    Peeling Back

    I’m Done Hoarding What No Longer Serves Me Lately, I’ve been peeling back layers—some intentionally, others by force. Each layer uncovers something new: trauma that was done to me… and if I’m honest, some that I’ve inflicted on myself. It’s been uncomfortable. Necessary. Healing. I found myself surrounded by what I now call “organized chaos.” Things that once held meaning or purpose, stacked neatly in my life like trophies. But lately, I had to ask myself—do these things still serve me? And more importantly, do I still serve them? We hold onto stuff—physical, emotional, spiritual—just to prove we survived something. Or that we accomplished something. We keep people around because…

You know the kind: You remember their birthday, their interview, their breakdown from three Tuesdays ago. They forget your name when they’re busy. You send long texts, voice notes, lifelines. They reply with dry “okays” and emojis—or not at all. You love out loud. They stay on mute. You give grace. They give breadcrumbs. That kind of relationship? It’s a slow erosion of self.

    Naked Doesn’t Mean Weak!

    Naked Doesn’t Mean Weak We’ve been taught to cover up. To protect. To perform strength.Smile when we’re broken. Keep going when we’re empty.

And I am still worthy. We confuse vulnerability with weakness because society glorifies pretending. We were praised for holding it together, not…

In a world that constantly pulls us in a million directions, it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves. With our stillness. With our center. That’s why we have to be intentional about carving out space — physical, emotional, and spiritual — where peace can live and grow. That space is sacred.And it starts within. What Is a Sacred Space? A sacred space isn’t always a yoga mat or a meditation corner (though it can be).It’s not about crystals or candles or silence — unless those…
