One more thing
So, remember when I said in a previous post that everything I was afraid of has already happened? Well, I might’ve been exaggerating a bit. Turns out, I’m basically more like Steve Jobs, there’s always “one more thing.” I came to New York the way most people probably do, full of dreams and goals, plans […]
Flying with dogs from Budapest to New York
The most-asked question I face nowadays is how my two aussies, Eliott and Ellise, made it from Budapest to New York. Well… in short? Through a brutal bureaucratic nightmare.For anyone in the same boat, planning to relocate their pups to the US, I highly recommend starting that early. You’ll need the time. First off, unfortunately, when we […]
Building a circle from scratch
There’s this app where you meet 5 strangers. I went to one of these events the other night, it was an interesting experience. It’s important for me to be able to generate genuine curiosity about people, even if they’re not my patients, because unfortunately i had troubles with that for a long time. People come […]
The biggest redflag ever: It’s just a dog
Some people asked me why I spent so much money just to bring my dog with me when I moved to New York from Budapest. As if he were just a dog. As if their life and our bond could be measured in money. I could have left without them, I could have made things easier […]
OMG, there are two of them
OH my God, there are TWO of them. Back in Hungary I often walk my dogs separately, not only because I know they need their one-on-one time with me, but also because I don’t want the little one picking up Eliott’s belief that the world is a terrifying, dangerous place where every other dogs must […]
Out of fear
Many people regret the things they didn’t do because they were too scared. But me? I’m the complete opposite. The more scared I am of something, the more I feel like I have to do it. It gets me to some pretty dumb situations. I rarely regret not doing something; instead, I regret the things […]
Let’s talk about sunsets and sunrise and city lights and coffee cups left half full
As a therapist, I have the privilege of engaging in truly honest, meaningful, and deep connections through words in my conversations with my patients. I experience a similar kind of deep, genuine, though purely imagined connection with my readers through the pages of my books. Through my words, I reach out, hoping we all feel […]
The void between the once was and the yet to come
I feel like I’m floating between two lives, no longer part of the old, but not quite in the new yet. It’s a strange, uncertain place, where nothing and nobody feels solid or safe. But then there’s them, my two rocks, my two dogs, arrived after me just yesterday. They don’t ask for explanations or […]
What it means to be “women owned” to a hungarian
There is a small country in the heart of Europe. If you visit, it will surely take your breath away with its beauty. You can lose yourself in the bustling capital or hide away in the nearby dense forests, swim in the most beautiful natural lakes you have ever seen. The people are kind, helpful, […]
Everything I was afraid of, already happened
You know, I’ve been thinking about how much time I waste stressing over stuff that, honestly, doesn’t even matter. Like, I can lose sleep worrying about what my advisor will think if I say no to a peer review. Or whether a friend will be upset if I can’t celebrate with them. Or if my […]
