Some news deserves to be shared with joy, and this is one of those moments

I’m deeply honored that my therapist and dear friend Agnieszka “Agnes” Rdesinska and her better half, Robert Nagelmaker, have trusted me to announce this beautiful news.

The couple is expecting their first child, a baby girl, this September.

Over the last few years, Agnes has helped guide me through the darkest chapter of my life. One that saw me diagnosed with cancer, fighting heart disease, heartbreak, fear, grief, emotional healing all at the same time. While teaching me how to love again.

She’s been there to remind me that vulnerability is not weakness. And that surviving isn’t the same thing as living.

That’s why hearing this news felt so meaningful to me.

Both Agnes and Robert deserve this happiness. Anyone who has spent time around her understands the kind of person she is. She brings compassion, patience, empathy, and humanity into conversations in a way that makes people feel safe, heard, and understood.

She has spent years helping others navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, stress, and emotional struggles. While continuing to show up with kindness and care.

A New Chapter for Agnes and Robert

Now the proud soon to be parents are beginning a brand-new chapter of life.

Not only as a therapist helping people heal emotionally. But as a mother and father preparing to welcome their daughter into the world this Fall.

September will mark the beginning of their daughter’s story. Long before she takes her first breath, she’s already deeply loved. Not only by her parents but by those that call Agnes and Robert their friends.

Growing up with her mother’s kindness, intelligence and warmth, She is going to leave a positive mark on this world. I’m sure of it.

Congratulations

So, from my heart to theirs, congratulations Agnes, Robert, and their soon-to-be baby girl.

The world is already brighter knowing you’re on your way.
