What does my soul want me to know? You’re okay. You’re safe. You’re seen. And while you may not feel entirely fulfilled, you are empowered. That’s the heartbeat of my first book, Come Back Strong. It wasn’t just about returning from a setback. It was...

There’s a certain magic that happens on the bike when everything clicks: my breath, my cadence, my rhythm. I’m not struggling. I’m not pushing. I’m just moving. Fluid. Focused. Free. That’s what athletes call “flow.” For me, it’s where presence meets power. But...

There’s a softness in me that I used to struggle with. A deep-feeling, heart-wide-open softness that shows up in the form of tears, often at the most inopportune moments. For much of my life, I viewed this trait as a liability. A flaw I needed to hide or outgrow....

Have you ever started a new relationship and gotten really excited, so wrapped up in the other person that you quickly became a “we”? The energy, the adventure, the dopamine rushing through your system felt so attractive, so addictive, so intoxicating… so...

Unraveling and Healing the Sister Wound, Masculine Energy, and Finding My Place in the Middle “I know I’m a badass, and yet most days I still lack confidence. But that’s not my truth—that’s my conditioning.” This line has been echoing through me lately, rising from...

It’s 106 degrees here in Las Cruces today. And honestly? I woke up matching the temperature—hot and bothered. Not in a cute, sassy way either. I’m talking about the kind of irritability that shows up before your feet even hit the floor. No real cause. No warning....

Emotions are a choice. Wait—what? That statement might feel a little triggering. Controversial, even. But hear me out. I’m not saying emotions are always easy to manage. Or that you should suppress what you feel. I’m certainly not saying that everything can be fixed...

Stress: It’s everybody’s favorite five-letter word, isn’t it? We all talk about it: “I’m so stressed out.” “I’m overwhelmed.” “I’m fried.” And the consequences? Real. Tears. Irritability. Burnout. Ghosting our friends. Snapping at cashiers. Harming relationships....

Lately, my days have started with deep rest and intentional slowness. A good night’s sleep. A hot beverage on the porch. Time to read, journal, and watch the sun come up. I take a short stroll to the park, kick off my shoes, and stand barefoot in the grass—a grounding...
