Here’s something many women don’t hear enough: you don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy can be a safe place to set down the bags you’ve been holding for too long.  You're not broken, so it's not about fixing

As a woman of color, partner, mother, therapist, and a woman who wears many hats, I get it. You carry a lot. And even when you do rest, there’s often that whisper of guilt: You should be doing something. Let’s rewrite that narrative together.

Most look at therapy as something “other people” do. Maybe even something that feels out of reach, unnecessary, or only for moments of crisis. But the truth is that therapy is for everyone. For those who carry generations of responsibility, pressure, and pain. For those who look like they have it all together but silently feel like something’s falling apart. Therapy is for anyone tired of being strong all the time.

Rest is such a forbidden act for women that are always on the grind. It's time for us to take a moment and change the way we think of rest.

Sometimes we mask our feelings and don't even realize it. We may be discouraged from showing our true selves due to the feedback we receive.
