  • 🌑 From Wounds to Wisdom: Transforming Pain Into Power

    Astrology often mirrors the healing work we’re doing on the inside. Today, with the Sun in Leo forming a trine to Chiron in Aries, many of us may be feeling raw, emotional, and face-to-face with our deepest wounds. It’s not always comfortable. Old stories of betrayal, abandonment, or rejection may rise to the surface. We…

  • Divorce Doesn’t Damage Children—Hostility Does

    One of the biggest myths I’ve ever heard is that divorce “ruins” children. It’s not true. What does cause deep, lasting harm is the emotional warfare that sometimes follows. The tension. The control. The use of children as pawns in an unresolved battle between two adults who haven’t fully healed. I’ve seen this firsthand. Not…

  • Their Behavior Is Not a Reflection of You

    So many of us take how others treat us personally—especially when it’s someone we once trusted, loved, or shared a life with.

But part of healing—real healing—is learning to sit with what makes us uncomfortable. And this topic? It needs to be talked about. I’m talking about parenting and unhealed childhood wounds. Because the truth is, many of…

  • Becoming Through the Darkness

    Lately, the old pain has been surfacing again. The betrayal. The heartbreak. The memories I thought I buried deep enough not to feel anymore. But this time, something is different. It’s not here to break me — it’s here to remind me who I am becoming. The darkness didn’t win. I used it. I became…

  • The Mask Will Always Slip

    For years, I watched someone I cared about wear a mask — smiling on the outside, falling apart on the inside. He hid his pain, his truth, his wounds. He showed up for the world, but inside, he was unraveling. By the end, the mask couldn’t hold. His body began to break down. Emotionally, he…
