Growth Has A Cost

Sep 27, 2026 |

There is a part of growth that I don't think we talk about enough.Growth costs something.We tend to talk about transformation from the other side of it.The awakening.The breakthrough.The new beginning.The beautiful life that...

When Life Hits From Every Direction

by | October 3, 2026 | Coming Home to Yourself | 0 Comments

The last few days have been hard. Not one big thing that happened and then passed. Oh no, it's been more like one thing after another after another.An unexpected expense. An urgent repair. Financial pressure that was already sitting heavily on me. The ongoing...

I Don’t Live There Anymore

by | October 1, 2026 | Coming Home to Yourself | 0 Comments

I spend a lot of mornings on my front porch.I’m an early riser anyway, but some mornings I’m out there early enough that my day begins under the stars. I sit in the darkness, drink my coffee, and eventually watch the sky begin to change.This morning was one of those...

When Illness Isn’t Visible

by | September 25, 2026 | Everyday Reflections | 0 Comments

When people find out that I have a brain injury, they're often surprised.And I understand why.Because they see me when I show up.They see me having a conversation. Working. Sitting in court. Facilitating a group. Spending time...

Nothing Changed Except Me

by | September 23, 2026 | Coming Home to Yourself | 0 Comments

I've been through enough periods of growth in my life now that I've started to recognize when one is happening. Some people might call it an awakening. Transformation. Expansion. A new chapter. I think I just want to call it growth. Because we all grow. Whether you're...

I Love Being Back at Work… I Also Want to Be Well…

by | September 21, 2026 | Uncategorized | 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I cried on my drive to work.It was Wednesday morning. The day hadn't even started yet, and I was already struggling.I was exhausted. My head was hurting. My brain felt tired before I had even asked it to do anything for the day. And underneath...

Surrender Is a Practice

by | September 13, 2026 | Uncategorized | 0 Comments

There is a version of surrender that sounds beautiful. I surrendered. I let go. I trusted the process. As though surrender is one peaceful decision we make, followed by immediate freedom. That hasn't been my experience. Surrender can be messy. Sometimes it looks like...

You Don’t Have to Earn a Good Life

by | September 12, 2026 | Everyday Reflections | 0 Comments

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that a good life had to be earned. That rest comes after the work is finished.That joy comes after we've accomplished enough.That love comes when we're worthy of it.That we can receive once we've given enough.That peace is...

Healing Can Look Surprisingly Ordinary

by | September 11, 2026 | Trauma & the Nervous System | 0 Comments

I used to think healing would feel bigger than this. I think I imagined there would be some moment when I would arrive. Some enormous breakthrough. Some unmistakable shift. A moment when I would look around and think: There. I did it. I'm healed. But lately, I've been...
Self-Trust Is Built in Small Moments

Self-Trust Is Built in Small Moments

Sep 10, 2026 |

I don't think we suddenly wake up one day and trust ourselves. I think we build it. Quietly. One small decision at a time. For a long time, I thought self-trust meant being certain. Knowing exactly what I wanted. Making decisions without questioning myself. Having...

Maybe Peace Is the Evidence

Maybe Peace Is the Evidence

Sep 9, 2026 |

I used to think healing would announce itself. That there would be some unmistakable moment when I would know: There. I've healed. Maybe I would finally understand everything. Maybe the things that once hurt wouldn't hurt anymore. Maybe I'd have some enormous...

Rest Is Part of the Work

Rest Is Part of the Work

Sep 8, 2026 |

I used to think rest was what happened when the work was done. When everything on the list was checked off. When everyone else was taken care of. When I had accomplished enough to justify stopping. Rest was the reward. The pause between productive things. Something I...

Let’s Keep Exploring Together

Healing isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about staying curious, remaining open, and allowing ourselves to keep learning along the way.

I hope these reflections encourage you to pause, think, and reconnect with yourself in whatever way feels meaningful to you.

If you’d like to continue the journey together, I’d love to welcome you to a workshop, a healing session, or one of our community gatherings.
