Not everything a culture says is healthy is true. — We’re done. Mostly. I hit a pressure point with my father after years of trying to heal our relationship and find a good way for us to connect. And now, I’ll continue without him. I plan on keeping in contact with him, but I’m no longer seeking validation, support, or…

The translation between physiological and psychological change — What type of physical training do you do? How often do you do it? How ‘in-shape’ are you compared to 10 years ago? 20 years ago? I’m not judging you…I’m just creating a starting point for our conversation. I was 5'3" and 114 pounds when I was fifteen. Back then…

This is how to shatter the mask that controls you. — I’m going to be blunt for a second… And you need to be very honest with yourself. You need to sit and question. Then question your first response. Then probably your second and your third. You need to dig. Is the person you are now unrecognizable from the person that…

Will we always be in love with our gifts? — When you tell someone your aspirations and dreams, what do they say? “Do what you love, but only as a hobby.

Who gets to hear your words and decide if what you create is valid? It’s not what others think first, it’s what you do. So, who are you? The…

How do we get rid of that chronic pain? — Picture the heart… Cold. Unbeating. Heavy. Sinking. How could it be that we can feel so dark and miserable? How did we find ourselves here with this energy? What is this state of mind that makes us physically rigid, mentally exhausted, and spiritually in a drought? It’s this space that…

It’s not them, it’s you. — My heart hurts some days. And on those days, I can never truly pinpoint what it is. I get lost in myself trying to assess it and release its hold on me. But is it supposed to hurt? What is it? Is it the grind? Is it financial instability? …

Why would you want anything else? — Pink, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Joan of Arc, Shania Twain… Forget your opinions of them. Yeah, they’re all physically attractive, but what about how attractive they are as icons and movers of industry? I don’t get it. I never have. That’s not true…I do know what it was like to…
