How Your Brain Works (And What to Do About It)
Have you ever caught yourself spiraling in thought and wondered, “Why is my brain like this?” One minute you’re just trying to go about your day, and the next you’re flooded with worries, what-ifs, or stories that feel way more dramatic than the situation calls for. Our brains are incredible. But most of us were…
Healthy Boundaries and Letting Go: Respecting Personal Sovereignty
There’s a kind of peace that comes when you realize—deep in your bones—that not everything is yours to carry. For much of my life, I didn’t understand that. I tried to anticipate, manage, soften, or redirect what I sensed other people might feel in response to me. It wasn’t because I didn’t care—it’s because I…
Thought Patterns Shape Reality: What You Focus On, You Make Room For
Understanding that your internal focus becomes your external experience is a powerful revelation. For years, I’ve said: what you focus on, you make room for. But it wasn’t until I began to deeply understand the Pygmalion effect—a concept better known as self-fulfilling prophecy—that the weight of those words fully landed. When you believe something deeply…
Power vs. Force: Energy That Works With You
There’s an ease that comes when you’re moving in alignment with true authority—when your energy is rooted in clarity, and momentum builds naturally. When you’re moving in alignment with flow rather than against it. If you notice yourself pushing, striving, or micromanaging to get your point across, it may be a signal to elevate your…
Shadow Work: Emotional Alchemy
The term “shadow work” gets thrown around a lot—but for something that’s so widely used, it’s often misunderstood. It can sound trendy or vague, like a spiritual catchphrase more than a grounded practice. Real shadow work isn’t just about acknowledging that we have a darker side or hidden patterns—it’s about doing the deep internal work…
Reclaiming the Moment of Choice: Undoing the Programming That Says You’re Always Wrong
I spent so much of my life automatically responding to people—answering their questions, reacting to their comments, explaining myself in ways I didn’t even realize I was doing. If someone reached toward me in conversation, I reached back. If someone asked something of me, I answered—even when I didn’t want to. There was no pause,…
Let Your No Be No: Resisting the Urge to Overexplain
There’s a quiet power in saying “no” and letting it stand on its own. For most of my life, that power was elusive. Like many people—especially women (especially neurodivergent)—I felt compelled to explain every decision. I wasn’t just saying no, I was building a case. I’d lay out context, soften the edges, list my reasons,…
The Art of Non-Reaction
Not every situation requires a response. In fact, sometimes the most empowered communication move you can make is no move at all. I used to struggle with this one—big time. As someone who’s neurodivergent, I often felt compelled to respond to everything. My sisters used to joke that I was a last-word junkie. And, honestly,…
Polarity and the Energetic Average
It’s easy to treat our well-being as something to compartmentalize. We care for our bodies but ignore our thoughts. We focus on spiritual growth but forget to eat lunch. We journal and meditate but push through exhaustion as though rest were a luxury instead of a need. But the truth is: wholeness isn’t about any…
Alchemizing with Elevated Thought: Transmuting Fear and Reclaiming Flow
In my original post on Elevated Thought, I shared a framework to help identify whether your energy is in a state of unhindered, hindered, or constricted flow. Since then, I’ve explored how that awareness can be applied to shape the way we move forward with trust and spiritual discernment. But what about the moments when…
