🗣️ Last Thursday, SAW had the honor of speaking at Stillwater Prison.

I stood in front of 60 men and we didn’t talk about punishment
We talked about power.
Not power over others…

But the power of choice and the power of control two things that trauma tries to strip from us.

We talked about how:
🔁 Trauma rewires our brains.
🧠 It influences our decisions, our coping, and our reactions.

📌 But every single day, we still get to wake up and choose:
To do better
To be better
To live better
To choose better

And while those small choices might seem minor in the moment, they build up over time.
They create ripple effects giant ones.
For better or for worse.

I asked for 3 takeaways from our time together. Here’s what they gave back:
1️⃣ “I am in control of myself.”
2️⃣ “Officers and staff go through things too.”
3️⃣ “Accountability is everything.”
4️⃣ “Your vulnerability makes me feel okay being vulnerable”

That’s growth. That’s healing. That’s real change starting inside a space most people count out.
We don’t do this work for applause.
We do it to plant seeds. And Thursday 60 seeds were planted.

Thank you Stillwater for having me.
Thank you to those who listened, shared, and chose to be present.

This is what SAW stands for.
Every voice matters.
Every story counts.
Every moment can lead to change.

Some days, it’s not about chasing a “cup of ambition.”
Some days, you just need to stumble into the kitchen, grab a biscuit or two, and sit with yourself.

Because healing doesn’t always look like hustling.
Sometimes it looks like breathing.

Sometimes it looks like saying, “I’m just okay today” and letting that be enough. 💛

✨ You don’t have to prove your strength.
✨ You don’t have to be “on” all the time.
✨ You’re allowed to slow down.
✨ You’re allowed to simply be.

Today, give yourself permission to rest.

Give yourself grace for wherever you are on the journey. And remember: you still hold the power.

Even in stillness, even in softness you are in control of your path.
Dolly was on to something with that song.

But today… I’m choosing biscuits over ambition. And that’s more than enough.
