This is an ongoing topic for me. When I ask if you have ever felt unseen, I don’t mean in the popularization of social media and the amount of ‘likes’ or postings we create to display our lives. I mean in the most intimate ways and with the people closest to us. Being...
Why do we struggle? Because if it was easy, what would we learn in our lifetime? I don’t intend to simplify or discount the enormity of some of the challenges we will face in our lifetimes, but I fundamentally believe that if we don’t use this life as an opportunity...
We teach our kids tell the truth. We ask them to be honest with us and we teach them that when they are not truthful, there are consequences. So why is it that as we grow older it can be hard to speak our truth? In learning to speak my truth I have had to unpack...

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Mahatma Gandhi To forgive is one of the most challenging things we can do. Holding onto resentment often feels ‘right’, as though holding onto it gives us permission to be hurt. We can convince...
If you are on a path of self growth, there will be a time – if you haven’t gotten there already – when you may believe you have reached the heights of your evolution. Where you feel like your work has been done. That eventually we may figure out this whole being human...
From this moment forward, may we all find the absolute freedom to be ourselves. May we kneel with reverence to our own paths and find ways to allow us to be ourselves. It’s easy to get swept up in the idea that you are not enough, that what you want isn’t good enough,...
