Shai joins our host tomorrow on The AboutHer Show for a conversation about healing, self-worth, and the patterns we carry without noticing.

She is a therapist, author, and emotionologist, and she brings both expertise and lived experience to the room. She talks about the difference between moving on and moving forward, why butterflies in your stomach can be a red flag, and why the question to ask a partner today is not whether you want to marry them, but whether you’d never want to divorce them.

She also opens up about her book, Love That Was Meant For Me, and the six heartbreaks that shaped it.

Honest, warm, and quietly unsettling in the best way.

🎙️ New episode drops tomorrow at 10 AM.

Shai is a therapist, author, and self-described emotionologist who has spent years helping people process what they’ve been through, not just push past it.

In this conversation with our host, she draws a line many of us blur. Moving on is not the same as moving forward. One pretends the pain is gone. The other learns to live well alongside it.

Her book, Love That Was Meant For Me, comes from that same place: her own heartbreaks, her own unlearning, and the patterns she had to let be.

Full episode drops this Thursday.

Not every struggle is visible, and not every feeling is easy to put into words. Sometimes, a little reflection can help us see things differently and understand ourselves better. 💛

Through thoughts on life and happiness, reflections on the questions we carry, and insights into self-worth and relationships, these three books offer different perspectives on the experiences that shape us.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s make mental well-being a conversation we continue beyond just one day.

Every therapist needs a space to process too.

In my conversation with Shalini Chuganee, we spoke about the often-unseen side of therapy, vicarious trauma, emotional load, and the importance of having your own way to release it.

For Shalini, that comes through mindfulness, meditation, spirituality and reflection.

Because holding space for others also means knowing how to hold space for yourself.

Some books you read.
Some books feel like they were written for you.🥺📖

Love That Was Meant For Me by Shai C. broke me, healed me, and made me question every “Why don’t they love me the way I love them?”

If you’re healing or learning to choose yourself again, read this.🤍

Comment “BOOK” and I’ll send you the link.
