There was a time in my life when I thought love meant rescuing. That to truly care about someone, you had to solve their problems, carry their burdens, and shelter them from every storm. It came from a good place — a desire to protect, to help, to provide comfort. But what I didn’t realize…

I recently made one of the boldest decisions of my life: I left my job. A stable, well-paying job with benefits, good colleagues, and a steady future. From the outside, it made no sense. And right now, if I’m being honest, I’m sitting in the fog of that decision, questioning everything. Here’s the truth: I…

Every time I consider making a big decision—whether it’s about my career, my relationships, my finances, or even the way I want to spend a single day—this voice creeps in. Not mine.Theirs. The voice of my family.The voice of society.The voice of what’s expected. “They’ll think I’ve lost it.”“That I’m being irresponsible.”“That I’m throwing away…

But no matter how “together” I looked on the outside, my nervous system was screaming. And eventually, I couldn’t silence it anymore. What…

If I could go back ten years and speak to my younger self, I wouldn’t talk about goals or strategy. I wouldn’t tell you how to climb the ladder or hit milestones faster. I’d just sit down beside you, and say:“You don’t need to have everything figured out. And you don’t need to be perfect,…

This morning, I listened to The Quote of the Day podcast, and a snippet from Michael Wickett caught my attention: “Whatever you get excited about, gets excited about you.” Something about that line stuck with me.
