Caregiving is one of the hardest, most isolating experiences a person can go through—and yet, it’s often misunderstood, overlooked, or wrapped in a neat little bow for the sake of making it easier to talk about. This series is about breaking through that silence. It’s about telling the truth—the good, the bad, and the partsContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About”

A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing
The Post That Sparked This Discussion I’ve been seeing more and more posts like this one, and frankly, it’s exhausting. The comment sections are often filled with people (rightfully) holding the individuals accountable for their behavior, but what’s missing in these discussions is any consideration for what led them here or useful correspondence. Especially ifContinueContinue reading “A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing”
Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out
I came across a post on X today that deeply resonated with me. It perfectly articulated something I’ve been reflecting on (and sharing with you, from other perspectives) a lot lately—how once we awaken, grow, or “level up,” we often feel like we no longer fit in. But the truth is, we aren’t meant toContinueContinue reading “Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out”
The Sacred Energy Exchange: Reclaiming the Divine Power of Sex
Not long ago, we shared a post about the sacredness of sexuality and sex as an act after being so moved by the story we read about the young woman who was making a mockery of the act by attempting to gain a Guinness World Record for the number of men slept with by aContinueContinue reading “The Sacred Energy Exchange: Reclaiming the Divine Power of Sex”
Broken, But Not Destroyed: What Every Sacred Text Says About Suffering
There comes a point where suffering isn’t just something you go through—it becomes you. Where life strips away everything you thought you were, everything you thought you had, and leaves you standing in the wreckage, wondering if you were ever real to begin with. And what then? What do you do when you aren’t justContinueContinue reading “Broken, But Not Destroyed: What Every Sacred Text Says About Suffering”
The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You
Sometimes it’s not that someone is disrespecting you, but they are treating you in a way they wouldn’t treat someone they respect. (Jared Mello) Read that again. At first glance, this quote is about how people treat us—how they reveal their level of respect (or lack thereof) through their actions. But if we stop there,ContinueContinue reading “The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You”
Random Reflections: The Tug-of-War Between Past and Future
This post is a “random reflection” inspired by a quote I came across tonight while preparing for meditation: The person attempting to travel two roads at once will get nowhere. (Xun Zi) This quote struck me deeply because it perfectly captures the inner conflict we create when we try to move forward while clinging toContinueContinue reading “Random Reflections: The Tug-of-War Between Past and Future”
When the Fight Feels Endless: On Relapse, Abuse, and Grief
Life has a way of testing us in unimaginable ways, often leaving us feeling broken, lost, and questioning the very point of it all. Whether you’re fighting to stay sober, wrestling with the shadows of abuse, or trying to make sense of grief that refuses to ease, these battles can feel insurmountable. If you’re here,ContinueContinue reading “When the Fight Feels Endless: On Relapse, Abuse, and Grief”
Reflection: Living with a Strong Spiritual Foundation
Over the past few days, we’ve explored essential tools for building and maintaining a strong spiritual foundation. We began with grounding practices, such as spending time in nature, breathing deeply to anchor ourselves, and visualizing our connection to God through His creation. These practices help us feel rooted and present, strengthening our awareness of HisContinueContinue reading “Reflection: Living with a Strong Spiritual Foundation”
The Rot Before the Resurrection: When God Lets You Break to Build You Back (A Testament to God’s Promises)
What do you do when your life feels like it’s crumbling into dust, and God seems silent? Sometimes, it feels like He’s letting you rot—but what if that decay is the first step toward new life? Now, consider this: What if God is not silent at all? What if He’s speaking in a language thatContinueContinue reading “The Rot Before the Resurrection: When God Lets You Break to Build You Back (A Testament to God’s Promises)”
