I Can Start Over at Any Moment

14 January 20268 June 2025

Sometimes it feels like too much damage has been done. Like you’ve messed up too badly, trusted the wrong people, stayed too long, or lost too much time. Maybe shame creeps in and says, “It’s too late for me. I should be further by now.” But healing reminds you of something powerful: you can begin…

Teaching by Living

12 January 20268 June 2025

“I teach what I live: honesty, consent, boundaries, and curiosity.” Parenting isn’t just about what we say—it’s about how we live. Our children learn most from watching us move through the world. They see how we treat others, how we respond to stress, how we hold space for discomfort, and how we honour ourselves. So…

The Quiet Bravery of Trusting Again

10 January 20268 June 2025

Trusting again after being hurt feels like standing at the edge of a cliff and daring to lean forward. It’s not easy. Your body remembers the fall, your heart remembers the sting, and your mind builds walls to protect you. And yet—somehow—you still reach out. You still let someone in, even just a little. That’s…

My Body Is Not the Enemy—It’s My Home

7 January 20268 June 2025

It’s hard to feel at home in your body when it’s carried pain. Sometimes, when you’ve been hurt, abandoned, judged, or violated, your body starts to feel like a battlefield. You might look at yourself and only see damage. You might feel angry at your body for being “too much,” “too loud,” “not enough,” or…

Safe to Be Real

5 January 20268 June 2025

“I want my child to feel safe to be real—not pressured to be good.” There’s a big difference between raising a child who performs goodness and raising one who feels safe enough to be honest—even when they’re struggling, angry, messy, or unsure. When we focus too hard on raising “good” kids, we sometimes forget what…

December, Grief, Small Joys, and Finding My Way Back

4 January 20265 January 2026

I’ve been very quiet. Almost the whole of December, actually. And that’s not accidental. December is a hard month for me. It holds the anniversary of my mother’s death, on the 29th, and as that date approaches my body knows before my mind does. I become anxious, heavy, withdrawn. Christmas brings no joy for me….

The Wisdom of Recycling in Life

3 January 20268 June 2025

In nature, nothing goes to waste. Ecosystems have this beautiful way of recycling nutrients—leaves fall, decompose, and feed the soil, which in turn nourishes new plants. It’s a continuous cycle where every bit of energy and matter gets reused, transformed, and given new purpose. It’s not about throwing things away; it’s about respecting the flow…

Rooted in Respect

31 December 20258 June 2025

There’s something sacred about the money we earn. Whether it comes in big waves or trickles in slowly, it’s still energy—poured from time, effort, and life itself. And when I spend it mindlessly, I’m not just wasting cash; I’m disconnecting from that energy, from the hours I gave up, the work I did, the sacrifices…

The Weight the Body Remembers

30 December 202519 November 2025

There’s a truth I’ve had to sit with, and maybe it will hit you the same way it hit me: no diet in the world can undo what the nervous system is still holding. You can measure everything you eat, drink all the water, walk every day, follow every plan with the best intentions… but…
