The Importance of Asking (the Right) Questions
We often stamp a day as bad without realizing we skipped the most important step—asking questions. By breaking a harsh conclusion into gentler questions, we can widen our perspective, soften our bodies, and reclaim a sense of choice. This practice isn’t about perfection; it’s about building a kinder relationship with ourselves, one small question at a time.
When Anger Is Sacred: Letting Go of the Performance of Being ‘Okay’
We’re often taught that anger is something to suppress—especially if we want to be seen as kind, calm, or “put together.” But what if anger isn’t the problem?

In this post, I explore the quieter dimensions of loneliness, how our past shapes our sense of belonging, and what healing can look like when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves and start relating to our complexity with compassion.
