What I know

We all want to feel different, unique. We all want to know there’s something special in us, and we all want that specialness (if I may make up a word for a second) to be recognized and validated. In that way, we are all the same.

The important relationships in our lives are what allow us to feel special. They let us know we’re alive, that we’re just as real as the next guy. And that’s why I write this blog: to create, nurture and  repair these relationships we depend on.

No matter who you are, no matter where you are, you need love, acceptance and validation.  That’s just how we’re wired. Don’t fight it.

About Me

Nadirah Angail is a Kansas City native that has been writing for as long as she can remember. Though she graduated from the University of Missouri- Columbia with a bachelor’s degree in Communications and Drexel University with a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, she always kept writing close to her heart and wrote in her spare time.

In 2006, she began working as a therapist with a wide variety of families and couple who suffered from issues ranging from depression and drug addiction to infidelity and marital discord. Her clients have taught her that, though everyone presents differently, we all want understanding and validation.

As she worked and learned, she incorporated much of what she learned into her writing, hoping to spread invaluable information to her readers. Encouraged by  her many blog readers, she published her first book in 2010 entitled On All the Things That Make Me Beautiful: Short Inspirational Essays on Life, Love & Self. In 2011, she took a different approach and published a novel entitled What We Learned Along the Way.

Regardless of if she’s in the office with clients, writing blog posts or writing books, her goal remains unchanged: to help other have a healthy image of self and a healthy approach to the important relationships in their lives.
