Welcome to The Blog! 

When was the last time you truly let loose and had fun—not for a goal, not to check something off a list, but simply for the joy of it? In our fast-paced world, many of us have forgotten how to play. Responsibilities pile up, schedules get packed, and the idea of having fun often takes […]

We all carry stories—quiet beliefs we picked up somewhere along the way.“I’m too much.”“I’m not enough.”“I missed my chance.” They often sound like truth because we’ve repeated them so many times, or because someone else (a parent, a teacher, a faith tradition) said them first. But most of the time, they’re not truth—they’re just patterns. […]

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 […]

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. It’s simple, a little uncomfortable at first, and surprisingly emotional for many people. Most of us aren’t used to seeing ourselves with softness. We pass by the […]

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’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 […]
