Top 10 Therapy Lessons That Changed My Life: Exercises, Psychology Insights and Personal Takeaways

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY EPISODE! This week we’re getting real, raw, and a little reflective. It’s my birthday — and instead of just blowing out candles, I’m blowing open the door on my therapy journey. Over the past year, I’ve unpacked some deep truths about self-worth, people-pleasing, attachment styles, emotional boundaries, and how trauma can quietly shape our choices. In this special episode, I’m sharing the 10 biggest life lessons I’ve learned in therapy — and how each one changed the way I show up in relationships, friendships, work, and most importantly... with myself. Whether you're new to therapy or knee-deep in your own healing, these insights are universal, powerful, and painfully relatable. Expect some hard truths, personal stories, science-backed insights, and journaling prompts that might just change the way you move through the world. If you’ve ever asked: Why do I put everyone else’s needs first? Why do I keep attracting the same kind of relationships? How do I start trusting myself again? This episode is for you. 🎈 Happy birthday to me — let’s celebrate with truth bombs, breakthroughs, and some real self-love. Watch this episode on YouTube HERE! Send me a text!
