seeing what is silent, hearing what is unseen
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…
Read moreIt’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…
Read more“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…
Read moreI’ve been very quiet. Almost the whole of December, actually. And that’s not accidental. December is a hard month for me.

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…
Read moreThere’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…
Read moreMoralistic preaching has done more harm than most people dare to admit. It tries to create goodness through guilt, love through obligation, and compassion through fear.

Read moreFear doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It doesn’t mean you’re not ready or strong. It just means something matters to you.
