We chase love like it’s a prize, a destination, a missing piece that someone else holds. We romanticize the hunt, believing that love exists outside of us—if only we could find the right person to give it to us. But what if the love we’re searching for isn’t something...

I’ve been reading The Origins of You, and something struck me—how easy it is to intellectualize trauma. I’ve done it. Maybe you have too. We can understand someone’s pain logically, analyze it, even explain it. But when that pain touches us directly, it’s a different...

I’ve been observing how our current administration defines success and influence. It’s pretty clear that the benchmark is wealth. If you’ve made a lot of money, you’re considered smart. If you’re rich, you’re worth keeping close. Relationships aren’t built on trust,...

We all know the fire extinguisher—encased in glass, hanging on a wall, waiting for a moment of crisis. We don’t think about it daily, but when a fire breaks out, we know it’s there. We trust that it can help us navigate the flames. What if we thought about ourselves...
