I love Costa Rica

This TikTok madness and spectacle of an inauguration beg the age-old question - why would anyone be pro more government? Are we not mortified yet?

TikTok is already back up 🤣🤣🤣 what a waste of influencer tears

Adopting a psychoanalytic perspective fosters deeper compassion and connection. Understanding that thoughts and behaviors are largely shaped by subconscious conditioning makes it easier to approach relationships—with yourself and others—with objectivity and empathy. I’m grateful to have chosen the path as a lifelong learner in psychoanalysis. The more I learn, the better I can show up as a friend, partner, sister, daughter, and eventual parent.

I would never claim to know much about rap music but Kendrick’s lyrics universally hit. Modern day philosopher

What bothers me about academic and corporate D&I is that it focuses so heavily on political correctness and program pushing that it ignores the lived experiences of the people it claims to “empower”. A few quick examples from my professional experiences: Before breathwork and therapy, I worked in HR at IBM (wild in itself). I spent my first year as a D&I Strategy Partner focused on “career accelerator programs” for women and under-represented minorities. I then moved to the “non-inclusive behavior investigations team”, where I investigated employee-raised harassment concerns. Despite clear evidence, it was almost impossible to substantiate anything. Especially sexual harassment concerns. Interesting response from a company that claims to be so passionate about the advancement of women in the workplace. Last weekend I had a three-day orientation for the MSW program at Michigan. We spent a LOT of time talking about pronouns, and exactly no time discussing the experiential realities of lgbt people. Considering the room was full of training psychotherapists, wouldn’t the latter be helpful for us to learn? For an agenda so obsessed with accountability, there sure does seem to be a lack of it.

Am I the only one who didn’t know that the Stanford prison experiment was a complete scam? Looking back, it was referenced constantly in my social psych lectured in undergrad. Now I understand that it’s only so well-known because Zambardo was manipulating the scientific community and media to make money & gain power. Shocking! Important reminder to be critical of “science” until it can be proven as _science_ And highly recommend you watch the doc on Hulu if this is new info to you too.
