  • America is a Breeding Ground for Epstein's List and Predators
    Feb 15 2026
    American culture is a breeding ground for predator's like Jeffrey Epstein and his cohorts because the powerful are protected by corruption and our collective cowardice. The Epstein list reveals how predators curate alibis by surrounding themselves with people who'd never suspect, choosing bystanders as strategically as victims. American culture doesn't help because it sends contradictory sexual messages at young people, creating confusion predators exploit. Most bystanders who suspect abuse choose easy over right, justifying silence with "it's not my place" while children get hurt.

  • Life Lessons from Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh | My Spiritual Father
    Feb 8 2026
    Today I'm honoring one of my spiritual fathers , Buddhist monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, who died in January 2022. He was a peace activist, prolific author, poet, and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition, and is recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness" his words have held me through so much healing. Spiritual mothers and fathers can come from almost anywhere, not just proximity, and if you come from toxic or inadequate parents like me, this matters. We've been conditioned to avoid all suffering, to demand safe spaces externally, but the only real safety is what you cultivate inside yourself with your own inner child. Remember that breathing is the bridge between mind and body - just being is your birthright. Light and love, and I hope you enjoy this throwback episode and the lesson in it.

  • 9 Signs You’re Truly an Empath
    Feb 1 2026
    You might be an empath if you walk into rooms knowing who's lying before they speak. If small talk drains you like sandpaper against your soul because you crave depth. If you love people while secretly not liking most - that paradox nobody admits. If you confuse intuition with anxiety because childhood taught you to ignore your screaming gut and just spin. This gift becomes an asset when we trust ourselves as our own authority.

  • Healthy Relationships after a Toxic Relationship
    Jan 25 2026
    Toxic relationships don't always look toxic from the outside, keeping too many stuck way longer than necessary. The missing ingredient isn't love, it's willingness to address issues and compromise instead of that "take it or leave it" vibe. Safety to broach hard conversations without table flipping energy matters more than anything. Your best self emerging or your worst self taking over tells you everything you need to know. Owning your part without over functioning or making yourself the scapegoat is how sensitives heal and build relationships that work. Light and love.

  • My Best Friend Has Cancer: Managing Anticipatory Grief
    Jan 18 2026
    One of my best friends is battling cancer, the kind where you make sure your paperwork is in order. Watching from the sidelines feels like trying to put out a house fire by spitting. That sneaky bastard perfectionism keeps whispering "I can control outcomes", but really it's just hypervigilance I've known since I was a little girl wearing grown-up clothes. Remember that our worth stays fixed even when feelings lie and scream you're worthless. The critical voice wakes up whenever we're depleted like an old dysfunctional friend. As HSPs, we can build a wise part that holds us through waves of grief and says there's nothing to fight right now, just breathe. Surrender means accepting some questions have no answers and showing up imperfectly is okay and honest.

  • We Need to Talk About Age Gap Friendships
    Jan 11 2026
    Loneliness chips away slowly, not like a crisis you can diagnose with an MRI. Making friends as adults feels impossibly hard because we don't realize childhood forced us together, creating friendships that seemed magical but were really just proximity. Age-gap friendships carry a weird taboo, like something's inherently wrong with befriending people outside your generation, yet these connections offer nutrients your soul desperately needs. I share a personal story about a 20-year-old waitress that meets a couple in their 60s who show her what kindness looks like through small acts.

  • Are you operating in the Light or the Dark?
    Jan 4 2026
    Archetypes carry light and shadow attributes that show up in your daily life. The Companion brings loyalty until it betrays confidences or loses identity in codependency. The Samaritan helps people you'd ignore until they're recording good deeds for social media validation. Servants give freely until they're carrying people with functional legs, building resentment. Mentors refine character until they stomp on students who surpass them. The Avenger balances justice until righteousness becomes cancel culture. Shadow work isn't optional because rainbow-and-bunnies healers miss half the human experience.

  • How to Stop Toxic Relationship Patterns in 2026
    Dec 28 2025
    Why do gut instincts about toxic people get ignored and talked away despite screaming warnings? Highly sensitive people exhaust themselves doing emotional calculus to predict what's happening in everyone else's heads while energy vampires drain them completely. That intelligent narcissist will never get it no matter how many perfect explanations get presented because low empathy means growth and self reflection stay permanently off the table. Playing small and dimming your light becomes automatic after years of learning that accomplishments make others uncomfortable, so managing everyone's feelings turns into a full time job instead of actually living.
