The Many Faces of Uncertainty

We often imagine uncertainty as a single, looming shadow, as though it were one vast fog obscuring the road ahead. But uncertainty is not monolithic. It is more like a shifting landscape, sometimes a dense forest, sometimes an open sky, sometimes an ocean with tides that carry us in directions we can not predict. ToContinue reading “The Many Faces of Uncertainty”

A Letter to My Body

Dear Body, I see you. I know I haven’t always treated you with the tenderness you deserve. Growing up, no one told me about good touch, bad touch, or even the simple changes you would go through. You felt like a mystery, and I didn’t always know how to honour you. As I grew older,Continue reading “A Letter to My Body”

Scarcity Mindset: The Ancient Story Our Minds Still Tell

For much of human history, life was uncertain. Our ancestors lived through harsh seasons, unpredictable harvests, and the constant possibility of losing what they had.

When Strength is Misunderstood

I have always carried a deep respect for individual differences. I never wanted to impose my way of thinking or living on those I love. Yet, despite this, I often found myself misunderstood. My family sometimes saw me as opinionated, bossy, or strong-headed. Those words have weighed heavily on me, not because I saw myselfContinue reading “When Strength is Misunderstood”

A Letter to Myself – Reclaiming My Agency

I see the pain you carried when you were left waiting, waiting for love, waiting for touch, waiting for your husband to notice and choose you.

Forgiveness as a Path to Reclaiming Power

Forgiveness is often misunderstood as weakness, as if letting go of resentment means excusing the wrong that was done to us. In reality, forgiveness requires immense internal strength. To forgive is to reclaim the power that pain, betrayal, and anger once held over us. When someone deceives or betrays us, it can feel like theyContinue reading “Forgiveness as a Path to Reclaiming Power”

The myth of sacrifice in relationships

Somewhere along the line, I, too, believed that sacrifice was the mark of true commitment in relationships. I thought love meant putting my needs aside, letting go of parts of myself, and carrying the weight in silence just to keep the bond intact. For a while, I convinced myself this was strength, loyalty, and evenContinue reading “The myth of sacrifice in relationships”
