For the Women Who’ve Loved Deeply, Lost Themselves, and Are Ready to Return Home

A gentle reckoning for those ready to honor the voice within For women whose hearts are open and those who get attached too quickly I started and ended yesterday’s writing session with this statement. I left it on the page. But today, as I sit, I feel more in my power. Today is a day of liberation — I feel it in my bones. I have faced the darkness many times, and often, I let it push me over the edge into the depths of sorrow, self-doubt, and compliance. Today, I’ve taken time to pause, to step into my power as a woman,…
How Looking Back Can Light the Way Forward

What past pain, present intuition, and reflection taught me about love, self-worth, and staying open I admit it: I’ve been vetting potential partners through online video conversations. Facial expressions — and, when visible, body language — can be quite telling. You can feel someone’s energy on a video call, right? It’s subtle, but it’s there. Being present, observing, and tuning in to what’s felt beyond words helps guide my intuition. Of course, whether the conversation flows naturally and if we want the same things, like a long-term partnership, is important. But it’s the more nuanced echoes that tell me something deeper.

What I Learned from Longing for Someone Who Never Chose Me

My addiction to the spark kept me from rewriting my story and reclaiming my power There’s a story I’ve carried — one that’s been living in the cracks within my heart. I’m only now beginning to understand how much it has shaped me, and I’m finally ready to release its grip. It started when I was just graduating from high school. We met, and the pull was instant. Magnetic. Otherworldly. I can’t describe it any other way. It was like meeting someone I’d always known — this inexplicable force between us. Whenever we were together, it was like a dome came over us and no…
What I Learned From Getting Ghosted After an Amazing Date

How the four agreements helped me stop overthinking and make peace with not knowing One minute, I was on an absolute high after an amazing date, the next, I was ghosted. It was triggering, and after some reflection, I realized what I wanted most in that moment was to know why. I kept trying to figure it out, my monkey mind just wouldn’t let it go. Maybe he died — okay, highly unlikely. As you can tell, I don’t do well with rejection. Does anyone? Back to the point: I kept considering the why, and my goodness, this Google mind of mine — generated about…
The Strength She Found: How My Mother’s Hardest Battle Transformed Us Both

The lessons my mother taught me — without ever saying a word If I were to sum up the purpose of life in two words, it would be to learn. Life, in its essence, is all about what we gain from lived experience. Growing up, I was very close to my mother. In many ways, as she put it, we grew up together. She was a young mom, married at 20, and became a mother at 23. I watched her face many of life’s challenges. But, in some ways, I was oblivious to the unspoken pain she carried — pain she hid from me, thinking…
