There’s been a lot of talk about the invisible load the last few years (especially through Covid when women were literally trying to do it all).

It’s natural to want to stay in our comfort zones, to hang out or work with people who think like we do, to feel like we belong.

You may a…
Our brains think they can predict the future. They’ll take one instance, generalize it into a pattern, and try to convince us that one of our fleeting thoughts or a fleeting thought that others have about us is a constant state (and rarely is it a pleasant one!).

Marriage and money. Opinions on these two topics certainly run the gamut.

We’ve heard the word trauma used liberally the past few years, both in relation to shared global events (like the pandemic) and in relation to more trivial things (like someone cutting in line at Starbucks).
