Because connection isn't built in grand gestures—it's built in the daily moments you choose each other. Do you ever feel like the small things in your relationship—the shared laughter, the kind words, the gentle touches—have been swallowed up by the busyness of life? Maybe you’ve fallen into a rhythm where your relationship feels more like tag-teaming responsibilities than enjoying each other’s company. You pass each other in the hallway, manage the kids, talk logistics, and

If you grew up in a family where tradition and togetherness are woven into your identity—where Sunday dinners aren’t just meals, they’re obligations, where birthdays are community events, and where you’re taught from a young age that “la familia siempre viene primero”—then you know just how complicated self-care can feel. There’s a deep love in these traditions. A sense of pride. A connection to your roots that feels sacred. But what happens when those same traditions begin t

Midlife isn’t just a chapter. For many women, it’s a reckoning. The kids are older—or gone. Your parents may suddenly need more care. Your body is shifting in ways you weren’t warned about, and your relationships—both with others and with yourself—feel different. The roles you once relied on to define you no longer fit as neatly as they used to. It can feel like standing in the middle of a storm: the winds of change pulling in every direction, while you’re simply trying to st

Do you ever feel like your relationship has taken a back seat to everything else in your life? Between work deadlines, school pickups, bills, and endless to-do lists, it’s easy for time with your partner to quietly slip to the bottom of the priorities. Maybe you’ve told yourself: “We’ll make time for each other when things calm down.”  But here’s the truth—life rarely slows down on its own. If you’re waiting for the perfect time to focus on your relationship, you may be waiti

There are few wounds as deep as the feeling of being unwanted. Quizá alguien no lo dijo con palabras, pero lo mostró con acciones. Maybe it was a parent who left. A partner who made you feel replaceable. A friend group that never really saw you. That kind of pain doesn’t just leave. It echoes. It echoes in the way you question your worth. It echoes in the fear that you are “too much” or “not enough.” It echoes every time you overgive, perform, or silence yourself, hoping—just

When we think of grief, we often think of death. But grief also lives in the losses that aren’t always recognized or spoken aloud. The loss of home. The loss of language. The loss of rhythm, routine, and a sense of belonging. For immigrants and their families, this quiet pain has a name: el duelo migratorio —the grief of migration. It is the sorrow that comes from everything that had to be left behind. It doesn’t consistently get named. But it is deeply felt. And in psychosoc

“You’re so strong.” Maybe you’ve heard those words all your life. Maybe you’ve worn them like a badge of honor. And maybe they’re true. You’ve survived things most people could never imagine. You’ve carried responsibilities that would break others. You’ve been the one everyone leaned on—family, friends, coworkers—even while your own heart was aching. But here’s the truth: strength is not the same as healing. Aguantar no es lo mismo que sanar. The Trap of Resilience In many BI
