Recognizing Generational Patterns

Generational patterns are tricky. We are raised in a particular environment and take on certain habits, beliefs, and traits without even realizing it. So steeped are we in our own “normal” that we don’t always see how these patterns are quietly shaping the way we move through life.   But like the elephant in the […]

What My Late ADHD Diagnosis Taught Me

“The Tortoise and The Hare” is a classic parable I think we’ve all heard told at some point in our lives.  The race begins, and the rabbit is confident he will win the race against the slow turtle. He runs ahead and eventually decides he has time to take a quick nap. The turtle keeps […]

What My Sewing Journey Taught Me About Fear and Growth

“Hills peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise” – Alexander Pope   Today, I want to bring you on a journey through time from the spark of a dream in my heart to the moment of realization about 30 years down the road. Now you might think that this is a long time to […]

The Hollow Bone

What does it mean to be a hollow bone? This term is often associated with Shamanic traditions, particularly Native American teachings, and describes how a healer must refine themselves and dissolve the ego in order to become a clear channel through which Spirit can move.   But for me, this concept extends beyond the role […]

When the Shadow Meets the Light

Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Nothing is certain, and change is the most constant thing in our lives, because truly nothing ever stays the same. We are not the same person today as we were yesterday, nor will we be tomorrow. The […]

My Cup Runneth Over

Over-giving can leave us exhausted and disconnected. In this personal story, I share a moment that stands out among many over the years when I struggled with giving too much of myself. Over time, I’ve learned that true connection and self-love begin with filling my own cup.   It was the beginning of my third […]

In the Deepest Winter, the Light Always Returns

Winter Solstice Reflections for December 2025. In life, none of us are immune to change. In the age of social media, life often feels filtered, leaving us with the perception that life is easy for some, yet a struggle for ourselves. I like to think that even all the enlightened masters, both past and present, […]

The Energetics of Fear

I’ve been here many times before. The familiar walls of this dimly lit house close me in from the dark night sky and the hidden landscape that lies beyond the windowpanes. The maze of rooms twists and turns without end. I don’t know exactly where I am, how I got here, or what I’m doing […]

How I’m Overcoming Fear and Imposter Syndrome as a Shamanic Healer

Why am I scared to talk about my work as a Shamanic Healer??? This is a question I struggled with for quite a while, and it was a big reason I delayed starting my business. The truth is, I carried a deep, lingering fear of being the odd kid in town. It’s hard for me […]

A Personal Story of Learning to Walk with Fear

This month, I have found myself reminiscing about life and contemplating my evolution from my early twenties to where I am now. At times, it feels like I’ve become a completely different person, yet I know that we are truly one and the same. Because the truth is, the version of me that exists today […]
