Beyond Gratitude, Mantras and Mood Boards
If you have ever rolled your eyes mid-meditation or felt secretly broken because your “practice” did not stick, we are soul sisters. The problem is not you and it is not me. The problem is trying to quiet Doubt Goblins™ while life still feels chaotic, something I wrestled with for most of my adult life.
Does this sound familiar?
You made gratitude lists, poured your heart into journals you never opened again …
The Beauty That Time Can’t Touch
Beauty is the first thing the world measures in a woman, whether she consents to the measurement or not. When I was a younger, thinner, smoother version of myself, aging felt like something theoretical. I didn’t appreciate the symmetry of my face or the curve of my hips or the cush in my tush.
That’s the thing about youth: it feels permanent when you’re standing inside it and prescient when you’re not.
Perfection is Just Fear in a Better Outfit
I wrote this a decade ago, before I had language for what was happening. It’s a reflection on perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the quiet moment a woman stops asking for permission, trusts herself, and recognizes that the life she’s lived is still unfolding.
