World Mental Health Day

October 10th was World Mental Health day. Last night I saw an old post in my social media memories that I had made on October 10th several years ago.

Why Do You Attract Emotionally Unavailable Partners?

I came across a video earlier and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It was someone sharing something that they learned about themselves on their healing journey. It got me reflecting a lot about myself, and I realized that I could relate to that message. If you consistently attract peopleContinue reading “Why Do You Attract Emotionally Unavailable Partners?”
