Being pissed off feels powerful. But psychologically and spiritually, it’s a trap. Here’s what your brain and your Bible both know about anger, resentment, and why surrender is the most powerful thing you can do.

Authenticity Unveiled: AI Therapy Apps Are Gaslighting Women and This Needs to Stop
When Liven’s Instagram ad told women that anxiety at 47 has “little to do with menopause” and is “all trauma from the past,” I didn’t just disagree. I recognized it for what it is: gaslighting dressed in wellness language, targeting women at their most vulnerable. This is my story, the science they’re ignoring, and why AI therapy apps are a specific kind of harm.
The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me
There’s a term from developmental biology that stuck with me the first time I heard it: chreode. It describes a kind of groove—a well-worn path of least resistance that cells tend to follow during development. Once they start down that track, the path becomes harder to exit. It shapes them. Defines them. Holds them inContinueContinue reading “The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me”
The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much
Earlier today, I came across yet another post online where someone was asking, “Why are so many people laughing during this?” The context was tragic—something serious had happened, and yet, the reactions captured on video were bizarrely out of sync with the gravity of the moment. People were laughing. Filming. Spectating like it was aContinueContinue reading “The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much”
Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up
In my last post, I talked about how spirituality as a whole is undergoing a massive transformation — a death and rebirth — as the old structures of religion collapse under their own weight. As that crumbling accelerates, many people are waking up to the need for something deeper, something real. But rebuilding true spiritualContinueContinue reading “Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up”
Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression
I actually wrote this last week—but didn’t post it. I am posting it now, late, because God wouldn’t let me keep it buried. I didn’t post it because I was afraid. Genuinely afraid. Not because I didn’t believe it was true, but because I’ve been conditioned to be afraid of my own truth. Conditioned toContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Ache That Was Never Depression”
What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Many Layers of Grief in Caregiving
Caregiving is a profound, sacred journey that takes us through various emotional, physical, and spiritual landscapes. Yet, one of the most complex and often misunderstood aspects of caregiving is the grief that caregivers experience. This grief is not just tied to the death of a loved one but begins long before that final loss. AndContinueContinue reading “What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Many Layers of Grief in Caregiving”
What Caregiving Is Really Like (Series): The Truth No One Talks About
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”
From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence
This morning, I was ready to chuck my laptop out the window. Seriously—technical difficulties had me so worked up I could’ve screamed, except I was too busy wrestling with a platform that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m still shaking my head as I write this. (Side note: if you’re signed up for inbox updates, I’m so sorryContinueContinue reading “From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence”
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”
