    The holidays bring out so much — warmth, nostalgia, connection, and at the same time… pressure. Pressure to be cheerful. Pressure to show up for everyone. Pressure to smile through things you’re still healing from. For many people, this time of year quietly exposes old wounds. Family patterns resurface. Comparisons get loud. And the part…

  • 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…

    Six months ago, I was someone else. Not a stranger—but a version of me that was still trying to hold it all together while falling apart inside.

Because the truth is, many of…

    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…

    An awakening is different for everyone, but at its core, it’s a moment in life where you’re called to question everything—who you are, what you believe, and what truly aligns with your soul. It’s often triggered by a major life shift, deep emotional pain, or even an unshakable feeling that something isn’t quite right. For…
