‍Exploring what depression might be protecting or communicating

Seeking therapy takes courage.

The relationships we choose—our closest friends, chosen family, and intentional communities—hold unique power in shaping and sustaining the stories we want to live.

That feeling when you wake up and realize your career doesn't match who you've become?

‍When partners have different narratives about their relationship

Growing up between cultures often means living between stories—carrying the narratives of your heritage while writing new chapters in an adopted homeland.

The cultural narratives that surround us—about success, relationships, mental health, and what makes a life worth living—seep into our personal understanding so quietly that we often mistake them for universal truths.

We're all walking around with stories in our heads—stories about who we should be, what success looks like, how relationships work, and what it means to be a good person.

Your feelings are hurt. Deeply, profoundly hurt. Someone precious to you is gone, and the world feels different in ways you never expected. That ache in your chest isn't something to fix—it's information about how much that person mattered to you.

Your life probably feels like a story you didn't write. Maybe you're cast as the person who "always struggles" or "can't handle stress" or "never gets it right." These narratives run so deep that they feel like facts about who you are.
