Society Often Teaches Us to Suppress Our Sad Feelings, Branding Them as Negative.. Content Warning.
Allow yourself the time to feel, process, and let go. What a journey we’ve traveled together. You can relate to that pain that appears out of nowhere and wants to linger in our minds. Once fear moves in, it takes root—spreading doubt, loneliness, and confusion It’s that kind of pain that overtakes your mental health, gradually making a home within you. Your thoughts can create a space filled with fear, a feeling that we often cling to because it’s the one our minds use against us—leading to a fierce battle between your thoughts and your feelings. It’s a struggle no one wants to lose, yet losing yourself feels like an ever-present threat. Isn’t that a trick life plays on us?

Christmas is Not Always “Beer and Skittles”
If you find the holiday season challenging, you’re not alone. I have never been a big fan of Christmas. I have always found it a bit pretentious. It is a time for kids, really. I have not had kids in my life, so the "children's influence" around this time of year doesn’t occur.

The Hidden Costs of Hustling
People do not need to be reminded of the murky, colourless and dull picture of what burnout resembles, of either 'taking on too much' or 'hustling too hard.' I truly get it. Burnout is real for both entrepreneurs and employees alike; and when we push our bodies to the brink - aches and pains, and perhaps a few viral infections and mental exhaustion (only to name) come knocking on your domain. And these pesky guests do not give two hoots as to whether or not they are invited to the party - let alone into your own personal space. Life is expensive, and it is only becoming more commonplace and familiar. It is important to put in the effort, yet that effort needs to be inspired. It does not matter what line of work you engage in, provided you are in the flow. The healing starts with you in getting to the bottom of your trauma and inner child. Doing the inner work.

Breaking Free From Trauma. Content Warning.
Do you believe that we are put on this earth for a reason? You don't have to be spiritual to believe. I believed in something more when I was growing up. It was my way of surviving my childhood as a sex-offender's daughter.

Gift Giving Must Be Mindful
Gifts are given to others for a myriad of reasons: to celebrate joy or a specific milestone. Gifts travel way beyond marked occasions like Christmas, Birthdays, and other commercially oriented days such as Valentines Day to name. Gifts are given when people are awarded promotions; they recover from surgery; and at weddings, baby showers and graduations to name.

Overcoming Boredom: When The Sparks Go Out
No different to how we often associate loneliness with being alone, even though there is a wide contrast between these two different states that a human being can endure. Therefore, boredom (and being really, really bored) is often associated with having "nothing to do" - where boredom is actually a disconnect between who we are and where we want to be at a particular point in time. There is a gap, a void, a yearning of sorts - yet you are in a garden with endless weeds to pull, instead of being in a garden with flowers to observe, water, and enjoy. That is boredom. Dullness. No spark.
