These days, screens are a huge part of our everyday lives. From catching up on emails to scrolling through social media, it’s easy to end up spending way more time on our devices than we might even realize. And while tech is convenient, that constant screen time can start to take a toll—it can mess […]
Many of us readily offer compassion and patience to our friends or family members in tough times. However, when negative thoughts are directed at ourselves, that same kindness often fades, leaving us with harsh self-criticism instead. Practicing self-compassion means treating ourselves with the same empathy and support we’d naturally give others. Embracing this approach can […]
Stress and anxiety, no matter the level, can be challenging to manage. For relief, try incorporating exercise into your routine—small bursts of activity can significantly ease tension and boost mood. Anxiety impacts both mind and body, and exercise acts as a natural mood enhancer while supporting physical health. You don’t need a gym to get […]
Friendships are some of the most meaningful connections we have, but not all friendships are meant to last forever. Is it time to end a friendship?

Friendships are essential in shaping our lives. They provide comfort, support, and joy, particularly when navigating personal challenges. However, even the strongest friendships can benefit from boundaries. Boundaries help maintain respect, foster trust, and protect individual well-being. Recognizing when it’s time to establish these boundaries can be difficult, especially when emotions are involved. If you […]
Accountability is a fundamental pillar of a healthy, thriving relationship. Being accountable in a partnership means owning your actions, words, and choices without shifting blame or making excuses. It’s about showing up with honesty and integrity and taking responsibility for how you contribute to the relationship, both positively and negatively. But the hard truth is […]
Desire discrepancy—when one partner has a higher or lower sex drive than the other—is a common issue in relationships.
