I wasn’t brought up around the most encouraging people. I was never taught to dream big—more often, the message was simply not to cause problems. Because of that, I never had much confidence in myself. Once I was out on my own, that pattern continued. Even when I went home […]

Grounded Mysticism: The Art of Stopping

Throughout my life I’ve been very Type B. Floating through life, almost in a trance, believing that whatever was meant for me would eventually manifest. I thought things just happened.

Call Your Energy Back To You: How To Recover From Burnout
This past month—honestly, maybe even longer—I’ve been burnt out. My brain’s been foggy, I’ve had trouble sleeping, and all I’ve wanted are the “bad things”: chips, pizza, and naps, even after coffee.
