I started a podcast about Alzheimer's - the things they forget to tell you- My mother was diagnosed at the age of 57- and I had a child of my own, I immediately became part of the sandwich generation. I talk about about things that people don't want to talk about.
As time went by the Podcast evolved.
My mother passed away 20 years after being diagnosed with the disease. Two decades of my life was spent multi-tasking. In 2013, I became a single parent. I am not sure how I survived all that was thrown at me, but I did. In finding my way back to me- I discovered the importance of Self-love.

Ageless Banter: Navigating Wrinkles and Wisdom
🎙️ Exciting News! 🚀
Hey, fabulous listeners! 🌟 I'm delighted to share that my sabbatical is over, and I'm back with a brand new season of my podcast! 🎉 Since my mom's passing, I took a hiatus from podcasting, social media, and embarked on a journey of healing. It was a period of profound self-love, a rediscovery of myself, and guess what? I found my voice again! 🗣️
🌟 I'm thrilled to introduce the latest season of my podcast, where I dive into random subjects with my amazing co-star, Peter Rattan. What's unique about our banter, you ask? Well, we've cleverly coined our podcasts as "Check Engine Light" - a witty take on life as we navigate our fifties.
Peter and I go way back, all the way to being 15-year-olds, and now, as mental health professionals originally from Trinidad living in Canada, we're bringing you a dose of humour, wisdom, and everything in between. Imagine a "he said, she said" dynamic, where we discuss both serious and lighthearted topics. Trust me, when two Trini mental health enthusiasts join forces, anything goes!
So, buckle up and stay tuned. These episodes promise to be entertaining, insightful, and who knows, you might just learn a thing or two along the way. 🎧 Ready for the ride? Let's hit play! #CheckEngineLightPodcast #LifeInOurFifties #HeSaidSheSaid #RandomTalks #MentalHealthPerspectives

There is No ‘It’s Not Your Fault’ Moment – Progress Happens Gradually
Remember that great scene in “Good Will Hunting” where Robin Williams’ character hugs Will and tells him “It’s not your fault” until he breaks down and cries for the first time? After that, Will turns his life around and seems to instantly overcome his attachment disorder. The movie heavily implies he begins making use of his brilliance, stops bumming around with his friends as much and drives to California to get back together with his girlfriend.
It’s a great movie and that scene made me cry the first time I saw it. But there is no big eureka moment in therapy where you overcome your issues with one big cry. Therapy is more like a series of small breakthroughs.
I’ve had moments in therapy where I came to a huge realization and experienced a catharsis, but I didn’t immediately change my behavior and beliefs to the point where it wasn’t an issue anymore. I had to work on it outside of therapy and revisit the issue in my next session, something Will doesn’t do.
Therapy Does Not ‘Fix’ You Because You Are Not Broken
This is one of the areas where therapy and medical treatment vastly differ. With medical treatment, the best outcome is a cure where you eradicate the illness and ensure it doesn’t return. In therapy, this isn’t possible because mental illnesses, negative beliefs and maladaptive behaviors are not diseases.
“Therapy helps clients uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow them to deal with the challenges that arise in life,” counselor “A successful therapy experience does not mean a client is cured, it means the person has the inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life.”
