Hello, beautiful beings made of stardust! This month, similarly to last month, I would like to write about flags, this time the red ones. I believe we have all been in this place, where we ignored little signs that something was not quite right but couldn’t really put our finger on it. Am I right?

It is hard to recognize red flags when we are right in the middle of it, full of pleasant hormones and tummy butterflies, but hopefully, by shining light on some of these red flags, it will be easier to identify them:

This month I would like to write a little bit about green flags in a relationship. While there is an abundance of information around red flags, I feel it is relevant to recognize the green ones as well. Green flags are positive signals that you are in a supportive, healthy relationship, and if you are nodding along to these, you are probably in one.

I want to talk to you about generational trauma. Although it is not a light subject, it is a very relevant and frequently misunderstood one. “Trauma” literally means wound, shock, or injury, and psychological trauma could be defined as the experience of emotional distress resulting from an event that overwhelms the capacity to emotionally process it.

I could not let June slide by without writing about Pride. While June is a month when colourful parades and rainbows pop everywhere, Pride is so much more than that. It is about celebrating who we are as humans, with all the differences inherited from our condition; it is a celebration of identity, an act of self-love, and community. It should also prompt us to reflect on the journey of self-discovery and on the challenges that many members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community encounter throughout their lives.

Gratitude is like sunshine for the soul. It shifts our focus from what’s lacking to what we have. Here’s how you can incorporate gratitude into your daily life: Gratitude Journal: Set aside a few minutes each day to jot down three things you’re grateful for. They can be simple—a warm cup of tea, a kind word from a friend, or the sound of rain on your window.
