It’s been 4 months since we moved to Tucson, Arizona, and what a wild 4 months it has been. I knew it would be a big adjustment moving to the other side of the country from where we were born and raised, but it hasn’t just been an adjustment. It’s been a roller coaster,...
Triggers Are Teachers
First and foremost: I completely understand that getting triggered, especially when it comes to trauma, can be painful, scary, uncomfortable, and debilitating. Everything I am about to say is to be worked into slowly and safely. Small steps and one trigger at a time. Now, before I go into how our triggers are our...
Time BY Myself Turned Time WITH Myself
The time I spend alone has transformed into something I now cherish and even crave. It is a necessary part of my self-care and contributes deeply to my self-love and the relationship I have built, and continue building, with myself. This wasn’t always the reality though. I used to hate being alone, because I...
Small & Steady Wins the Marathon
Looking at our journeys, our goals, our dreams, and alllll the things we hope to bring into our lives can be quite overwhelming (especially if you’re like me and have so many dreams you can’t keep track of them all).It can also be very exciting – you get this feeling of inspiration & motivation...
Nature Heals
Have you ever taken a walk barefoot through the forest? Have you ever swam naked in a natural body of water? Or danced in the pouring rain? Have you slept under The Milky Way?Or hugged a tree? How about let your soul scream “woooohooooo” at the top of a mountain? Because I have, and...

Stop Waiting Until You’re “Ready”
Here’s the thing: there’s no such thing as being “ready.” I’m talking 100% READY to do whatever it is you’re waiting to be ready for. If you wait until that point you’ll never get there. There will always be something else for you to do, or plan, or think about, etc. You’ll find a...
Why I Get Dressed Every Day
I found myself sluggishly dragging my unwilling self over to the kitchen table five days a week, where I had setup my remote work station for my job, still wearing what I had slept in + my red robe. This happened more days than it didn’t because I wasn’t leaving the apartment, so what...
You Are Your Light
My sweet child Your soul was meant To be wild I know the downs Feel deeper than the ups I know you’re resistant, Your heart distant I plead you to see Your spirit was meant To be free I know the highs Feel fleeting, while the downs A rock bottom comfort zone Becoming your...
Feel all the Feelings
It is not always easy to stay on “the path,” but detours are the nature of the game. It is very easy, however, to get caught up in all the good stuff. Especially in the beginning of our journeys, & especially if we’re coming out of a particularly dark place. There are soo many...
