Does this sound familiar? You’ve followed the “right” path—worked hard, built a career, and checked all the boxes you thought would lead to happiness. But instead of feeling fulfilled, you feel… stuck. Even major milestones are starting to feel dull. Life has become a series of routines, and most days, you’re just getting through, scrolling […]

Have you ever reached a major milestone—landing the dream job, buying the house, or hitting a career goal—only to find yourself wondering, Is this it? It’s a jarring moment, especially when you’ve poured so much time, energy, and effort into achieving something you thought would make you happy. This hollow feeling isn’t uncommon, and there’s […]

For most of my life, I believed my worth came from how well I could disappear. I was raised in a culture where being a “good woman” meant being supportive, not central—present, but never loud. Seen, but not heard. There was no space for softness unless it served someone else. No space for questions unless […]

There was a time in my life when prayer was a ritual—something I did with great reverence, precision, and structure. I prayed over every meal, morning and night, always on my knees, often following the structure of the Lord’s Prayer. I was taught that prayer was about surrender, about never asking for too much, and […]

What Is Mirror Work? Mirror work is the practice of looking yourself in the eyes while standing in front of a mirror and speaking intentional affirmations out loud.

And most of all, it helps you reclaim power over the stories running your life. According to neuroscience, the simple act of writing your thoughts down […]

We all carry stories—silent beliefs we didn’t choose, but somehow adopted as truth. “I’m too much.”“I’m not enough.”“Other people get to live freely, but I can’t.”“I’ll feel better once I accomplish __.”“If I slow down, I’ll fall apart.” Most of these stories don’t shout. They whisper. They hide in our choices, our patterns, our resistance. […]

Here’s What Neuroscience Says About Why Love Works Better For years, I believed that shame was the spark I needed to change. If I could just criticize myself enough—if I felt bad enough—maybe I’d finally do something about it. But neuroscience paints a very different picture. When we operate from shame, we aren’t tapping into […]

There are moments I look back and cringe.At the awkward phrasing in an old blog.At the clunky website designs I once proudly sent to clients.At the way I stayed confronted my best friend when she went back into an abusive relationship.At how I didn’t know what to say when a friend stopped eating lunch in […]

I used to believe that certainty was the point.That faith meant clarity. Obedience. Doing what I was told.That questioning meant falling away. That curiosity was the gateway to deception. I used to believe in black-and-white. But like so many others who’ve walked the path of deconstruction, I’ve come to learn that real growth—the kind that […]
