Behind every window is a story you might not see, and a burden you might not know someone is carrying. You never know what someone is going through.

Today is , a reminder that you don’t need to be an expert to listen, sometimes being there is enough. One conversation might not solve everything, but it lets someone know they aren't facing their "behind-the-scenes" alone.

Who are you checking in on today?

I am not neutral. I will always be on the side of common decency and due process for everyone. I believe in the golden rule. Hatred has no home here.

Neutrality and silence are statements

This is the season I am currently in. How about you?

There are moments when slowing down feels like falling behind, but it is often the opposite. Life has a way of asking you to pause when something inside you needs space to breathe, integrate, or finally be felt. This is not a punishment. It is an invitation to stop outrunning your own becoming.

Some growth cannot keep pace with constant motion. It needs stillness, patience, and your willingness to listen instead of push. When you allow yourself to move at the speed of meaning, you begin to notice what has been waiting for you all along.

Slowing down is sometimes how you finally arrive.

In these trying times, we must have courageous conversations about these important things.

This!

🧘‍♂️ Identity requires solitude.

If you never sit with your own thoughts, you’ll end up wearing the labels other people hand you.

Silence is uncomfortable because it exposes the truth: most of us don’t know what we actually want, we only know what we’ve been told to want.

Growth happens when you pause the noise long enough to hear yourself.

Stillness is not laziness. It is self-respect.

The world will happily define you if you never bother to define yourself.

Healing often looks like starting over again and again...

Let’s teach little girls to set and hold boundaries and little boys to honor and accept those boundaries. Lets teach everyone what consent is and why it must always be the bare minimum.

This, of course, goes for all our little ones, boys and girls alike, BUT unfortunately it does tend to apply to girls more often; especially previous generations like mine.

Asserting ourselves? Setting healthy boundaries? Forget about it. If only these were things that I was taught. Things that were celebrated. Personally, what was drilled into me was, “be polite & quiet, don’t rock the boat, maintain your manners” and of course we can’t forget the “be a ‘good’ girl.”

I’m obviously not saying that one shouldn’t be polite and have manners… just that we should know to never leave ourselves behind in the process. To know that expressing ourselves, taking up space, setting healthy boundaries, doing what is best for ourselves, and so on, is not only okay, but vital to living a healthy and balanced life.

Being taught this allows us to stay in our power and can help prevent us from entering unhealthy relationships, keeps us grounded in our self-worth, and opens up a world of endless possibilities to us. Even as adults we have the power to replace these old, worn out narratives and reclaim our power. It’ll take work, and there will be some bumps along the way, but it’s so worth it! WE are so worth it!
