The Greatest Burden

March 23, 2025 Leave a Comment

“The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.”
It’s a heavy truth.  When parents don’t chase their dreams or heal their wounds, the weight of their unresolved issues often falls on their kids.
When parents have unresolved issues, unfulfilled hopes, unspoken regrets, or suppressed passions, they often unconsciously project them on to their children.
This can create a lot of pressure for the son or daughter to fulfill what his/her parent could not. […]

Challenges & Personal Growth

March 8, 2025 2 Comments

Challenges are the fuel for growth, progress, and learning. When we are in the midst of a challenge, we usually feel overwhelmed & discouraged.
We fear that things will never change, that we do not have the resources to navigate the difficulties.
Remembering that things do not happen to us, that they happen FOR us, helps us to take a different perspective.
It may look horrible right now; you may feel that this “winter” in your life will never go by. […]

How do you Fix Conflict?

February 28, 2025 Leave a Comment

Ever wonder why some couples fall apart after a few years while others seem to grow even stronger?
It’s not because they never fight. It’s because they know how to repair.
Unresolved conflict isn’t just a disagreement—it leaves behind emotional wounds.
Over time, those wounds stack up. Small issues turn into major resentments. Emotional safety erodes.
And eventually, partners start feeling like roommates instead of lovers.
Here’s what people get wrong:
💥 They assume time will heal the issue. […]

Release your Tension – Let it Go

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

The things that are out of your hands do not deserve a permanent home in the sacred sanctuary of your mind.
Release them with the grace of a woman/ man who knows her/ his worth, who trusts the sacred rhythm of life, and who understands that freedom begins within.
You were never meant to carry the weight of what cannot be changed, to anchor your heart to outcomes beyond your power.
Surrender.
You are meant to rise, […]

When you are Feeling Sad or Overwhelmed

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

Have you ever felt like you’re drowning in a sea of emotions, and no matter how hard you try to stay afloat, the waves just keep crashing over you? It’s a tough place to be, and I get it – we’ve all been there.
But here’s the thing: just like we wouldn’t hesitate to see a doctor if we had a nasty case of the flu, we shouldn’t hesitate to seek help when our mental health is suffering. […]

The Greatest Power

February 8, 2025 Leave a Comment

There’s no greater power than knowing who you are.
At its core, this statement is all about self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
It’s recognizing that true power doesn’t come from external sources like wealth, status, or accomplishments.
Nope, the real juice flows from having a solid understanding of your authentic self – your values, strengths, quirks, and all.
When you really know yourself inside and out, you move through the world with a quiet confidence. You’re not easily shaken by criticism or setbacks because you’re grounded in who you are. […]

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser – Steps

January 25, 2025 Leave a Comment

I know we all want to be liked and accepted, but constantly putting others’ needs before your own is a surefire way to burn out.
Trust me, I’ve been there – the endless cycle of saying yes when you really want to say no, sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of keeping the peace. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? And it carries a hidden cost.
But here’s the thing – you don’t have to live that way anymore. […]

Internal Struggles and Grace

December 29, 2024 Leave a Comment

We’ve all been there – someone treats us poorly, and our first instinct is to take it personally. We wonder what we did wrong, or why they seem to have such an issue with us.
However, most of the time, it has absolutely nothing to do with us at all.
We are complex beings, dealing with their own baggage, their own fears and insecurities. The way they treat others is often just a reflection of the battles they’re fighting within themselves. […]

Does Time Heal All Wounds?

December 28, 2024 3 Comments

Do you think time heals all wounds? The ox asked the rabbit.
The rabbit  shook her head and replied, I don’t think it’s time that heals. It’s what you do with time that makes us better or worse.
Time can definitely help us gain some perspective and distance from painful experiences. But I don’t think it’s just the passage of time itself that really does the healing.
It’s what we actively do with that time that makes the biggest difference. […]
