So...here we are. A new year. It's been pretty tame and mild so far, wouldn't you agree?

Jokes aside, I want to humanize the fact that we're seeing a lot unfold in front of us in what feels like rapid speed. Genocide, elections, fires, the battle over free speech (looking at you, TikTok), all under a Cancer Fu

I'm a hater for the hype of this holiday. "It's gonna be a new year, so you better make resolutions, have an epic night, clean your house, lose that holiday weight…OR ELSE!!!"

Rest often gets a bad reputation. For so many, waiting feels like non-productivity or even laziness. But thanks to voices like Tricia Hersey, we’re learning that rest is a powerful, active stance of resistance against oppressive systems. As she beautifully puts it: “Rest is reclaiming our power and our right to simply be.” 💪

Having an unpleasant emotion in women (and other marginalized groups) is considered a sign of not being able to be controlled, not adhering to or being a functioning part of society. And when men experience it too, it's common for them being negatively tied to femininity. 

From a young age, we're taught that permission comes from others. But as adults, we hold the power to grant it to ourselves. Choosing joy—like picking up a coloring book instead of tackling endless tasks—can be transformative, nurturing self-compassion and reminding us that our happiness is valuable.

Oh hey, Holiday Season, back so soon? It's an odd mix to feel heaviness and excitement at the same time, isn't it? 

I’ve been carrying a steady, simmering rage since 2016, one that grows with every hard truth and buried injustice I unveil.

I have a love-hate relationship with the word gratitude

Like, the essence of itI LOVE! But it's become so overused…

What exactly is honoring? I’ve been sitting with that word for a while….

Sometimes the brain likes to say, "You're weird. You're the only one going through this, and you're wrong for feeling this way."

It’s been a while since I’ve sent an email, but today, I’m reaching out with an offering of love and compassion…
