About Me

Hi, I’m Mahshid. I am a mom, a wife, a Marriage and Family Therapist, and a faculty member at Somatic Experiencing International.  I’m also a dog lover, a curious cook, an avid traveler, and a lifelong learner.

I started this blog to share some of my family’s rich traditions—and to create space for exploring the beauty of other cultures and ways of life. I believe the world is smaller than we think, and that at our core, we are more alike than we realize.

I’m deeply inspired by the resilience of the human spirit, and I’m drawn to stories of courage, healing, and connection. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d truly love to hear from you.
