It’s the third time this week that you have gotten into a fight with your partner. You’re feeling upset and misunderstood. Is this even the person for you? What if you are with the wrong person? Or what if…even worse..YOU’RE the problem? Your boyfriend from the 5th grade used to say the same stuff about you, after all. And your sister is always yelling at you about how self-centered you are. Maybe you’ll just grab those girl scout cookies in the freezer and spend yet another night Netflix binging “Emily in Paris” ALONE.

You’ve spent most of your life caring for others—anticipating their needs, keeping the peace, and doing what’s expected. But lately, that role feels suffocating and you want to start choosing yourself. But guilt, fear of rejection, and a deep sense of obligation make it hard to even know what you want. If you have have been struggling with boundaries; people pleasing; cultural/family expectations; intergenerational trauma; self-advocacy and finding your voice; anxiety, identity confusion, and burnout; and navigating marginalized identities in dominant spaces, you're not alone. This space is for you.
