January Is a Marketplace for Vulnerability

January sells the idea that wanting change is the same as being ready for it. They are not the same thing. Wanting change often comes from fatigue, discomfort, or shame. Readiness comes from capacity—emotional bandwidth, environmental support, nervous system regulation, and a realistic understanding of what change will cost. Most people confuse urgency for readiness and that confusion is expensive.

Which Version Of You Are You Taking Into The New Year?

Growth doesn’t always announce itself as change. More often, it arrives as a subtle mismatch — the moment when the current version of yourself that carried you this far no longer fits the life you’re living. This is where many people get it wrong. They assume they need reinvention. A reset. A rebrand or a complete makeover.

Winter Solstice Meaning: Why Winter Is the Birthplace of Growth

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year — a pivotal turning point. It is not the start of winter, but its midpoint: the time when the dark reaches its deepest point and the first hints of returning light begin. This is nature’s reminder that growth often begins where it can’t yet be seen, and that stillness is a form of preparation, not stagnation.

When the Holidays Hurt: Navigating Loss and Finding Yourself Again

Loss doesn’t only come from romantic endings. Sometimes it’s the friendship that became severed or faded away. The work/ professional relationship that dissolved. The community you no longer belong to. The person who used to be part of your everyday life — and suddenly isn’t. And while some of these losses may not come with dramatic endings, they still leave empty spaces where connection once lived.

What My Biological Father's Passing Taught Me About Connection

Grief had arrived like a tsunami, surging into my body while we were receiving all the information. This primal feeling of devastation overtook me by its powerful currents, emotionally flooding me with a force so strong, I couldn’t even comprehend or understand how to name the depth of it. It had its own sounds within me that came from somewhere much older than our words shared. It wasn’t only the loss of him that was demolishing me; it was the loss of everything we hadn’t yet been and the loss of a sacred life line I hadn’t finished exploring yet.

A Spiritual Prelude to Thanksgiving: A Love Letter to the Universe

When I strip this compound word down to their essence, I feel their pulse again. Thanks — a quiet whisper of gratitude that softens the edges of my days. Giving — an offering, a surrender, a willingness to share what lives within me. Together, they form something sacred. Not a celebration bound by a calendar, but a rhythm that hums beneath the surface of living — the art of both receiving and releasing in equal measure.

Sitting In Stillness: Sorry, NOT Sorry

Because even silence has a heartbeat and a pulse. We just can’t hear it when we’re too busy performing. This stillness isn’t stagnation — it’s sacred. It’s the cocoon between versions of self, the quiet where new roots take hold. It also isn’t punishment. It’s permission. A needed pause for what’s tender, raw, and real. A moment to sit in gratitude for how far you have come, and how willing you are to still begin again.

The Ghost Stories We Tell Ourselves

But what happens when the haunting isn’t around us — it’s within us? When we’re the ones wearing the costume, scaring ourselves with stories that never happened? We do it all the time — crafting mental thriller films about what might go wrong, what people think, what we fear losing. We haunt our own peace with loops of worry, guilt, scary thoughts and imaginary danger.

How Truth Becomes Our Deepest Harvest

We are all wounded and wondrous, victims and vessels, survivors and storytellers. When we speak our truth without shame, we harvest light from the dark. We release isolation and make space for connection, compassion, and renewal. That’s what this season is asking of us — to strip away what’s false, to compost what’s finished, and to honor the strange ingredients of our own becoming.

When the Body Becomes A Vessel: A Reflection on Being a Witness

Every place where great loss and unimaginable atrocities have occurred, carries its own emotional resonance. Sensitive people—artists, healers, empaths—often pick up on that charge, while others might not ever realize it or put it together. The body becomes a conduit, channeling the unspeakable into sensation: tingling all over the body, heaviness in the chest, stomach, nausea, headache, fatigue, tears, and sometimes even illness that come from nowhere. I understand now what it means to be full on conduit with the soul. I literally became a container and the energy I experienced that day became a vehicle driving through my body, translating the unspeakable, unfathomable and disbelief into an angry expression my body became a vessel for.

What Your Costume Says About You: Unmasking the identities we wear — on Halloween and every day

The Costumes We Wear Every Day

Costumes aren’t reserved for one night in October. We wear them daily — in our clothes, our makeup, our posture, our tone, and even our social media personas. They’re the subtle expressions of who we want to be seen as, or what we believe will make us safe, accepted, or desirable.

A tailored jacket might whisper confidence.
A designer label might shout worthiness.
A pair of worn sneakers might hum, I don’t need to prove anything.

Part Two: August Isn’t Just a Month, It’s a Moment

This particular month shows us that endings can arrive beautifully, quietly, without bitterness, minus all the drama. Nature moves forward without overthinking or having to over explain why things are happening— it just responds to what is. This is the gift of August, a living, breathing lesson in art of letting go while attuning ourselves to the cycles that are already in motion. The question is, can we follow its lead?
