There is a moment. A tiny pause. A fraction of a second that most of us miss. In that moment lives the difference between a reaction that derails us and a response that restores us. This is the place, that precious space of Power.  Reactions are fast. Hot. Automatic. Atomic.  They come from the nervous […]

Shame has a way of telling us we are unworthy.Unworthy of love. Unworthy of rest. Unworthy of joy unless it’s been earned through sweat, sacrifice, and perfection. Unworthy of the success we have already achieved. It tells us we’re too much and not enough all at once. It tells us that we can’t want too […]

This morning, my garden didn’t just whisper a story—it slapped me across the face with a grade one snot klap. I mean, the peach tree was literally struck in half by lightning last year… and it’s STILL ALIVE. Damaged, but still bearing fruit. Still offering shelter!

Sometimes, what feels like chaos is actually coherence trying to make its way through. The part of you that’s tired of pleasing, shrinking, or editing yourself to fit other people’s comfort zones isn’t the bad girl or the rebel. It’s the part that remembers your wholeness.

But have you noticed how fast those values vanish the minute life gets real? The inbox pings, your boss drops a surprise meeting, your teenager needs a lift, and […]

Alignment is a word that gets thrown around a lot, especially in the self-development world. We talk about being in alignment with our values, our purpose, our truth. It sounds neat and tidy. But in real life, alignment is messy. It’s dynamic. It’s the dance between clarity and confusion, expansion and contraction, doing and being. […]

Balance is a unicorn. Cute idea. But OMG! It’s sooo hard to saddle. Real life is rhythm. Priority, choice, acceptance, letting go, decision, permission, and personal power around time, energy, and focus. Add pleasure and rest. Add awe in the ordinary and the spectacular. That is how we live well. “How we spend our days […]
