Send us a text What if the most powerful force holding you back isn't external criticism but the silent voice within that whispers "I'm not enough"? In this vulnerable and illuminating conversation, we unpack the complex emotion of shame—that intensely painful feeling of believing we're fundamentally flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. Drawing inspiration from Brené Brown's groundbreaking work, we explore the crucial distinction between guilt ("I did something bad") and sham...

The treasure isn't reaching the destination—it's who we be...

Send us a text Have you ever wondered why we often save our deepest expressions of love until after someone is gone? In this tender reflection, I explore the bittersweet human tendency to eulogize in death more than we celebrate in life. We journey through three relationship patterns that shape our emotional landscape—the unreciprocated friendship where we give more than we receive, the "almost tribe" connections that begin with perfect alignment only to reveal fundamental differences, and t...
