Anxiety has a funny way of convincing us that the future is already happening. Not next week. Not next year. Right now. It pulls tomorrow into today and asks us to carry it all at once—the conversations that haven’t happened, the mistakes that haven’t been made, the outcomes that haven’t arrived. And then we wonderContinue reading “Borrowed Time, Borrowed Worry”

Where Your Power Lives
There’s a strange thing our minds do when life feels uncertain: they sprint ahead. Not a gentle jog, not a curious wander—an all-out dash into a hundred possible futures. Most of them unrealistic. Many of them unkind. And before we even know it, our bodies are reacting to moments that haven’t actually happened. That’s theContinue reading “Where Your Power Lives”
A Hope That Doesn’t Wait for Perfect
Somewhere along the way, most of us are taught to hold our breath for the “better.” A better season, a better break, a better answer, a better streak of luck.

Every doubtful whisper, every replayed mistake, every imagined disaster becomes this giant monologue dictating how we feel, how we act, how we show up. And somewhere along the way, weContinue reading “When the Mind Gets Loud”
The Curiosity Theory
Maybe the goal was never to be endlessly happy. Maybe that was never the finish line. Happiness comes and goes like weather — warm one minute, overcast the next. Trying to hold onto it forever is like trying to keep sunlight in your hands. It slips through no matter how tightly you try to graspContinue reading “The Curiosity Theory”
The GPS Theory – Recalculating Without Shame
It’s funny how the little things we use every day end up teaching us the biggest lessons. Take a GPS. You miss a turn, and what does it do? It doesn’t sigh dramatically, flash a warning, or play a disappointed “I told you so.” It just pauses for a second, thinks, and quietly offers youContinue reading “The GPS Theory – Recalculating Without Shame”
