Slow Living.

I don’t even notice it until I’ve slipped back in—that familiar rush of doing, checking, moving. But what if slowing down isn’t just about being more present, but about learning how to be?

In Other Words: Toxic Shame

I’ve felt shame for growing up in poverty and neglect. Shame for struggling to function in a world that expects constant productivity. Shame for questioning societal norms and making unconventional choices.

Your Self is Calling—Are You Listening?

Most of us go through life unaware of the hidden forces shaping our choices, relationships, and sense of self.

Weird Against My Will

One of the deepest traumas in my life is feeling like I’m always ‘too much.’ My thoughts, my needs, my very self.

Can we Heal?

Can we Heal?

Healing is a journey, not a destination. It's about striving to improve our well-being, even when the odds seem stacked against us. In a world where many resist the idea of healing, we are often left to explore alternative paths, discovering that true healing encompasses body, mind, and spirit. It’s a journey fraught with challenges, but it is one worth pursuing—whether it's healing with trauma, neurodivergence, or dealing with the struggles of our daily lives.
