Balancing Tradition and Individualism: Insights from Italian-Canadian Life
The Dual Life of a Second-Generation Italian in Canada Being born to Italian parents in Canada often means you’re raised in a permanent state of cultural multitasking. You’re not just balancing two worlds; you’re translating them for each other. One moment you’re navigating a household where Sunday lunches last four hours and everyone talks over each other like it’s a competitive sport; the next, you’re stepping into a Canadian environment where boundaries are clearer, voices are softer, and “drop by anytime” is not an actual invitation.

Miss each other
There are days when your name moves through me like a wind that never learned how to stop, a current that finds every hollow inside my chest and turns it into an echo chamber. I don’t call for you, yet you arrive—uninvited, unannounced—like a shadow that’s memorized the shape of my steps. I no longer know whether what I feel is remembrance or habit, longing or inertia; all I know is that it hurts in ways I cannot name without breaking something inside myself.

I Live With Telephone Phobia Every Day!
Warning: Contains some distressing themes. I never used to have a problem using the telephone. When I was in my teens, there was nothing I enjoyed more than the dramatic ring of our bright red Bakelite. To me, it was a very welcoming and social sound.

Living With ADHD (Part 1)
The diagnosis came when I was 32. It was November, autumn had taken over: the leaves had turned yellow, the summer sun had given way to gray skies, the cold enveloped everything, including me. I had been feeling cold for a long time: I felt that inside me there was a piece of a puzzle that never quite fit with the others. I was one, but only half. Perhaps I was broken.

When Faith and Feelings Collide: Christian Counselling, Doubt, Anxiety, and Inner Conflict
For many people of faith, emotional struggle does not arrive neatly packaged or easy to explain. Anxiety may surface during prayer. Doubt may appear alongside deep belief. Inner conflict may sit quietly beneath outward strength. These experiences are common, yet they are rarely spoken about openly, particularly within Christian spaces where resilience and trust are often emphasized. Christian Counselling sits in the space between belief and emotional reality, offering room for both faith and feeling to exist side by side without judgement.

This Show Makes You Suspicious on Purpose
At first, it feels harmless. You sit down to watch His & Hers the way you sit down to watch any thriller. Lights dimmed. Phone face-down. A body on screen. A mystery to solve. Two people telling the same story in different voices. You tell yourself this is entertainment. Suspense. Craft.

This week, Barbie announced the release of a new autistic Barbie doll, aiming to increase visibility and acceptance for autistic individuals. While the intention is commendable, it raises important questions about whether symbolic gestures like this truly address the needs of autistic people.

Counselling in Perth and the Quiet Work of Rebuilding Self-Trust
When we think about emotional wellbeing, often the first images that come to mind are big breakthroughs, life-changing moments or dramatic “aha” experiences. But for many people, the process of rebuilding confidence and self-trust doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. It unfolds slowly, quietly and often behind the scenes of everyday life. In Perth, like in other parts of Australia, conversations about emotional health are becoming more commonplace, and counselling in Perth is one pathway many explore not as a quick fix, but as a space for reflection and reconnection.
