Naked
I am fascinated by how our identities evolve. I was 18, battling an internalized, “unwanted child” identity. I reached the stage in adolescence where my cognitive abilities matured, my social awareness increased and all of the sudden, I detached from my “given” identity to reflect on who I am. Our culture shapes the way weContinueContinue reading “Naked”
Fearful to Flourishing
This is for the kids who bit their tongues, hid away in their rooms and had to discover what it felt to be alive in their adult years by challenging internal bias’. I see you, I hear you, I am rooting for you. I am a “Gen Z”, and an old friend and I wereContinueContinue reading “Fearful to Flourishing”
Modern Day Morals
In the West, we live in a world where beauty, fitness and sexuality sells. We idolize fitness trainers, yoga teachers, etc that look like flawless models, their body is a product.

Why does my heart feel so heavy?
Motion sickness. When you call me by my name and have something nice to follow it with. Your breath still smells like whisky. I can’t find words.

Point A to Point B
We are familiar with that person who talks about their goals, but does nothing to get closer to achieving them. It is easier to imagine than it is to act, but it is also delusional to believe you can daydream your way into change. This “person” is you. At least some part, to some degree,ContinueContinue reading “Point A to Point B”
I kept doing a thing I hated
A result of my therapists sequence writing homework (although I prefer sequence talking, no surprise to anyone who knows me IRL). This topic/title has been irking me in all the right ways. Credit to Caroline Winkler (a Youtube legend) for the title idea, and for shedding light into the topics we sweep under the rug.ContinueContinue reading “I kept doing a thing I hated”
BodyMind
It’s vital to be connected with our bodies. The mind is not only connected to the body, the body also influences the mind. We call this phenomenon in practice “embodiment”. The Oxford Dictionary describes embodiment as, “a tangible or visible form of an idea, quality or feeling”. We use our bodily experiences to understand ourContinueContinue reading “BodyMind”
Discovering Yoga
Non-negotiables are one of the systems I use to organize boundaries in my mind. My biggest non-negotiable in my dating life is that my partner MUST be attending therapy, or be dedicated to some sort of healing journey. Undeniably, the act of self improvement is attractive. I say this because my yoga practice began inContinueContinue reading “Discovering Yoga”
