This is a great question, because I think experiences in life etch your confidence out of you. Children are a great example of confidence, even given their environments. We seem to think a kid can be delusional – pretending to be a knight or a princess. But they believe so deeply that they are, and…

The Mother Wound
On your quest to rediscover who you are, you often, unfortunately uncover injuries from your upbringing that bring about terrible memories. While we talk about lack of love or abuse from fathers often, I think we don’t divulge enough on abusive mothers. First and foremost, despite how my mother was, I loved her. However, love…
Realization
I could not think or breathe. I was tired, stressed…feeling like I needed to be at attention at all times. It wasn’t allergic reactions or lack of rest. It was my ex. I was always on edge. Because of him. Three phone calls a day. Texting all day long. Was I about to escape? Well,…
Happy Mother’s Day
Dear Mom, How you managed to hang on until the very end will always be a mystery to me – anyone else would have curled up and died with stage four cancer. I always admire your tenacity and willingness. We had our differences, and developed past them as we both got older. I am grateful…
Positivity
We live in an our world littered by opinions. Do this, wear that, you’re this – you’re that. However, we seldomly hear kindness and truths. It’s hard being soft in a place that constantly demands you need to be harsh to survive. With that being said, I’d like to introduce you to Athul Kriprilani Ashok,…
Gently
“Violence is the answer,” he said, “men need to be killed to get the message.” It was someone’s opinion in raising the divine feminine. To kill men who hurt women and children. Using violence to abate violence creates a bigger problem. No one wants the soft and gentle approach because it isn’t outlandish. We’ve been…
The Good You Do
I woke up needing to rewire myself. A hormonal shift is to blame. After doing a few chores, I started feeling better. And I lead with this thought – I have done more than enough. When am I going to stop beating myself up and start living in the moment (again)? Today, today is the…
Inward
This has been the topic of conversation since last night – and one of my mutual followers mentioned something worth repeating this morning. Before I share screenshots of the post – let’s talk about getting in our own way. The person who commented is a lifestyle coach. It’s literally his job to help people help…
Right in Front of Me
Took me long enough… Ah, yes. The age old conversation I have with others about what I do, and how many followers I have that ALWAYS pops up. The first thing people say is- “Oh wow, you’re famous.” Especially men. That bit is annoying…I’m not a trophy. If you couldn’t tell from the tone of…
Water Runs Dry
The water is off where I stay. No warning. And it was an emergency shut off – this is going to be an all day event. I’ve been worrying lately. I spent a very long time in a hostile environment…then suddenly I was free. And I didn’t know how to act. I had freedom. Luxury….
