Glimpses of @seenycofficial Interesting people. Thoughtful conversations about education, resilience and AI. Beautiful city. Thank you @nyckidsrise for the experience of letting this New Yorker see my city through a new lens.

About 8 months ago, my grandmother—who’s almost 90, can barely remember what day it is—looked at me and said, “you put on weight.” And somehow, that stuck. Not because it was new, but because it forced me to face a pattern: every year I invest a little into my health, and every year, when life gets overwhelming, I abandon it. Same cycle. Different year. That moment pushed me though—and if I’m being honest, I went too far, too fast. I lost 60 lbs over 6 months, but part of that came from extreme measures that put my body under serious metabolic stress. That’s not something I’m proud of, and it’s not something I’d recommend. Once I understood what was happening, I adjusted. Immediately. This wasn’t intentional harm—it was urgency mixed with years of frustration. But choosing to correct course instead of pushing through—that’s where the real discipline started. For the first time, I’m learning what discipline actually looks like. Consistency. Cooking every night. Avoiding triggers. Staying with it even when life gets loud. I also stopped drinking. That alone has impacted everything—physically, mentally, emotionally. And underneath all of this, I’ve been addressing something that’s been there for years—undiagnosed ADHD. Now I have therapy, structure, and a health regimen that actually supports me. That’s been just as important as anything physical. I’m still in it. Still rebuilding—physically and mentally. This isn’t a finish line post. It’s a checkpoint for accountability. And to anyone reading this if you need help navigating finding therapy—which is often the first barrier: navigating a shit U.S. healthcare system—I'm happy to chat about what I learned. Years of hearing "get therapy" and no one really providing resources or considering the financial barrier. That helps no one. We’re used to carrying everything in silence and showing up for everyone. But if you can’t show up for yourself, it catches up—every time. ____ #wellnessjourney #mentalhealth #adhd #fitness #weightlossjourney

AI overlords. But to be fair, it is getting my entire life together.

All of the feels, all of the time. Exhausting, yes. But also a superpower. I always felt like it made me a better designer of places, experiences and programs to be able to anticipate how people will feel and to see them feel in real-time. My usual mistake is overcompensating and making myself and my feelings take a back seat to others, but also making decisions that I feel are in their best interest. I'm not changing by the way. I'm just letting y'all know I'm human and flawed. That is all. Love this song. Happy Wednesday. -- #adhd #hyperempathy #rejectionsensitivedysphoria #rejectionsensitivitydysphoria #mentalhealth #attentiondeficithyperactivitydisorder

There is still good in the world even with all that is going on. Get over your fear of rejection. Let people be a blessing. That's my message for 2026.
