Forgiving Myself Was the Hardest Part
We talk a lot about forgiveness. Forgiving those who hurt us. Those who left. Those who disappointed us, betrayed us, broke us.

How I Found Light in My Loneliest Hour
There are hours in life that feel endless. Not because they’re filled with activity or noise— but because they’re so heartbreakingly quiet.

We live in a world that romanticizes exhaustion. The busier you are, the more valuable you seem. The more burned out you are, the more praise you receive.

What If You’re Not Lost—Just Being Replanted?
We’ve all had those seasons—where everything familiar falls away, where you no longer feel grounded, where nothing looks or feels like “home” anymore.

The Power of Starting Over Without Shame
There’s something sacred about starting over. And yet, many of us carry the weight of shame when we do. We whisper about our fresh starts like they’re secrets—quietly quitting jobs, silently ending relationships, hiding new beginnings under layers of guilt and fear.
