Personality or Crutch? When Self-Awareness Becomes an Excuse How often have you heard someone say, “That's just how I am”? Maybe they're blunt, stubborn, outspoken, sarcastic, or have a strong personality. Maybe you've even said it yourself. I know I have! But here's the question: When does understanding who we are become an excuse for behavior that isn't serving us or the...

What if the middle isn’t something we’re supposed to get through? We spend so much of our lives waiting to arrive. When I reach the goal. When I make enough money. When I heal. When life settles down. When I finally figure out what I’m supposed to be doing. But every time we arrive somewhere, something else begins. In this episode of Soulful Wonderings, I’m wrapping up The Middle series—for now—wi...

When people talk about spiritual awakening, it can sound like it’s all healing, rainbows, love and light. Nobody tells you about the shadow work. And yes… it’s about as fun as it sounds. 😂 In this episode of Soulful Wonderings , I am exploring the part of healing that doesn't always make it onto the spiritual-awakening brochure: looking at the pieces of ourselves we'd really rather not...

What if becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t really about becoming someone new at all? What if it’s about remembering who you’ve been all along?

I'm pretty sure the first time I heard the word divination and actually paid attention was in Harry Potter — complete with shawls, beads, crystal balls and some very dramatic predictions. But what is divination really? And is it all that different from intuition... or even being psychic? In this episode, we're exploring the many ways people have used tools to seek guidance — from tarot a...

I'm not sure any of us ever really "arrive." Most of life is lived in the middle—between who we were and who we're becoming. In this episode of Soulful Wonderings , we take a personal look at what becoming has looked like in my own life. From people-pleasing and never quite fitting in to navigating spirituality, intuition, family, work, and everyday life, we explore what it mea...

What if some of the answers you're searching for are already within you?

What if letting go isn't really about losing something? In this episode of The Middle , I sharing what a very real week looked like —one filled with frustration, unmet expectations, control issues, and a few moments that forced me to ask some uncomfortable questions.

Growth is rarely as clear or glamorous as we imagine it will be. Most of the time, it begins with discomfort. A feeling that something no longer fits. A growing curiosity about who we are and what we truly want. In this episode of The Middle series, we are reflecting on the people who shaped us, the expectations carried for years, and the realization that we are outgrowing is the version that live...

When you hear the term energy healing, what comes to mind? For some, it feels intriguing. For others… a little confusing. Maybe even a little out there. In this episode, I’m breaking down what energy healing actually is—without overcomplicating it.

Grief isn’t something we “finish.” It doesn’t follow a clean path, and it definitely doesn’t end the way people say it will.

This is a conversation about what it really looks like to live in the middle of g...

I’ve noticed something lately… When I say I’ve been on a “spiritual journey,” people either lean in… or immediately pull back. And honestly? It’s been bothering me. Because what I’ve experienced over the last several years… isn’t just “spiritual.” It’s growth. It’s healing. It’s unlearning. It’s understanding who you are at your core. So why does the word itself create such a reaction? In this epi...

My son is reaching the age I was when my mom died… and recently I realized I’ve now lived more of my life without her than with her. That realization brought me back to a moment from childhood—one that didn’t seem significant at the time, but now feels like everything. In this episode, I share two nights:  one where my mom stayed up watching over me after a concussion   and one where I sat in that...

“Downloads” are often talked about in spiritual spaces — but what do they actually mean? In this episode, we explore the real, grounded experience of receiving intuitive insight or sudden knowing. Rather than something dramatic or mystical, downloads are often subtle moments of clarity that arrive without effort or logical reasoning.

In this episode, we explore the complicated meaning of strength — how it’s modeled, inherited, and sometimes misunderstood. Through reflections on my mom’s resilience, sacrifice, and lifelong pattern of putting others first, we examine how caregiving and self-neglect can become intertwined across generations. What once looked like heroic endurance begins to reveal a quieter cost — the loss of self...

February is often called the month of love — but what if love isn’t just about who accepts us, celebrates us, or chooses us? In this episode of Soulful Wonderings , we reflect on the idea of being “too much” and how many of us learn to shrink ourselves in order to belong. Through personal stories, family dynamics, and the memory of losing — and rediscovering — our own “muchness,” we explores the d...

February is often called the month of love — but what if the way we seek love isn’t always through romance, or even through others? In this episode of Soulful Wonderings , we are reflecting on a familiar pattern: getting excited about a new idea or project and immediately wanting to share it with friends and family — only to walk away feeling deflated, doubtful, or disconnected from the original s...

Ever trust your gut… and think you got it wrong? Today we are discussing the Christmas where I thought it was about my dad.  It wasn't. Maybe its about following the call and not about being right. Maybe it’s about being willing… willing to listen, to act, to stay open when the story shifts. After all, if love was expressed, if presence was shared… the call was answered. The Soulful Wondering...
