The Relationship Couch
Family dynamics can be challenging to identify at first, and then to change. So often, we get caught up in the way we’ve always seen things done. We end up repeating the patterns and often can’t see when they’re unhealthy. Yet, as we heal, we begin to identify negative patterns. When we choose to heal …

This is rooted in the belief that sexual energy is a powerful force that transcends beyond the physical realm and taps into the cosmic …
Sacred geometry is the study of geometric shapes and patterns that are believed to have spiritual significance. When it comes to relationships, sacred geometry can be used to understand underlying patterns and dynamics that shape our interactions with others. One of the most fundamental shapes in sacred geometry is the circle. In relationships, the circle …
During a discussion with my mother this morning, we discussed how interesting it is that I’m usually the youngest person in a group. Often, I’m found spending time with elders. This has been the case since I was a little girl. I used to sit with the elders on my block and listen to their …

We all know the saying it takes a village to raise children, and while that used to be exactly how it was, times have changed quite tremendously. Parents are on hyper-alert because there are predators preying on their children and feel resistant to the interference of the community. On the other hand, the community isn’t …
There are few places I’ve been to as tranquil as Taino Woods. While only 2 hours outside of bustling New York City, the energy of the land feels much farther removed. The owners, Chantel and Jesse Rivera create a spiritual experience for each guest that stems from their indigenous Taino culture. In the mornings, the …
“Mommy, play with me”… That’s what my little one says every day. It doesn’t matter if I just spent the last hour playing with him. For him, it’s not enough. I feel terrible telling him I can’t play with him because I need to work. The look of disappointment registers clearly on his face and …
Monkeypox was first identified in 1958 in Zaire, Africa, which is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. This virus was recorded to have started among captive primates.

Difficult co-parenting relationships refer to two parents who have very different parenting styles or just can’t seem to get on the same page when it comes to the children.

Pulse oximeters are causing discrepancies among Black and Hispanic patients and contributing to significant delays in COVID-19 and other respiratory therapies. Medical professionals rely greatly on the Pulse Oximeter readings. This influences the decisions medical professionals make in addressing respiratory challenges in patients.

I woke up to the news that in a rare sidestep of tradition, the Supreme Court is looking to overturn the historic Roe v. Wade decision that allowed Federal protection for abortion. This feels like just another step in the direction of snatching away women’s rights. This looks scarily like the agenda is to go …
When it comes to relationships and intimacy, our greatest teachers are the examples we had growing up and the environments we were in. Most people don’t realize just as easily as we need to learn different subjects in school, we should also be reading and learning about healthy relationships. Relationships are some of the most …
She laughed and said I was detached. She spoke in general of my nature as a person. I disagreed. She wasn’t the only one that said that and felt like they had a good read of who I am. I realized they didn’t know me very well. Or at least not as well as they …
As a parent with multiple kids, I’m constantly reminded that my kids watch me grow and evolve. Each child gets a slightly different version of mommy. My prayer is that none of them feel the other got more of me than they did. As I sat and talked with my oldest today, I could see …
Cardiac disease is the #1 cause of death among women. As women, we’re notorious for overworking and pouring into everyone else, prioritizing others, and leaving ourselves for last. We’re taught to put our partner first, our children first, and even our careers first. None of those include putting ourselves first. I’m absolutely guilty of doing …

It’s nothing new. We’ve all seen it happen before. We all know someone who has lost themselves and their identity in their relationship. That someone may have even been us. It’s almost in fleeting moments where the labels become our identities and we accept that this is who we are. And while there’s nothing wrong …
Isn’t it astounding how the media can expect more consideration from your life than you’re allowed to give yourself?

With that being said, you …
