“Brooklyn Love Nancy” — with a little heart. 🤍

That’s how Devon Rodriguez signed my copy of *Work in Progress* at his Coral Gables book signing. He also signed a copy for my grandson.

We laughed about the part of his story where, after missing the Bronx audition, he tried to attend the audition for Brooklyn and Manhattan students.

“I could pass for Brooklyn, not Manhattan?” he asked.

“I’m from Brooklyn—you definitely can,” I replied.

Swipe for our photo and a glimpse of that moment. →

His story touched something deeper in me.

I grew up with abuse, abandonment, and emotional neglect. Those experiences shaped how I saw myself, what I believed I deserved, and how I gave and received love.

I’ve been reflecting on my mothers—my biological mother and the women who helped raise me. Each had something to give. Each carried pain. I can acknowledge what they offered while honoring what I needed and did not receive.

Their pain mattered. Mine did, too.

As a therapist working with complex trauma, I bring professional knowledge and lived experience. I am still learning, still growing, still a work in progress.

Through Pivotal Clarity Wellness Care, Inc., I’m launching : a campaign about recognizing harmful patterns, seeking support, and choosing the care we want to carry forward.

This is a commitment, not a demand for perfection. We don’t have to do it alone.

Your story belongs to you. You choose when, where, and with whom to share it. And you are allowed to pursue your dreams while healing is still unfolding.

Thank you, Devon, for sharing your story—and for the Brooklyn love.

What is one pattern you want to change, and one kind of care you want to carry forward? Reflect privately or share only what feels comfortable.

Therapists and mental health professionals: **Are we prepared for the evolution of trauma treatment?**

I’ve had the privilege of contracting with a research facility in Orlando, where I’ve received specialized training and gained firsthand experience within a clinical research setting. This experience has reinforced something I believe is increasingly important for our profession: **as the landscape of trauma treatment evolves, we as mental health professionals have preparation of our own to do.**

That means staying informed, following the research, pursuing appropriate education and training, and considering how our roles may evolve as new and emerging approaches to trauma treatment continue to be studied.

For me, this work aligns deeply with my ongoing interest in trauma, the nervous system, and whole-person wellness. I believe we have a responsibility to remain curious, informed, and thoughtfully engaged with where the field may be headed.

I’m sharing this video because I believe it offers a worthwhile opportunity for mental health professionals to learn more and consider an important question:

**Are we preparing ourselves for what may be next in trauma treatment?**

Take a look, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you think mental health professionals need to be doing **now** to prepare for the future of trauma care?

Talking openly about our challenges requires a space that feels supportive and non-judgmental. Allowing ourselves to give voice to our internal world is a choice we get to make for ourselves. We can, and we get to.

It's Marvelous Mindful Monday! Here's a pivotal moment to consider.

✨ “Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.” — Melody Beattie

Sometimes wellness begins with asking a simple question:

What am I allowing into my inner world?

Just as nourishing food feeds the body, what we focus on, listen to, dwell on, and surround ourselves with can nourish—or deplete—our mind, body, and spirit.

Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring life’s challenges. It means making room to notice what is still good, meaningful, beautiful, and nourishing—even in the midst of what feels difficult.

A meal becomes a feast when we experience it with gratitude.

And perhaps life becomes a little richer when we learn to do the same.

🌿 Today, pause and ask yourself:
What am I feeding my inner world?
Is it nourishing me or draining me?
What is one thing I can intentionally make room for today?

Choose what nourishes your whole self. 🤍

Perspective Is Everything!

Happy Fear-Less Friday! 🌿

This quote hit home today:

"Those who get angry when you set a boundary are the ones you need to set boundaries for." — J.S. Wolfe

Learning to love more and fear less means letting go of the fear of other people's reactions. The people who truly value you will respect your limits.

Has setting a boundary ever felt scary, but ended up being the best thing you could do? Share your thoughts below! 💬

"Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them." — Steve Maraboli

When we expect life to be problem-free, every setback feels like a failure. Shifting our perspective from avoiding problems to building coping capacity changes everything.

3 ways to build your ability to deal with life's challenges:
1️⃣ Focus on what you can control — Let go of the outcomes you can't influence and anchor yourself in your choices today.

2️⃣ Practice emotional regulation — Learn to sit with uncomfortable feelings rather than rushing to suppress them.

3️⃣ Strengthen your support network — Seeking help isn't a sign of weakness; it’s an active strategy for resilience.

✨ It’s Fear-less Friday! ✨

And where does fear show up, you ask???

Sometimes — and often times — it shows up as fear of change.

We may not be happy with where we are in life, yet the thought of stepping into the unknown can feel even scarier. We know we want something different… we just don’t always know how to get there.

🌱 Personal growth can be exhilarating AND frightening.

And transformation doesn’t always begin with a giant leap. Sometimes, it begins with one small, quiet choice:

To choose YOU.

Five minutes of breathwork.
Saying “no” without guilt.
Setting a boundary.
Taking a walk.
Resting when you need to.
Finally taking that first step toward something you’ve been dreaming about.

Fear doesn’t have to disappear before you move forward.

Sometimes, you just have to move forward with the fear. 💜

So, this Fear-less Friday, ask yourself:

How are am I choosing ME this week?

✨ Small choices.
✨ Brave steps.
✨ Big transformation.

This conversation is invaluable in my experience. It’s not to invalidate our own experiences. It’s to understand the larger context of what happened.

The pain & resentments towards my biological parents & the care takers who became my bonus parents was my choice to forgive when I was able to see them through the eyes of compassion. They gave me what they could give me from what the had, knew & understood. As an adult it was my responsibility to sift through all of the pain & trauma so that I could learn to re-parent myself with the tender nurturance I need.

There’s no one to blame. No more shame or guilt. Instead I get to lead my life with gratitude, appreciation, acceptance, grace, wisdom, discernment & love.
