Many people don't learn emotional intelligence K through 12. Year-by-year gaps in psychology and mental health often grow because there's no structured format to take someone from where they're at to where they need to be. They didn't inherit the psychological privilege of having emotionally intelligent parents.

All too often, when we see people on the outside we don't know their life story. We're meeting them at this present chapter in their life. So much of adulthood calls for people to be a well put together, fully responsible adult, to keep their private lives to themselves out of courtesy, professionalism, personal responsibility, and self protection.

If we really knew what was going on for people, we might collectively have that heartfelt tug “Oooh, I feel that. That’s very difficult to go through.” And struggle to hold back the tears. Pain is universal, yet also carefully curated for consumption and kept under wraps.
The years are passing, yet improving their mental health doesn't happen passively over time. The gap in mental health isn’t accidental, it’s intentional, and it echos back the collective gaps in current systems where people are 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, and still unavailable to understand why love doesn’t work out.

Many adults are left to fend for themselves and are quietly carrying pain with no structure, no skills, no insights. As a result, they spend so much of their time in loops of emotional self sabotage.

My heart led mission is to help people not suffer alone, trying to figure out how to make sense of painful realities that just seem random, unfair, inexplicable. With insights, iterations, and improvements all emotional intelligence skills can be integrated into the identity. Because the world becomes a better place when we feel more whole, connected, cared for, and loved. People deserve profound healing, one secure shift at a time.
