My latest Substack post is all about how I created calm in the chaos… and the thing that happens when you heal that no one really talks about.

Something no one really talks about is that healing doesn’t feel the same as happy. At least not the happy we adapt to when we’re living in survival mode. Instead of chasing the next high, my life has transformed into a steady drip of contentment. I have become a calm in the chaos… rather

Getting out the door... not an emergency. And yet... When my mental load is heavy, I tend to suddenly convince myself that I have to be: ✅ Stressed out ✅ Anxious ✅ Angry AF at everyone around me What I usually need is: 🫶🏽 A checklist 🫶🏽 To ask for help 🫶🏽 A deep breath and a gentle remi

What most people don’t know is that I’ve had mild panic attacks after reaching 100,000 followers. And while we glamorize having so many people “adore” us, what we forget is that it’s not possible to authentically connect with that many people. I suppose followers feel a connection, but it’s s

Ever since I was young, I have tried to have a mindset of faith. Faith that things were working out even when it seemed like they weren’t. I told myself big setbacks, heartaches and deleted essays were all a part of the plan. And you know what? Life hasn’t disappointed me yet. I can tra

In life I think you’ll notice that most people fall into 2 large categories: 👉🏽The Life is Out to Get Me category of people who are quick to find struggles and setbacks. 👉🏽The “It’s Not So Bad” category of people who have been through some real shit and shrugged most of it off. If you fall

Creating a slow burn lifestyle is one where you meet your goals and accomplish big things without giving up naps and rest. Some of the greatest women in history like Marie Curie and Maya Angelou were open about how walking, breaks, and rest played a HUGE role in their creative breakthroughs.

I had this weird realization that my favorite memories with my kids happened during nap time. Even though none of us were present in the “real world.” I had to pause and ask myself why… Why were THOSE the moments that stuck? And I realized it’s because life outside of nap time is busy a
