> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #32: paradox

It’s wild to think about the number of signs and gentle nudges, the deep thoughts and meaningful readings, the situational awareness and the emotional intelligence that this world brings; yet, it feels like existing in this perplexing paradox — one filled with moments of sadness and hope, of misconceptions and comprehension, of fear and love.

And through the negativity of the news and the justification of judgement, the half truths and the self-preservation, it makes sense why this space feels heavy… as if the goal is to create so much anxiety that we have no other option but to shut down, shut off, shut out. We have less grace for humanness and more insecurity, because we’ve had an overreactive nervous system, unsure about the future while the divide continues to syphon our compassion.

But maybe this is where we solidify our endless supply of hope, believing the storm ends, infusing kindness back into humanity, instinctively seeking joy rather than judgment, strengthening the muscles in our every day to make the world a little better because we stopped long enough to listen to the devastation this world causes while generating assurance for one to continue forward.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #31: duality

I’ve been living in this space of procrastination, of holding my breath for the next decision out of my control, of navigating this emotional turbulence of life, of digging deep to find grace for humans who rapidly justify without context. And I’ve thought too many times about the depth of decisions, the critical need for hope, and the desire for the calm amongst the chaos.

And in this heightened space, my mind tries to decipher and seek on a deeper level, intentionally working to be more present during every minute of every day — never knowing how many minutes this lifetime will afford me. But the days are passing by in hyper speed, realizing the rapidness mostly when the blueberries in my fridge have withered.

So in a conversation with one of my favorite humans, she shared a piece of wisdom from her mentor. And I never asked to clarify the context — it was a moment of cherished curiosity, one where I received what I needed. Her mentor said: find peace in the wait/weight.

But here’s the thing — I have no idea which word he used. Was it “wait,” as in the peace found in patience, in living in the present tense? Or was it “weight,” the kind that comes with carrying burdens, with learning to find stillness beneath heaviness? Either way, I felt it.. the duality of meaning.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #30: growth spurt

I’ve spent a lot of energy thinking about the timing of this message… because it took a while for me to figure out what was happening internally. And with the heaviness of this nation — the fear of the unknown, the blatant inequity that initiates justification of self-preservation and deepens the division in treating humans with dignity and grace — it felt easier to just postpone this lesson laced with gratitude and hope.

You see, I found myself recalling the “unhealthy” state of my life over the last few months, feeling off balance and out of alignment. But when I said unhealthy out loud, it didn’t feel like the correct description of my experience. I realized how many lessons were coming at rapid speed, generating high demand on my internal narrative and worldview. And unpacking the memories of what I thought had been a rough valley filled with uncertainty and darkness, I realized it was just the next level: a growth spurt designed to give more, love more, create more.

Because when the world feels off balance, we have to dig deep to be more hopeful, more faithful, and more grateful. The light will always overpower the darkness… and, more than ever, we need to shine brightly.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #29: curiosity

I’ve been preparing for an upcoming speech, one where I know the audience will shape my perspective and impact the way I navigate the world. While I feel no pressure or forced preparation, I couldn’t sleep the other night because I was thinking about all the ways I wanted to highlight the importance of the topic — but not for the sake of the audience; rather, I likely need to internalize my anticipated words.

So as I’m lying in bed, I start thinking about the wonder of curiosity — the way it shapes my emotions, my actions, and my worldview. And as clear as can be, I realized how curiosity creates distance between judgment. When I stay curious, I am less likely to jump to an immediate conclusion or react out of anger/fear/anxiety. I can create separation to better employ my executive functioning, allowing empathy and grace to hold space in each interaction. I become more understanding and begin thinking creatively, filling my mind with possibility and awe. I allow myself to be present and patient, to be compassionate and caring.

While there is so much heaviness in this world, my hope is you, too, can find the brilliance in curiosity — even if it is for the benefit of your own nervous system, which will create a ripple effect for those in your orbit.

Five years.

When I was driving the other day, I thought about how far I was behind in writing posts for year five… like “haven’t even started and am still working through year four” behind. It was another weight I carried, documenting the value in being human through my experiential lens. I reminded myself how dedicated I said I’d be to creating space for my thoughts, drafting memories that I knew I’d need later in the journey, crafting hope that others could borrow.

But then this wave of peace came over me, gifting me with grace and alleviating an expectation that was only enforced by me. That moment allowed some breathing room, knowing that my thoughts determine my reality — reflecting on the way endless to do lists make life feel forced, and remembering how feeling pressured was never the purpose.

And in that moment, I acknowledged the lesson that I needed the most: sometimes the very thing you set out to do teaches you a different lens of intentionality. There is deep value in beginning again with new guidelines and parameters, creating a gentleness with yourself that you also hope to give the world.

To another year of meaning and gratitude, of lessons and growth — thank you for being.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #28: suffering

One of my favorite humans was sharing wisdom from a recent conversation about love languages. The timeliness of the conversation coupled well with my cycling thoughts about loving humans well — through crisis, after poor decisions, during emotional turbulence.

Her recollection of the conversation described acts of service as “the intention of decreasing someone’s suffering.” Imagine a world where we intentionally noticed and acted to create more favorable conditions for those around us, weaving grace and acceptance in the presence of shame or failure. Imagine crafting a space for humans to take off their armor, feeling safe and cared for because another human alleviated the internal battle for a brief moment. Or imagine how unconditional this love language may feel if we allowed another in that space, explaining the intricacies of our suffering without the fear of judgement.

My hope is you find someone who loves you well in this language, decreasing your suffering because you deserve to experience it… no matter what.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #27: rooted

For the past few months, I’ve created my own writer’s block; it’s like a massive barrier of overwhelm shifted my energy, suspending thoughts in my brain. I’ll read something or have a conversation with an inspiring human, think through the essence of the wisdom, and then allow it to exist in a purgatory of my mind… coexisting with guilt because I know I will need to re-read these messages again at some point in my journey.

And then, I remembered a reoccurring word that has been circulating my orbit over the past few months: rooted. It felt ironic to see this word so often because I’ve been feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and reactive. It’s like my lungs were only working part-time, creating a destructive cycle of busyness without intentionality. But when I slowed down enough, I finally recognized the importance of the repetition — I needed to trust and ground, know and stay rooted.

May we stay searching for gentle reminders, designed to propel us into a softer existence.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #26: promise

One of my most favorite humans turned a year older. And even though I haven’t seen her for a while, I listened to a song on repeat — to celebrate and to honor her.

These lyrics create a deep sense of gratitude for our friendship, one that I know was divinely crafted.

“I promise to make sure you’ll never fall far from your grace

I hope that you know you are never too far from your purpose

I hope you receive it wherever you are

I’m so thankful I’ve got you”

To another year of searching for the very best parts of life… together. For always.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #25: rest

For the first time that I can remember, I actively put my responsibilities on pause and rested. I practiced mindfulness each time I thought about work or good human. I reframed the way I typically run through my list of things to do or humans I need to check on. I avoided clicking on any apps that may have created turbulence in my disconnect.

Then, I realized how fortunate I was to do so — how blessed I am to have my mom care for Z in the most loving way, filling him with treats and arranging his throne of toys; how lucky I am to have a team who encouraged the pause and protected my time away from the office; how grateful I am to have clients who understand the intentionality of this time away from the studio.

And then I thought about the luxury of this pause, the inability for some humans to take a recharge because of the demands of life or the difficulty to sit in the silence. But this sadness can coexist with gratitude… because that is what makes life so complicated and curious, so intricate and inspiring. It’s this sliding scale of emotions that feel so real to us in our interactions or in our minds, forcing us to stay present enough to give ourselves permission to rest, recharge, and refuel.

My hope is you also have the opportunity to take a pause, one with intentional rest.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #24: evolve

These past six months have been loaded with reflection, both internal and external. They have been laced with growing pains, both emotional and spiritual. They have been coated with gratitude, both for the lessons I’ve learned and the wisdom I’ve gained.

And even though the journey never feels easier, the lessons became more intentional and the peace came quicker. Maybe because of the humans in my orbit, the passion that fuels my soul work, the ability to calm my nervous system; or maybe because of the smallest reminders, like whipped cream on Z’s nose or the sweet synchronicities that leave nothing to coincidence.

This life is wildly unpredictable… but I am thankful to be in this time and space, sorting out the ways to evolve — allowing each day to look and feel differently, on purpose and filled with intention, for the rest of my days.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #23: care

A couple of months ago, I received an email from a student who said, “Thank you for still caring and checking in on me.” The words echoed in my head for a long while because I am constantly reminded the importance of this work, the ease of giving and receiving feelings of gratitude, the belief that hope changes everything.

While the number of humans needing support and attention increases, the journey feels more collective, more reciprocal, more intentional — because humans deserve to be in community, need to be loved, and thrive in safe spaces. And in the moments that feel the heaviest, I am quickly reminded of the humans who have been strategically placed in my path, offering to shoulder the weight. For them, I am constantly grateful.

My hope is you have those humans who deeply care for you, without conditions, who have your well-being in mind to allow you to be your best self in this space.

> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #22: grow

I’ve spent the past several months intentionally growing, self-reflecting, and being present. It’s created numerous opportunities for me to learn various versions of lessons, each coming through with a unique twist and volume… especially when it takes me a while to recognize the gift.

And then I read this newsletter from James Clear about growth. His question gave me space to exhale: “There are two ways to grow: by adding or by shedding. Do you need to add something or do you need to shed something?”

Maybe things felt heavy because shedding never fit into my conversation about growth. Maybe I bought into the narrative of “do more, be more, achieve more” rather than understanding the power of subtraction. But more importantly — maybe I’ve been carrying outdated narratives, inaccurate assumptions, and unrealistic expectations.

So if life feels overwhelming, heavy, stagnant, lonely, hopeless — may you give yourself permission to shed all the things no longer serving you in order to propel you into a growing season.
