Enjoying the Holidays
The holiday season is often associated with joy, gatherings, and celebrations. However, for people living with tinnitus, hyperacusis, or sudden sensorineural hearing loss, the holidays can feel overwhelming exhausting, and stressful. Loud environments, unpredictable noise, social pressure, and disrupted routines can significantly intensify symptoms. Surviving the holidays does not mean pushing through discomfort — it means adapting with intention, compassion, and self-care.

A Promise Left Unspoken
I always told myself I’d look after him. My dad. My hero. The one who showed me how to move through the world. As a kid, I watched him work himself to the bone, smile through it anyway, and I made this quiet promise: one day, I’d make things easier for him. I’d pay him back for everything—the lost sleep, the sacrifices, the tears he pretended I didn’t see. I swore he’d never feel alone, not as long as I was around.

How I Stepped into the Life I Used to be Afraid to Want
For a long time, I lived small on purpose. I didn’t dream too loudly. I didn’t ask for too much. I didn’t reach too far. Somewhere deep inside me, I believed the life I actually wanted wasn’t meant for me. It felt too big, too bright, too bold for someone like me, someone who had been told to tone it down, be realistic, stay grateful for the little I had, and never expect more.

The Quiet Steps That Saved Me: How Healing Found Me When I Stopped Running
When Life Became Too Heavy There was a time in my life when even getting out of bed felt like lifting a mountain. I didn’t recognize myself anymore—my energy, my joy, my spark had slowly faded into something unexplainable. Nothing dramatic had happened all at once. I wasn’t shattered suddenly.

The Day I Realized I Was Tired of Being "The Strong One"

That's how fast and heavy reality hits sometimes - especially when you least expect it. But the real nightmare isn't that moment; it's what comes after. You won't even remember the exact moment it happens, because it really is that random.

How I Rebuilt My Confidence After Years of Dimming My Light
For years, I lived small, smaller than my truth, smaller than my gifts, smaller than the voice inside me begging to be heard. At the time, I didn’t realize I was dimming my light. I thought I was being “humble,” “easy to love,” or “low-maintenance.” I thought blending in kept me safe. I thought shrinking was the price of acceptance.
