Maybe the most vulnerable word..

Maybe the most vulnerable word..

Every day you use these words.

Multiple times a day. Maybe in passing. Maybe without noticing. Simple words, yet, when actually felt, they hold profound depth.

Can you guess what they are?

I wish I had her life 😔

When we compare ourselves to others, we minimize our worth.

Yet, it’s something we n’betweeners do all the time.

Join me for a fun game to stop comparing and start embracing the both and!

When you get rid of a part of yourself..😮‍💨

Feeling split?

Split n’between religions? Cultures? Languages? Genders? Races?

It’s like one part of us cannot coexist with the other. A societal conflict placed upon us.

But leaving parts of ourselves behind harms us. Here’s how.

Don’t give up on your community 💔

n’betweeners give up on their dreams.

We let go of what matters to us most.

We lack an understanding of the ways we hide, make ourselves small and give up on ourselves.

I'm here to create language of understanding for n’betweeners.

So I'm writing something special for us . . .

Brownies + my 14-year-old sister = Me becoming a therapist 😮

Brownies + my 14-year-old sister = Me becoming a therapist 😮

Ten years ago, I raised enough money to get me through my first semester of graduate school, to become a psychotherapist.

But you know WHO actually inspired me? My younger sister. Salma 💗

She saw that I had a dream and she believed in me.

She baked CAKES (brownies specifically), which she then sold to support my dream!

What a tremendous gift this was. To have my younger sister believe in me.

So I thought if my sister can raise money among our neighbors, I sure can do the same.

I’m writing a BOOK!👇

This book is written for YOU.

It’s here to bring language on what it means to be an n’betweener.

Why? Because language shapes perception, and finding accurate words and concepts that describe your experience provides a deep understanding of yourself. 

Will you help me get it out? 🎉

I got married...(!)

Ok, so we’ve been together for a decade…

We met back in August 2013. We’d seen each other a few other times, but only briefly.

I didn’t think much of her honestly. She seemed “nice.” 

I thought she was kind of young, not very worldly, didn’t know where to place anything on a map, and always wanted things to be convenient.

Can you guess who she is?

Do you keep pathologizing yourself?
Nora Alwah Nora Alwah

Do you keep pathologizing yourself?

Do you stigmatize yourself on a daily basis? Saying things like:

“I’m too emotional.”

“I have bad anxiety.”

“I shouldn’t be crying.”

Basically do you make your dysregulation bad?

Let’s talk about how to normalize all emotional states and hold their complexity, cause it’s May and that means that it’s Mental Health Month!

Chasing fantasy?
Nora Alwah Nora Alwah

Chasing fantasy?

Take a look at your life.

Where are you succeeding right now?

Where are you struggling? Where are you “failing?”

I’m asking this to normalize whatever is happening in your life right now.

Cause let’s make something clear once and for all:

The idea that we can do it all is a myth. Ready for the truth?

A humbling insight...

I have a quick, fun question for you.

Can you guess one of my top hobbies?

For you it might be listening to music, cooking a delicious meal, or maybe watching a movie.

Mine is kind of odd.

Hint: It allows my n’betweener brain to expand and switch between many perspectives and experiences!

Ready to hear it?

Don't cross this off your to-do list

Pain and sadness are something you can cross off your list of things to do!

Think about the ways you put pressure on yourself on how you should be feeling. Our emotional well-being is not a to-do list.

You're devaluing yourself
Nora Alwah Nora Alwah

You're devaluing yourself

Here is a mistake we make as n’betweeners:

👉 We place a lot of energy on being gooooood.

However, when we get determined to be perceived as “good,” we overextend our energy, our resources, and our time, and we overspend our money.

Time to save that energy - no more overspending…
