The Cost of Avoidance

Carl Jung once said, “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.” And isn’t that what we see every day? The hustle, the over-performance, the curated smiles, the pretending—we’ve turned away from our truth so often that we’ve...

Love Begins When You Finally See Yourself

One of the most powerful realizations we can have is that love doesn’t begin with someone else—it begins with how we treat ourselves. Cory Allen’s words hit home: “Love starts with how you treat yourself, not how others treat you.” For me, love has nothing to do with...

Actions Don’t Lie

I don’t care how polished the speech is or how powerful the title sounds—words are cheap. We live in a world where people talk a lot. Promises, missions, values, declarations of change. But at some point, it all starts to sound the same. The truth? Actions are the...

The Doorway to Sacred Connection

Accountability. It is care in motion. When someone holds you accountable, it could also mean they believe in your capacity to grow. Without that, a sacred and honest connection becomes impossible. Growth demands it—from both sides.

True freedom isn’t found in apathy — it lives in authenticity. Not giving a f*ck doesn’t mean shutting the world out; it means letting yourself in. Owning your values so unapologetically that fitting in feels irrelevant. We live in a world wired for conformity, so...

Politics of the Heart

Spirituality without justice is just a mood board. Politics without heart is just a power trip. We keep acting like these two live in separate rooms, but they shape the same world we all wake up in. The truth? Most politics today is just unhealed trauma dressed in a...

We Don’t Deserve Them

Sometimes, I wonder what we ever did to deserve animals. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love—none of it is contingent on our worthiness. They simply give. And too often, we take. I see videos of dogs chasing after the cars of people who abandoned...

Bourdain Day: Remembering the Man Who Fed Our Souls

June 25th Today, on Bourdain Day, we remember Anthony Bourdain—a man who didn’t just travel the world, he connected with it. He was more than a chef, more than a TV host. He was a storyteller of people—raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. He didn’t just take us on a...
