Whispers of a Warrior
There's a feeling that comes after something moves from your system that you didn't even know you were carrying.
An energetic purge. Whether that's a cry, belly laugh, a scream, or pleasurable ecstasy, it's release.
It feels like space. Openness. Freedom. Love. A knowing that wasn't there before.
When life force moves through and clears what has been stuck for years, you can suddenly sense who you are beneath the single identity everyone - including yourself - had been observing.
Beneath the...
What I found before I had language for it - and why it matters.
I have never talked about this part of my story this way before.
I always wanted to be a mom. That was never a question for me. Just a matter of when.
The first few losses kind of rolled off my back. I was young. The finances weren't there. The timing wasn't right. I had every justification lined up and I leaned on all of them. My heart was still broken underneath all of it. My soul's light dimmed a little with each one, even whe...
Sometimes the universe moves for us. We don't get to know why. We just learn to arrive differently.
My son fell off a scooter this week and broke his collarbone - the same bone, the same exact spot, as when he was born.

You are still showing up. Still answering. Still present for everyone who needs you. Still functioning at a level that makes people say "I don't know how you do it."

That is not a discipline problem. That is what happens when we are giving our energy without any clarity about where it's actually going.
Most of us were never taught that energy moves. That it transf...
There was a season where I looked at my calendar and could not find myself in it.
Not dramatically. Just a slow accumulation of commitments that had dressed themselves up as choices. Appoinments booked back to back. Yesses said without a pause in between. A body that had started communicating in a language I was getting very good at ignoring.
The body does not whisper forever. Eventually, it finds a way to be loud.
What I did not understand then, what took years of this work to feel in my bon...
You're not falling apart. You're burning clean.
There’s a moment I remember clearly. I was deep in my own healing, years into the work, practicing, teaching, holding space for others, and I still found myself second-guessing what I knew in my bones.
It wasn’t that the knowing wasn’t there. It was. It always had been.
