Welcome to The Blog! 

For most of my life, I didn’t know what peace felt like. Not really. Sure, I knew how to appear calm. I knew how to perform “put-together.” But inside, I was always striving. Always chasing. Always moving. My nervous system didn’t know how to rest — it only knew how to hustle. Because somewhere along […]

Failure sucks. No sugarcoating it. Whether it’s a missed goal, a tough conversation that went sideways, or something you poured your heart into that didn’t pan out — failure can trigger shame, regret, and a heavy inner critic ready to remind you of every “what if” and “I should have.” But what if I told […]

I had a moment the other day talking with a friend who’s in the thick of building their business — signing up for courses, chasing strategies, trying to figure out how to grow, scale, and “make it.” And I totally get it. I’ve been there. I used to live in that world. But as I […]

You know that little voice inside you — the one that used to guide you effortlessly, the one that felt like your own personal compass? Maybe for a long time, it’s been drowned out by years of self-doubt, trauma, or conditioning that taught you to put everyone else’s opinions, needs, and judgments before your own. […]

You ever hear someone say, “Just get over it already”? Like healing is some kind of switch you flip or a task you tick off? Yeah… me too. And I used to believe it. In fact I remember beating myself up for not being “over” my grandpa’s death when I was 12 years old.  I […]

The Lie I Inherited I was taught not to choose myself. Not in the dramatic, villainous way—no one sat me down and said, “You don’t matter.” But in the subtle, everyday ways that sink in deep: when I was praised for being serviceful, “motherly”, for putting others first, for being “low maintenance.” When I was […]

The Brain Science Behind Healing, Change, and Becoming You When I first learned about neuroplasticity, I felt like I’d just been handed the keys to my future. If you’ve ever thought “I’m just wired this way,” or “I’ll never change,” science says: that’s not actually true. Your brain is more adaptable than you think. And […]

—Here’s What Happened When I Chose One Anyway I Cried When I Got Into My Master’s Program The tears came easily and flowed freely as generations of women cheered inside me. I was going back to school—to become a career woman. When I Believed Anything Was Possible As a little girl, I believed I could […]

The Journey That Changed Everything I used to believe there was something wrong with me. Why could other people set goals and actually stick to them while I kept spinning in circles? Why did I keep making New Year’s resolutions only to abandon them weeks later? Why did I feel so unmotivated even though I wanted change […]

There was a time in my life when I felt completely stuck. I was working 10 to 12-hour shifts in a senior care facility during the pandemic — emotionally drained, physically exhausted, and spiritually numb. My Peace Corps dream had just been ripped away weeks before I was supposed to leave, and I remember thinking, […]
