Stop living on autopilot

Hi dear Reader, When was the last time you felt truly clear about what you want? Not what you should want. Not what others expect. Not what makes logical sense. What YOU actually want. If you’re struggling to answer, that's ok, you’re not alone. Confusion. Uncertainty. Stuckness. That feeling of “I don’t know who I am anymore” or “I don’t know what I want.” This isn’t a crisis. It’s a signal of a lost connection to yourself. And today, in our final email of this 8-week journey, we’re going to...

Hello dear Reader Do you find yourself surrounded by people and still feel alone? Friends. Family. Colleagues. A partner. Yet inside, there's this persistent feeling:"Nobody truly sees me. Nobody really gets me." That feeling is a signal. Your soul is calling you back to authenticity. To the real you that's been hiding beneath the surface. Loneliness isn't always about being alone. It's about being disconnected from yourself. And when you're disconnected from who you truly are, no amount of...

Hi dear Reader, When sadness shows up, what do you do? Do you push it away? Numb it with work, scrolling, or staying busy?Do you tell yourself to “stay positive” or “get over it”? Or do you let yourself feel it? Here’s a question for you: When was the last time you let yourself cry? If you can’t remember, or if the answer makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Most of us were never taught how to be with sadness. We were taught to avoid, suppress, or shame ourselves for feeling it. But...

Hi dear Reader, Do you find yourself often snapping at your partner, yelling at your kids, feeling resentful toward colleagues, or envious of strangers?These emotions or reactions fall within the anger family. Most people don't realize anger isn't a single emotion—it's a family of related feelings: frustration, resentment, envy, irritation, rage, and more. Each one carries a slightly different message about what's happening inside you.When you learn to identify which emotion you're actually...

Hi dear Reader, There’s an emotion that most people never name out loud - yet feel it often, mostly unconsciously. An emotion that makes you want to disappear, hide, shrink into nothing.An emotion so powerful that it shapes your relationships, sabotages your success, and keeps you from the life you truly want. That emotion is shame. And if you’ve ever felt like there’s something fundamentally wrong with you, like you’re not worthy of love, success, or belonging just as you are, then shame...

Hi dear Reader, Just a few years ago, I did not sleep more than 5 hours a night.I’d text people into the late hours, scrolling, chatting, doing anything to avoid being with my thoughts. Now I know that was my way of running away from myself. Being alone with my emotions and my rushing thoughts felt unbearable. My inner critic was harsh and judgmental. The feelings of loneliness and regret/guilt were too overwhelming to allow deep, restful sleep. Does this sound familiar? Lying awake, mind...

Hi dear, I want to take a moment to acknowledge something that might feel too heavy or embarrassing to say out loud: You are exhausted. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. Not the physical fatigue that comes from a long day. A different kind of exhausted. A deep exhaustion that comes from carrying too many emotions, navigating too many decisions, and feeling like you're drowning in a sea of "what ifs" and "should haves." I see you. Are you: Waking up feeling (emotionally) overwhelmed...

Hi beautiful soul, Summer has always been my season for going deeper. There’s something about the longer days and slower pace that invites reflection, doesn’t there? This year, instead of sharing the typical “beach reads” (I have not read this since 2018 😊) I'd like to share something more personal: the books that have genuinely transformed my life and helped me navigate my journey from burnout, dissatisfaction, and frustration to authenticity, joy, and freedom. These aren’t just books I...
