Have you ever left a conversation that seemed perfectly ordinary, only to continue it in your head for the next few hours? Why did I say that? Did that sound wrong? They paused before answering. Was something wrong? Maybe I should send another message and explain. A conversation that lasted only a few minutes can […]
It’s 9/11, the 25th anniversary, and the airwaves and social media are filled with remembrance. Of the victims. The heroes. The helpers. I sit quietly with my morning tea, sunlight gently streaming through the window, and read the stories of those who were there. It’s afternoon, and I’m entering the halls of the Québec parliament, […]
Polyamory isn’t a free-for-all. It runs on honesty, emotional intelligence, and calendars. When it works, it’s expansive, connective, and healing. When it breaks down, it’s usually because someone skipped one of these: Communicate Until It’s Boring More people = more chances for misalignment. “Good communication” doesn’t just mean talking a lot — it means being assertive (even […]
For someone struggling with gambling, stopping may seem like it should be straightforward: recognize the problem, decide to stop, and follow through. In reality, it can be much more complicated.

You find the message. Or the photo. Or the credit card charge. Maybe someone tells you. Maybe your partner admits it. Maybe you’ve suspected something for months and suddenly the proof is sitting right in front of you. Your brain immediately wants to do something. Wake them up. Call them. Go through every message. Tell […]
Finding solace and tranquility in our everyday lives is a challenge. However, amidst the concrete jungles and digital distractions, there lies a simple and effective method for enhancing mental well-being: spending time in nature. Natural spaces such as parks, gardens, forests, meadows, lakesides, riversides, and the ocean serve as sanctuaries where individuals can reconnect with nature, […]
Maybe you were dismissive. Maybe you weren’t listening. Maybe you broke a promise too. Maybe the way you brought something up really was hurtful. Own that part. Recognizing blame shifting doesn’t mean teaching yourself that nothing is ever your fault. That would simply be blame shifting in the opposite direction. The goal is to become […]
Allora ritorna quando avrai fatto queste due cose.” Sono le uniche parole che un naturopata mi disse, il giorno in cui gli chiesi come dormire meglio.
