I Almost Said No to a Treatment That Could Save My Life

I’m going to be really honest here.

There was a moment where I nearly walked away from brachytherapy. Not because my doctors told me not to do it. Not because it wasn’t recommended. But because I was terrified.

Not logical fear. Not evidence...

Every year, it happens like clockwork.

Backpacks come out. Uniforms get washed. Lunch boxes reappear from the back of cupboards. And suddenly, for separated or separating parents, everything feels heavier.

I see it every single year once school goes back. Routines change. Expectations shift. Commu...

No one warns you that separation turns everyday decisions into emotional minefields.

Suddenly, something as simple as childcare becomes loaded. Who does drop-off. Who pays. Who decides. And somehow, it feels like every choice you make might be judged by your ex, your lawyer, the court, or your own ...

I know this might sound a little unexpected… but I don’t say “f*ck you” to cancer.

And before you roll your eyes or think I’m soft, let me explain.

The first time I saw that phrase, I got it. I really did. It’s strong. It’s defined. It gives fear somewhere to go. It’s a battle cry, a shield, a mid...

When Life Stops You in Your Tracks

I wish I could tell you this blog starts with a brave, inspirational moment.
But the truth is, it starts with me being absolutely exhausted.

The kind of tired that sleep does not fix.

You’re overwhelmed, but you keep pushing.
You’re “fine” because stopping feels worse than continuing.

I know this space well. Most of us do.

Burnout rarely shows up with flashing lights and a formal introduction. It sneaks in quietly. First as exha...

I remember the first time a client said to me,
“I left. Why does it feel worse now?”

They had done the brave thing. The thing everyone tells you to do.
Leave the relationship. Get out. Choose yourself.

And yet, suddenly they were drowning in court dates, emails, affidavits, delays, and fear. It fe...

Manipulation Has a Way of Sneaking In

Here’s the thing about manipulation. It rarely kicks the door down and announces itself.

It creeps in quietly. It shows up when you are tired, overwhelmed, distracted, or already dealing with something big. And before you know it, you are questioning yourself,...

Let’s be real for a second… family law isn’t just about paperwork, legal jargon, and court dates. It’s human. It’s messy. And some days, it feels like your emotions have clocked in for a full-time job.

I’ll never forget a client who once said to me, “One moment I was angry, then I was crying, and t...
