Life has a way of testing us in the moments we least expect. Some days, it feels like the weight of everything is pressing down, and you’re doing your best just to breathe through it. Other days, there’s peace, even if it’s quiet, subtle, or fleetin...

Yesterday was my father’s birthday. Even after time has passed, the day still carries weight, not just in the memories, but in the silence that follows. The day after his birthday always feels different. The messages slow down, the posts fade, and t...

Some people understand what it means to lose a parent, some don’t. In 7 days, it will be my father’s birthday, October 6th. He would’ve been 56. My head aches and my heart feels heavy. There’s no timeline for grief, especially when the person you’ve...

We wait. We wait for the right time, the right feeling, the right alignment of stars. We tell ourselves “When I have more money. When I feel ready. When life calms down. When I’m less afraid.” But here’s the truth we don’t like to admit: The perfect...

I’m gonna be real with you, a lot of the things that keep us unhappy, bitter, and broke aren’t random. They’re patterns we get stuck in, sometimes without even realizing it. I’ve been there. Mad at life, blaming everyone else, wondering why nothing ...

There comes a moment in life where the mirror doesn’t just show your reflection, it shows your hesitation. The dreams you’ve placed on pause. The fears that whisper, “Not yet.” But hear me when I say this: the greatest weight you’ll ever carry is th...

There is a quiet ache that comes with growth— not the kind you feel in your bones or your muscles, but the kind that seeps into the soul. It arrives when you realize that the people you once thought would stand beside you forever cannot walk with th...

We move through our days on autopilot, repeating the same steps, the same words, the same choices— rarely pausing to ask why. Why do you do the things that you do? Do they water your growth, or do they drain the roots beneath you? Do they lift your ...

The battles you’ve faced do not define you. Yes, they’ve left marks. They’ve stretched you, tested you, and at times felt like they would break you. But they are not the sum of who you are. You are not your scars. You are not the moments that tried ...

There are seasons in life where it feels like you’re swinging at the wind — fighting battles you didn’t ask for, carrying weight you never thought you could hold. Every step forward feels like a step through mud. Every victory, no matter how small, ...

Life has a way of testing you when you least expect it, sometimes through loss, sometimes through growth, and often through both at the same time. Right now, I’m somewhere in between those two places. I’ve spent the last year rebuilding, not just my...

There’s something sacred about showing up, especially when no one’s watching. It’s easy to share our wins. It’s easy to speak from the mountain. But what about those mornings when the weight of life feels like it might bury you? What about the quiet...

Sometimes, we forget just how far we’ve come. We get so focused on where we think we should be, that we overlook the quiet ways we’re growing, healing, and evolving right here and now. If that’s you today, this is your reminder: The person you are i...

There are seasons where everything slows down. Not by choice but by circumstance. The momentum fades, clarity blurs, and what once made sense no longer does. It feels like life pressed pause, and you’re just… stuck in the silence. But I’ve learned s...

It’s wild when I look back, how hard I used to try to earn the kind of love I now realize I was supposed to give myself. The appreciation. The understanding. The feeling of being chosen… without hesitation. I spent a long time trying to prove I was ...
