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 […]

I’m sitting at the airport as I write this. Solo. Headed out on another adventure I used to be too scared to even imagine. There was a time I never would have done this. The thought of navigating travel alone made me spiral — What if I got lost? What if I couldn’t figure out […]

Let’s be real: if you’ve ever felt stuck in a pattern of anxiety, shutdown, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm — even after the trauma is “over” — you’re not broken. Your brain just got rewired for survival.And the most empowering truth?It can be rewired for safety, joy, and trust too. Trauma Isn’t Just in Your Head […]

Have you ever had that voice in your head telling you you’re not good enough, that you’ll never succeed, or that you’re making the wrong decision? That inner critic can be relentless, always second-guessing your every move and making you doubt your abilities. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? The constant chatter, the negative self-talk—it can leave […]

Have you ever caught yourself waiting for a sign—a thumbs-up from a friend, a “like” on your latest post, or an approving comment from a colleague—before you can truly believe in your own decisions? It’s as if the validation of others holds the key to your confidence, your peace of mind, and your self-worth. Here’s […]

Let’s be honest: “neuroplasticity” sounds like something a neuroscientist would casually say over lattes while the rest of us just smile and nod. But once you understand what it actually means — and how powerful it is — you start realizing:Oh. I’m not stuck. I’m literally wired to change. And that? That’s where healing begins. […]

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 […]
