 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something deeply personal: finding and trusting our own voice.
For a long time, it was hard for me to know whether what I was expressing was truly my perspective, or simply what I thought I should think or say. Like many people, I learned to adapt my voice ...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something many of us are feeling right now — grief and anger.
Some of the grief is personal. Some of it is collective. Some of it is difficult to name.
We are living in a time of rapid change and ongoing uncertainty. Many people are carrying layers of loss ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something both deeply personal and profoundly universal: belonging.
Most of us can remember moments when we felt fully included — welcomed without having to prove ourselves. And most of us can also remember moments when we felt just slightly outside the circ...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has not always come easily to me: play.
Even as a child, I often felt more like a little adult than a carefree kid. I loved recess — four square, tetherball, the feeling of fresh air between classroom periods. But imaginative play did not alw...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has surprised me in its simplicity and depth: gardening as a form of prayer.
Not prayer in the traditional sense. Not something requiring specific words or beliefs. But something quieter. Something that happens when your hands are in the soil ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is about something that surprised me.
Years ago, when I worked at the Children’s Hospital, Healing Touch practitioners would visit our staff meetings. I was curious—but skeptical.
How could something so gentle have such a profound impact?
And then I experienced it my...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has quietly reshaped my understanding of both relationships and nervous system regulation: partner presence.
So much of healing focuses on how we regulate ourselves. But most of us live in relationship—with partners, family members, and others...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores one of the simplest—and most powerful—practices for nervous system regulation: walking meditation.
Not walking to exercise.Not walking to clear your inbox in your head.Not walking to achieve anything at all.
Just walking.
Walking meditation is the practice ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores a concept that can be both comforting and complicated: post-traumatic growth.
When I first encountered this idea, part of me resisted it. Because trauma is not something to romanticize. It hurts. It disrupts. It changes us in ways we never asked for.
But pos...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is about perfectionism—the kind that looks like competence from the outside, but feels like constant pressure from within.
Recently, my aunt told a story about me at three years old, sitting on the stairs with a box of animal crackers. I carefully opened the box, too...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is one of the most personal I’ve written in a while.
For much of my life, I believed there was something wrong with me because I froze in moments of acute stress. My mind would go blank. Later, the clarity would come—but not when I needed it most.
I now understand so...
This week’s blog is a personal one.
It’s about sensitivity—how many of us were taught to hide it, toughen up, or manage it away… and how, over time, I’ve come to understand softness not as a liability, but as a form of strength.
In Strength of Softness, I share a childhood story about being a dee...
