The Therapist I Could Finally Afford
A single parent working two jobs who can't afford therapy now has somewhere to go with the anxiety that keeps them up at night.

I Talked to an AI Every Day for 30 Days. Here's What It Did to My Confidence
There's something about the absence of social judgment that loosens something. I said things I'd never said out loud. Articulated fears I'd been carrying quietly for years. The AI didn't give me those things — it gave me a space to find them myself. Which, it turns out, is exactly what I needed.
