Authenticity begins with connectionđŸ’«The kind that shows up when you need it, not only when it’s convenient.
In today’s world, where our phones are with us 24/7, “I’ve just been so busy” has become a common explanation
 but it often lands as something much more painful.

My clients share that they’re not only being told “ I can’t “to offers of plans~they’re not even being offered another time. There is little reason for this type of dismissal if someone is at all interested in maintaining a relationship.

And while we’re all juggling so much, it takes only a moment to acknowledge someone we care about. This is not about instant replies, it’s about respect and consistency.

Authenticity isn’t about constant availability; it’s about reciprocity, intention, and the willingness to meet each other somewhere in the middle.đŸ’«.

You’re not broken~you’re aware, evolving, and luminous. Sometimes we’re the last to recognize our own brightness.
In 2026, come work with me. Together, we’ll explore the “why’s,” transform the strengths you once labelled as flaws, and quiet that relentless inner critic.
We’ll challenge the beliefs that kept you stuck, learn how perfectionism shaped you, and honor the intelligence that carried you even when it never felt like enough.
Let’s pivot where needed so you can reconnect with the most authentic version of you.
Reach out, we can set up a time to chat. Contact info in bio.

How are my fellow HSP folks doing? It’s likely been a busy weekend so far.
This is my favorite time of year, but I tend to overbook myself because there are so many things I want to do and people I want to connect with. This year, I’m trying to be more mindful about my energy and pacing.

I hope the tips above support you too if you’ve ever felt similarly.

Showing up authentically is one of the most freeing things I’ve learned ~choosing presence over perfection instead of worrying about every detail being polished.

I believe this kind of showing up teaches our kids that it’s more than okay to be who they are~it’s one of the best things they can do.

Because showing up for others, and for yourself, matters so much more than being the most polished version of ourselves.

Happy Monday! After a first snow and a lovely cozy fire last night, I’m officially on DND mode for any negativity ❀ Let the records play, beautiful wonderland walks and festivities begin. ( we take that serious in our house😊) How’s that for boundaries? ( all my fellow hsp folks!)

We’ve all seen it, witnessed it, or experienced it at some point in our lives. “Mean-girl behavior” — a pop-culture term I hear often in my practice - it can apply to any gender. It’s simply a recognizable way to describe inconsistent, reactive, or emotionally aggressive behavior. Projection typically.

As a gentle reminder during the holiday season, when emotions often run high and people’s behavior can become unpredictable: you do not have to tolerate this.

Protecting your energy is not rude or dramatic — it’s healthy.
Anyone who tries to tear you down is acting from their own inner conflict, not truth. That behavior reflects a lack of peace within them, not within you. Maybe they even see in you what they wish they could possess.

At the end of the day, the real prize and win is your peace đŸ’«and no one can take that from you.

Sometimes clarity comes when we finally pause long enough to hear ourselves.

Sensitivity is a strength — but it can feel overwhelming when the world moves faster than our nervous system does.
Here are a few things many HSPs wish others understood.
If they resonate with you, you’re not alone.

Oof đŸ’«this one may hit home for some.
It’s been coming up so often in my therapy practice that I felt it needed to be said out loud. To support and validate. 🙌

Many people feel deeply hurt when certain family members stay disconnected all year~no texts, no check-ins, no acknowledgment on other holidays, birthdays and not even a simple like or comment on social media. And because social media shows exactly who people choose to interact with, it becomes painfully clear that they’re engaging warmly with other family members
 just not you. Not cool!

That difference isn’t subtle.
It isn’t accidental.
And it often feels like a “mean-girl “move selective, intentional, and designed to exclude. People know when they’re being ignored on purpose.

Then the holidays arrive, and those same family members expect warmth, smiles, and closeness, as if the year-round dismissal didn’t happen in full view of everyone.

If this resonates with you, please know:
You’re not imagining it.
You’re not overreacting.
Selective exclusion is hurtful, and it’s okay to acknowledge that. Their behavior isn’t a reflection of your worth. It’s likely a reflection of their lack of self awareness.

You don’t have to perform a relationship that only exists for show.
You’re allowed to protect your peace and show up authentically.
