Learning to sit with the deepest emotions in trust has become my anchor — I have a lot of conversations around trauma and the nature of healing. It’s something I’ve been actively doing since I was 19, maybe even earlier if I was to include the somatic healing I was unknowingly doing in running and being in the woods. However, the last 6 years…

In a world where we’re taught to ignore our bodies' cues and manipulate them into a certain shape, learning to reconnect to my body and trust myself saved me — Back in 2018, out of desperation I caved and took the Setraline.

I guess this makes this a bit of a note to self. I am feeling exhausted right now. It’s taking a hot…

The Only Way I Can Describe It Is I Feel Like An Island — When I found out I was autistic, after my daughter's own diagnosis, everything made sense.

I’m a big fan of the professionals coming out of traditional structures and sharing their valuable knowledge and experience — This post has Amazon Affiliate links where I share the books I found valuable in my own healing journey, all views and book recommendations are my own.

If social media is killing your creativity — move. Please don’t stop creating. — I returned to Medium after a long break and shared a piece of writing on my thoughts and experiences with trauma healing. It made me over $100 in a week since it had been published and what’s more — I had around 40 very touching responses to my writing which…
