Okay I don’t know where this fits in (certainly not with anything I’m “supposed” to be doing today, lol) but I’d like to take a sec to explore something, and potentially suggest a decoupling of sorts. There’s an idea that is very prevalent in healing spaces, particularly therapeutic settings, that if someone respects themselves, theyContinue reading “Is it really about self-respect?”

A recent conversation with a friend brought to mind the overlap between organized religion & the mental health system. In both of them, you’ll find representatives or “agents of the ststem” using a chosen text to determine other peoples’ level of either virtue or mental well-being. However, I’ve noticed something: The more healed I become,Continue reading “Overlap between organized religion and the mental health system”

This is a post from an influencer I follow who’s sharing about his upcoming Awakened Masculine Program. It scrolled across my social media feed this morning and reminded me of how I’ve majorly changed what I’m looking for in a partner in the past year or two. Sidenote: notice I titled this entry “updating,” asContinue reading “Updating my criteria 🤓”

Im taking a break from the more serious posts to share a recent knitting project and guinea pig photo shoot 🙃 The knitting “project” was actually just an inventory of all my yarn and half-finished scarves. ..I realized I buy new yarn and needles nearly every time I travel; with the exception of the recentContinue reading “Birthing our gifts”

I felt compelled to write a follow-up entry to my Dec 27th one on religious trauma, particularly in reference to the Christian Purity Movement. Over the past few months, I’ve had a few conversations with parents about what to teach children instead of the shame-based curriculum that’s so prevalent in religious settings. This is interestingContinue reading “Religious trauma part 2”

These pictures are from a store in downtown Austin called Succulent Native. I didn’t tag it because the thoughts expressed in this post aren’t reflective of the store owner or staff (just to be clear) 🙃 I do highly recommend stopping in if you’re ever in the area, though 🪷✨️ A few thoughts for peopleContinue reading “Staying open”

In this week’s edition of “Everything is fake, evil, and trying to kill us. ..” Jk, but seriously 🙃🤦‍♀️ Music has frequency! It can either help us heal or detract from our life force. This post is speaking specifically about 444hz, which has been shown to calm the nervous system & elicit a healing responseContinue reading “The frequency of music”

The mistreatment -particularly the silencing- of women throughout history has been really up for me the past month or so, to the point where I’ve had visceral responses to a recent non-fiction book, discussion of a TV show I haven’t seen (HT), or just little triggers that have popped up in my daily life. WhileContinue reading “Ancestral wisdom coming through”

I have a flexible day and was hoping to finish the blog entries I mentioned last week. It seems that the quickest way to ensure I never revisit a topic is to sign off with “more to come,” or “stay tuned.” 😂 Neurodivergent people: is this what they mean by PDA, or pathological demand avoidance-Continue reading “Our natural state”

“You are my Ayahuasca.” This line came to me last year in reference to someone I was dating. We joked that our time together was like a psychedelic experience in that we could be really intense, would require time to integrate, and would usually emerge stronger and seemingly upgraded as a result of our timeContinue reading “On travel, gridwork, and soul braids”
