Regulation isn’t about feeling calm all the time. It’s about building the capacity to stay with your life. And for many of us in immigrant communities, that capacity was never meant to come from doing it alone. From a somatic perspective, the nervous system responds to familiarity, rhythm, s

What does it mean to belong to more than one world, but not fully feel at home in any of them? My next episode of Mosaic Identity is about the 3rd culture identity: the beauty, the grief, the confusion, and the mental health impact of living in between cultures, languages, and expectations. I

Since it is Arab American Heritage Month, this feels important to say. Arab art has never existed outside of politics. So many of our most iconic artists were shaped by exile, empire, censorship, war, and resistance. Their voices were not created in a vacuum. Their lives were part of the history to

The problem with overusing worksheets in trauma therapy is that they can pull people out of embodied processing and back into cognition too quickly. Out of feeling and into analyzing. Out of the body and back into the head. And for many immigrants, children of immigrants, and third culture clien

Soft boundaries are for Tier 1 situations. When the person is not dangerous, but they are intrusive, nosey, or emotionally too much. This is for the comments that do not deserve a whole TED Talk. Use this when: You are with a safe-ish family member who means well but does not know limits T

Parentification is so common in Arab families that many of us don’t even realize it happened. We just grew up thinking it was “normal” to be the strong one, the helper, the translator, the emotional anchor… before we were old enough to understand what any of it meant. But carrying adult respo

It does matter. Arayes are not “Israeli food.” They are Levantine: Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian and carried through generations. Our food is our memory, our survival, our story. Erasing the name erases the people. #arab #arabamerica #arabfood

For Arabs in the diaspora, this grief lives in our bones. We wake up to headlines that break us, scroll through images that haunt us, and still have to show up to work, school, and family gatherings like we’re fine. Our bodies are carrying centuries of resilience but even resilience needs rechar

Knafeh is a beloved Arab dessert with deep roots in Palestinian, Syrian, and broader Levantine traditions. The name itself comes from the Arabic root k-n-f, meaning “to encase or cradle,” a perfect description of how the dough wraps around the cheese. Watching people in Israel rebrand it as thei

Shawarma didn’t start in Israel. 🍢 I meant to say tahini = ground Sesame! It was a slip. Tag someone who loves shawarma but needs to know where it really came from. #shawarma #shawarmalovers #ShawarmaHistory #ArabFood #CulturalAppropriation
