Challenges are opportunities in disguise
As n’betweeners we can place so much pressure on ourselves, and how we perceive our lives should be, and look for our failures.
When a challenge arises, it can feel like a set down. It might actually be an opportunity in disguise.
Why does this challenge need to happen the way it did?
When you suppress that inner whisper
You’re not giving yourself permission to listen, and go for what you want. Why? Cause you’ve learned to feel undeserving of it.
You DO know what you want. Your gut is telling you loud and clear, but you’re probably doing the following painful thing.
The danger of minimizing yourself
When we stop recognizing our growth, our inner critic takes over.
👉 “I’m not making any progress,” “I’m still stuck at the same job,” “I don’t know what I’m doing.”
Let me say this loud and clear: This is *not* true. In reality, you're not allowing yourself to see the full picture of all of that's happening in your life.
This is to the crazy one, the misfit 💌
Do you sometimes feel like “the crazy one”?
Belonging is actually the opposite of fitting in.
You don’t make a difference fitting in. You do STANDING out. That’s where the magic happens ✨
That tender intimate moment…
We navigate many complexities, so we struggle sometimes knowing ourselves genuinely.
Unlike what pop culture says, "finding the authentic you" is not a one-stop shop — it's a journey.
The greatest gift we can give to ourselves is looking to come closer to ourselves.
The BEST playground on Earth 🌏
We don’t have to leave our imagination and playtime behind in childhood.
In fact, the more we feel the pressure to conform to a societal script, the more we can instead lean in to fun and play.
If you’re looking for a place to really be all of yourself — experiment and express all the bold, quirky parts of yourself — then read on to find out where I and other n’betweeners feel at home and have a chance to join us!

How to *finally* remove the masks that hold you back
You want to be seen - deeply seen - yet most likely, you're hiding behind masks.
Every morning, we put on a new disguise, a new mask, a new way to hide our precious, beautiful self.
Masking is having to hide a part of ourselves in order to (falsely) belong 🫣
In a world where we’re constantly encouraged to share and broadcast our lives, the irony is that many of us still struggle with the profound fear of being truly seen.
Here’s how we can take the next step in taking off our masks.
My limitation as a therapist 😳
Now let me be real for a second.
As a therapist, I do my best to hold a space of support and guidance for my clients.
But here is the thing, there is a limitation to my role...
Read on to learn what’s missing in a therapeutic setting and how you can find that missing piece.
This is where your worlds meet 🌍
In order to belong, we get rid of other parts of ourselves.
We split into dismembered parts 💔
You’re tired of splitting yourself. You want to experience all parts of you and tap into your unrealized potential.
Be held in the unknown
The perception of threat degrades our ability to deeply listen to ourselves and what matters to us.
We get stuck and let go of our dreams out of fear of worst-case situations.
So what happens when you face a change in your life? How do you deal with this?
Would YOU do it? 😮
Here is what people share: “I’d lose my culture," "I LOVE my sensitivity,” "I wouldn't be as resilient."
The very thing that hurts you can also be the very thing that is your superpower.
Yes, n’betweeners are gifted with increased power.
This is your self-made prison 😓
The chase of “goodness” is painfully exhausting. You won’t get to “Heaven” faster, bur rather create a self-made prison.
In reality there is no such thing as being “good.” It’s an idea you’re sold.
Here’s why you should choose being “congruent” over being “correct.”
When you oppress your own people
Here is a definition of horizontal hostility:
Horizontal hostility happens when we project our internalized unworthiness onto other groups that we have come to learn also as unworthy.
Basically, we bully. We put each other down within marginalized groups.
Here’s why we need to move from hostility to possibility.
Here is a sign of poor boundaries 🚩
Think about it for a moment.
How many times have you said "suuuuuure" when you meant "nope?"
And how did it feel afterwards?... (like 💩)
Learn why that is a sign of poor boundaries, and how you can change your approach.
The real problem with crying
Everything passes - that includes your sadness and tears.
The real problem about crying is our resistance to it.
You actually further hurt yourself when you search for "a valid reason" to cry.
Here’s why . . .
Your MOST valuable asset 👇
Living in a system that focuses on hyper-individualism inevitably leads to loneliness.
Hyper-individualizing is a painful habit we need to break out of.
Here’s how you can break free.
My most embarrassing session as a therapist
“Can you SEE me?” I asked my client.
“I mostly see your face”, he said.
It started out like a disco night. The lights constantly shifting in and out.
It felt embarrassing to say the least. Just utterly unprofessional and unacceptable. I thought to myself “Just cancel Nora,” it’s not worth it.
But something in me believed that there was a way… maybe being a stubborn Capricorn.
Today is a bloody ritual 🩸💔
As women and people with uteruses we have the honor and pain to be in contact with our cycle every month - our menstrual cycle.
Unfortunately, we sometimes want to dismiss our cycles, pretend they don’t exist.
Here’s why we should slow down and pay attention.
Is intolerance an issue?
I’d love to hear what you think of this:
What does tolerance mean to you?
Does it mean to put up with, to make space or to accept differences?
