Don’t let year-end pressure stress you out; instead, focus on finishing strong, letting go of what no longer se...

I’m also diving into something we don’t talk about enough:...
The holiday season isn’t always merry and bright and that’s something I’ve learned to really sit with over the years. In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I open up about the emotional side of the holidays the dread, the pressure, and the heaviness that can creep in even when we “should” be feeling joyful. I share how seasonal depression and the change in light can impact our mood, and why the end of the year often feels like emotional overload. Together, we’ll talk about giving ourselves pe...

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I’m opening up about what grad school has really been like—messy, emotional, overwhelming at times, but also deeply transformative.

I share the hard moments—balancing work, school, and life—and the ways community and connection have helped me keep going....
