  • You’re So Weird! And it’s Good!

    Have you ever started to share something personal and prefaced it with: “This is going to sound weird, but…”?

  • Transmuting the Lead in Your Life into Gold

    The Weight You’re Carrying Isn’t Yours to Keep What if the heaviness you’ve been feeling—the negative self-talk, the stuck patterns, the repeating struggles—wasn’t something to endure but something to transform?
