“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”~ Carl Jung My mom had always been invested in real estate. I remember snacking on open house charcuterie years before we finally purchased a house to flip—the first of four. By the time…

Have you ever felt like fat and food were your enemies? Like everything would be better if you could just lose weight—and eat whatever you want without consequence? I felt that way for much of my childhood and teens, when unresolved trauma and low self-esteem led to a long battle with food and my body.…

“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.” ~Eckhart Tolle In July 2023, my father died in a tragic accident. We were devastated—my sisters, my mother, and I. Or so I thought. What followed in the months after his death forced me to confront the truth of…

“The body always leads us home… if we’re willing to listen.” For over a decade, I lived in a body that tried to tell me something I wasn’t ready to hear. But eventually, it got louder—loud enough that I could no longer ignore the message. It started with migraines—always on the left side. Then came…

In fact, I used to hate ghosting with the burning fury of a thousand unread dating app notifications. I told…

“Happiness turned to me and said, ‘It is time. It is time to forgive yourself for all of the things you did not become… Above all else, it is time to believe, with reckless abandon, that you are worthy of me, for I have been waiting for years.” ~Bianca Sparacino I didn’t know who I…

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ~ Rumi I never imagined I’d be here at forty-nine—divorced, disoriented, and drowning in an identity crisis. I had met him just before my sixteenth birthday. He was all I knew. We built an entire life together—nearly three decades of marriage, raising children, shared memories,…

“Mindfulness is a pause—the space between stimulus and response: that’s where choice lies.” ~Tara Brach We’ve all been there. A sharp reply. A snide remark. A moment when we said something that didn’t come from our heart but from somewhere else entirely—a need to be right, to sound smart, to prove a point, to stay…

“When the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience out before her and enters into her own image.” ~Meister Eckhart For most of my life, something in me felt off—misaligned, too much, not enough. I moved through the world trying to fix a thing I couldn’t name. Then, a beautiful…
