Reflections 7: Finding a Place for Your Creative Self
In the first episode of this series, I discussed the importance of solitude. This episode represents a key ingredient to getting the most out of time spent alone: creativity. And yet, as we pursue our creative passions–whether personally or professionally–it's important to avoid getting consumed by them and losing ourselves in the process. I share my personal journey of using storytelling to drive social change and how I found a home within myself through creativity. Despite doubts about the industry being saturated and lacking uniqueness, we all possess unique intricacies that can be expressed through art. Through self-regard and...

Reflections 5: The Paradox of Labels: Empowerment or Limitation?
This episode explores the power and pitfalls of labels in defining our identity. While labels can help us understand ourselves and connect with others, they can also reinforce biases and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. It's important to use labels as a starting point for self-exploration and personal growth, recognizing that our identities are fluid and constantly evolving. Labels are a powerful tool for personal and societal growth, allowing us to find a sense of belonging while also challenging systemic injustices. By expanding our understanding of different labels and identities, we can create a more inclusive and empathetic...

Reflections 4: Identity in Physical Form
The complexities of body image and identity run deep. I have always had a pull towards body neutrality; focusing on celebrating and appreciating my body for what it can do, apart from its appearance. This is a tricky practice. It's hard not to care about the way my body looks. I'm not sure I ever won't. But the language I attach to thinking about my body has proven to be incredibly important. It starts with observation, acceptance, and compassion for every part of Self.Resources: Claire Siegel of Flourish, No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz and When...

Reflections 3: Intentional Love; The Intersection of Connection and Individuality
Welcome to Part 2 of Reflections. In this episode, I expand on the definition of love as an active word; a verb that isn't solely about attraction or compatibility, but moreover: effort, intention, and understanding. While this episode is relevant to all relationships – friendships, familial ties, romantic flames, and platonic connections – I largely use my 13 year long relationship as my lens. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that there has to be a balance between individualism and connection, an element of reciprocity and mutual appreciation, and giving and receiving graciously.A few key takeaways:Life's chal...

I lost my dog baby, George, suddenly; and I am devastated. Everything feels unfamiliar without him. As his primary caregiver, he offered me pure, unconditional love and unselfish devotion. This part of the series was intended to cover the importance of relationships in our identity and livelihood. It felt relevant to share this grief because the loss of George – the loss of a relationship – has challenged my home life and compelled me to wonder who I am without him following me into every room.

Boundaries are not restricting. In fact, they are the contrary. Boundaries lead to expansiveness.

We also dive deep on therapeutic methods, processing trauma, her commitment to ally ship and so much wisdom in between.

Finding Peace in the Melancholic
Melancholy is a kind of longing, a bittersweet sensation swept up in sadness, beauty, and an obscure cluster of sensations. We don't necessarily welcome it and thus it arrives uninvited. But there is something so seductive about the sensation of melancholy. And there is much to gain. Melancholy creates room for us to simmer, explore, and self reflect. Because it emerges from nowhere, melancholy has the power to strip away any semblance of expectation. I find a lot of discovery in interconnectedness, a nondual state of being, and a deep relationship to nature. While you will hear my own anecdotes...

A few key things to keep in mind: Hypomania is a period of over-active and excited behavior that can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life. It is extended and involves at least three core symptoms. Hypomania is not to be confused with mania–it manifests with unusual gaiety, excitement, flamboyance, or irritation, along with other characteristics such as inflated self-esteem, extreme talkativeness, increased distractibility, reduced need for sleep, and having racing thoughts–as it does not invo...

Hi 2021
Happy New Year! A few notes...“I once heard Pema Chodron explain that no emotion lasts longer than 90 seconds. You heard that right: no emotion we feel lasts longer than a minute and a half if we let it run its course without interference. Emotions, the result of chemical response to a thought, appear, intensify, de-intensify, and subside: and they do this in less time than it takes to microwave a frozen burrito.

Burn Out
Note: Please see a professional if you are in need of emotional support. I am not an expert, just a storyteller. Two definitions of burn out that may resonate: 'to be completely consumed and thus no longer aflame' and 'fatigue, frustration, or apathy resulting from prolonged stress, overwork, or intense activity.' Acknowledge and embrace, monitor what you allow into your being, take care of yourself in the mornings and nights, make things basic and easy, take small breaks, eat food as medicine, find therapy in small acts and rely on external tools to organize your thoughts and priorities.
