Let’s talk about religious trauma...

the kind that’s hard to name but shows up everywhere. In your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of safety.

You’re not being dramatic. You’re not making it up. And you’re definitely not alone.

This post is a starting place, a gentle invitation to explore what healing could look like for you. There’s no one path. But there is a way forward.

Share this with someone who might need it, and if you see yourself in this, I see you too.

I remember that verse about being perfect. The one that goes "be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect." I remember hating myself for the mistakes I made, the human desires I had. I tried desperately to reach that place of holiness.

I finally realized it was an unrealistic goal, and those efforts just caused me shame about my humanity. It fed me a strong self-critical voice. I've come to the understanding that perfectionism isn't the goal of my life. It isn't to be like God.

My values like restoration, healing, equity, safety, and being of service to those in need are what I want in my life. I want to leave the space I'm in just a bit better than how I found it. I learned to embrace flexibility, grace, and being me. ❤️

The question isn’t “which part of me do I reject?” It’s: “Who told me I couldn’t be both?”

You are not too q***r for God. You are not too spiritual for the q***r community. You don’t have to choose between your truth and your traditions.

There’s space for all of you.

To anyone wrestling with this: you’re not alone. 🧡 There’s a community for you. There’s a path forward. There’s a you-shaped space at the intersection of identity and belief.

Not all healing looks like breakthroughs. Sometimes it’s learning how to name your feelings. Sometimes it’s being fully heard for the first time.

This is what therapy has offered me, and maybe it’s what you need too.

When the world is loud, and your thoughts are louder, it can be hard to tune into you.

If questions like “What do I need?” or “What do I want?” feel overwhelming—start smaller.

✨ Get curious instead of critical.
✨ Let your body speak before your brain fills in the blanks.
✨ Honor whatever comes up, even if it’s “I don’t know.”

This is what self-connection actually looks like.

By the way, you don’t have to rush into “new year, new you” mode.

Maybe you're holding grief. Maybe you're working on acceptance. Maybe you're just trying to feel okay in your body.

This season doesn’t need to be about reinventing yourself. It can be about returning to your values. Moving with intention. Resting without guilt. Healing without urgency.

Here's to entering 2026 gently, on your own terms. ✨

🫠 “So… are you seeing anyone?”
😑 “When are you going to have kids?”
😩 “What even is your job again?”

If even reading these made you flinch, this one’s for you.

Whether it’s the holidays, a family reunion, or just brunch with a boundary-pushing friend, it’s okay to:
✔️ Not explain yourself.
✔️ Protect your energy.
✔️ Practice responses that feel good before you’re in the moment.

Let’s normalize the art of not answering ✨ everything ✨ in 2026.
Save this post for your next “you still haven’t...” moment.

Today is Trans Youth Day, a day to pause, affirm, and act.

Trans youth aren’t “brave” just for existing. They’re brilliant, creative, resilient, and worthy of thriving without having to fight for it.

We see you. We’re with you. We’re committed to building spaces of healing and belonging, together. 🖤

If you're spending tonight exactly how you want to -- amazing! If you're navigating messy family dynamics, complicated feelings, or holding a little grief -- you aren't alone.

There’s no one right way to be in this season. Joy can look like keeping the tradition of making chocolate matcha cookies. Peace can look like not going to a Christmas church service. Connection can look like choosing yourself and people you choose.

Here’s to quiet joy, full laughs, warm food, safe spaces, and being exactly where you are. Wishing you a gentle, meaningful, and whatever-you-need-it-to-be kind of Christmas. ✨

Feeling off lately? Your brain might just need a little support.

When dopamine is low, everyday tasks feel heavier. This menu offers your nervous system something to work with. Pick one. See how it feels. That’s enough. 💚

Your q***r and trans loved ones aren’t statistics or headlines. They’re human beings navigating systems that weren’t built with them in mind.

Let’s show up with care, not commentary.
With presence, not pressure.
With warmth, not worry.

And if you’re the one carrying the weight today: You’re not alone. We see you. We love you.

💛 Priscilla
