Reminder: just because you have a roof over your head doesn’t mean you’re immune from stress and having emotions

If you’ve ever brushed off your own feelings by saying, ‘It’s not that bad, I should be grateful’

Or told yourself you shouldn’t be upset because ‘other people have it worse’

It’s like putting a band-aid on a wound without cleaning it first—it doesn’t actually help you heal.

The truth is, gratitude works best when you’ve acknowledged what’s hurting you. Feeling stressed, upset, or overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re not grateful—it just means you’re human

So the next time you catch yourself skipping straight to ‘I should be grateful,’ pause

Tend to your feelings first. Get your nervous system calmer and in a more neutral state

Gratitude will still be there to help you see the bigger picture when you’re ready ❤️‍🩹

Something I wish I knew in my 20s: there’s a big

Something I wish I knew in my 20s: there’s a big difference between *resting* and *recharging.* Just because you’re lying on the couch scrolling your phone doesn’t mean you’re actually restoring your energy

Remember the bathtub energy level analogy:
1️⃣ Plug the drain—stop doing things that drain your energy
2️⃣ Add more water—do things that genuinely replenish, restore and nourish you

Rest is passive, like taking a break or doing nothing for a while. Recharging is a bit more active— choosing activities that fill your cup—like spending time with people who lift you up, moving your body, getting enough sleep, or doing something that brings you joy. Both are essential

I see this so often in my work in hospice—people running on empty for years, prioritizing everything else but themselves. At the end of their lives, they often wish they’d spent more time taking care of their own needs instead of constantly giving to others.

Life is short, and if we want to live with meaning and purpose, we have to protect our energy. Every so often, check in with yourself and ask “what’s draining me right now?” And “what could I do to refill my ‘bathtub’?”

In honor of November being National #hospice and #

In honor of November being National #hospice and #palliativecare month, here’s the first of some information about this field that I love being a part of

Ultimately, this field is about improving quality of life and relieving suffering, treating the whole person, which includes physical, psychosocial, emotional, mental, existential and spiritual aspects of their care. For the patient AND their loved ones

Because serious and terminal illness doesn’t just affect one person, and it’s the living who have to deal with the aftermath of death

Our field is still relatively new compared to others but in my (entirely biased 😁) opinion, it’s important work and can help so many who are facing challenges related to these issues

Drop your questions and comments below and I’ll share more as the month goes by!

Feeling so so grateful, honored and blessed to have been a part of @tedxjacksonville this past weekend

It started as an idea in 2022, which was immediately followed by 25 months of impostor syndrome, fear and “it’s not the right time”

But it finally happened. The terrified, introverted little girl who used to hide behind her parents when talking to folks found her way to the stage. And it felt good AF 😊

Thank you to our coaches, volunteer staff, and organizers for pulling off an incredible event and creating space for people to gather and consider new ideas

Thank you to my fellow speakers, you wonderful souls who I probably never would have met otherwise. Y’all are hilarious, big hearted and I can’t wait to see what’s in store your futures 🤩

Thank you to my friends and family, for the support when I felt like I was never going to get the talk written or I’d never memorize it, for offering to let me practice on you and so much more. Shoutout to @kmcgheecoaching for braving an epic journey to show up in person! 🙏

And finally, thank you to the people who’ve followed along this journey, and the ones who have reached out online and in person after the talk to share how much these discussions about life and death have impacted you

I used to think I was the weird one who felt that talking and thinking about death was fundamental to living better, but it turns out there’s a whole bunch of you who share that sentiment, and that’s truly the best part about all of this 💗

Once the video is uploaded in a few months I’ll be sure to share it, so stay tuned! Comment KEEP ME POSTED and I’ll send you a link to be the first to know

Now, what should I do with all the brain space I’ve freed up after all these months? 🤔 😆

Please help me choose my TEDx outfit 🙏 The top

Please help me choose my TEDx outfit 🙏

The topic will be about how to replicate the transformative effects that death has on our lives, but without the associated pain and suffering of loss/grief

I’ll be standing on a big red dot, and it’ll be recorded and uploaded for future reference

I didn’t want to wear black because it’ll be dark in the background of the theater and death is heavy enough, no need to wear black on top of it

Ps I still have many thoughts about the election which I’ll share eventually but I’m compartmentalizing so I can deliver this talk and do a good job

Thanks!
