The words we choose and the *way* we use them together can hurt or heal, destroy or build, isolate or unite. If you want to be more mindful about what you say and how you say it, read this. It'll remind you how powerful YOU are. To live and love, the way YOU want to.

Courage, to me, means that you show up anyway. Regardless of doubt, insecurity, and fear. No matter how many times you’ve been forced into despair before. This is a courage poem to honor that struggle and the strength still left, even when you’re not sure how you can keep going.

The words we choose to document our lives — those we read, those we write, those we speak to ourselves and others — influence what we hold as truths. I have a little note (and a poem) for you on healing through writing. I’ve learned firsthand that putting negative experiences into words has positively profound effects.

Sharing your story is heart work. It's not easy work, but it might be the most important thing you’ll ever do. Read these quotes to remember how much your story matters. You're here to feel it, live it, tell it. And whatever you share might be what helps someone else heal, too.

The more we tell the truth about what we’ve gone through and are still going through, the easier it is to trust ourselves. I think that’s because sharing is daring to discover who we can be beyond any one story. Bearing your heart and soul: that’s one of the bravest ways to heal and grow.

Feelings are guides and, in that way, gifts, but their messages often go way deeper than what we initially read into. That feeling is speaking some truth and it’s meant to be experienced, just don’t confuse it with who you are. Feeling is healing and it’ll grant you access to deep wisdom, and here are a few ways how.

If you want to contribute yourself to the world in a meaningful way, nourishing yourself is NOT an option: it’s a necessity. That’s why you’re here.

Rituals don’t need to be expensive or time-consuming. That’s why I’m sharing a super easy self-massage ritual with you today.

Do you need some help meditating? Try reciting a meaningful phrase (sometimes called a mantra) - it's an ancient practice for reigning in the wandering mind. And it works. So, here are 5 easy-to-remember affirmations for meditation, inspired by my own practice.

Living intentionally is about discovery. Discovering yourself and what you value, what matters, and what doesn’t make you feel free. This is why your simple intent is so healing: it allows you to keep what’s important close to your heart and more gracefully release — or move through, rather than avoid — suffering.
