and grace. And to many more years of helping humanity heal. 🫶🏽✨💕

Maternal su***de is one of the leading and most preventable causes of maternal death. Yet, it is too often overlooked in conversations about maternal health.

Pregnancy and postpartum do not protect against psychiatric disorders or su***de risk. In fact, many people are most vulnerable in the months and years after giving birth. And for Black and marginalized women, systemic inequities and barriers to care only deepen the risk.

This is not just about statistics, it’s about lives, families, and communities. Addressing maternal su***de means confronting stigma, funding prevention efforts, ensuring access to culturally competent mental health care, and advocating for systemic change.

Let’s continue to raise awareness, break the silence, and protect mothers and birthing people.
-
If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone:
📞 Call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
📱 For maternal mental health support: Call or text the Postpartum Support International HelpLine at 1-800-944-4773 (4PPD).

Su***de is not just an individual struggle, it’s a public health issue shaped by stigma, systemic oppression, and lack of access to care. The silence surrounding it only deepens the pain.
-
Talking about su***de will not make it worse. Staying silent does.
-
Mental health is health. Healing is possible, and no one should have to carry this alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available:

📞 Call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
💻 Reach out to trusted professionals, community supports, or local resources.
