healing
Direct doesn’t mean unkind and I think we forget that sometimes.
Are crystals, Reiki, and spiritual tools empowering or are we sometimes handing our power away to them? In this reflection, I explore the difference between working with spiritual practices intentionally and outsourcing our healing to them. This piece dives into accountability, spiritual scams, vulnerability, and why inner work will always matter more than any tool we use.

The Body Keeps the Score Review: Trauma, Nervous System Healing, and My Journey Through Cancer
When I first read The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, I expected a clinical discussion on trauma. What I found instead was a profound reminder that trauma is not just psychological, it lives in the body, shaping our nervous system, breath, and sense of safety.
Years before reading it, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. While medicine addressed the condition, I had to confront something deeper: unprocessed grief I had carried silently for years. My body had been holding what my mind could not.
This reflection explores how trauma is stored in the body, why talk alone isn’t enough for healing, and how safety, community, and embodied practices help the nervous system relearn trust.
Healing is not mystical. It is physiological, relational, and deeply human.

Books That Healed Me: How Reading Became My First Safe Space
Before Crystolight, before astrology and tarot, there were books.
Reading was my first safe space, a refuge when the world around me felt chaotic or unstable. Through childhood, grief, illness, and constant transitions, books gave me language for what I couldn’t yet articulate. They offered perspective, resilience, and the reminder that there were other ways to live and think.
This series explores the books that healed me: from self-help titles that provided practical frameworks for growth to fiction that cultivated empathy and emotional depth. These weren’t passive reads. They reshaped how I understand pain, responsibility, love, and healing.
If you’ve ever turned to reading during a difficult season, you’ll understand: sometimes stories don’t just entertain us. They steady us.
