Work, Family, & the Endless “Yes”

Picture this: your boss (or maybe your mom, your partner, your friend) asks you for “just one more thing.” You’re already drowning, but before you even take a breath, the word is out of your mouth: Yes. Later that night, you’re lying awake, replaying it all: Why didn’t I just say no? Here’s the truth: discernment shows up in boundaries. It’s the pause between the ask and the answer. It’s the quick body check—tight chest? heavy sigh?—that tells you your “yes” is really a “no.” But conditioning...

Women have been taught that our anger is dangerous. From the time we were little, we got the message loud and clear.... good girls don’t yell. They don’t slam doors.They don’t get “too emotional.” Anger was painted as ugly, shameful, even unlovable. So we buried it.We swallowed the lump in our throat.We clenched our jaw and forced the smile.We carried it inside until it carved deep grooves of resentment, exhaustion, and disconnect. But here’s the thing no one told us: anger is f**king holy....

Have you ever looked back on a relationship (romantic or otherwise) and thought: I saw the red flags. I knew better. Why didn’t I listen? That’s the betrayal we don’t talk about. Not the betrayal of someone else breaking your trust, but the ache of realizing you betrayed yourself. You silenced your gut. You hid the parts of you that felt “too much.” You kept showing up as the watered-down version of yourself just to keep the connection alive. When we mute our instincts, we never get to find...

Hey boo, If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life has a way of pulling the rug out from under us when we least expect it. People leave. Plans change. Loss cracks us wide open in ways we never thought we’d survive. And in those moments, it’s easy to feel powerless. To slip into the “victim” role—asking why me? or wondering if we’ll ever feel whole again. I’ve been there too. But here’s the shift that changes everything: we don’t have to stay there. We can decide that even in our darkest...

Hey friend, This week’s reflection comes straight from my Sugg-Jess-tion Box: a place where you get to toss in your burning questions, messy thoughts, or the things you wish someone would just talk about already. The question was this: “Is it really possible to hold both heartbreak and healing at the same time?” Here’s the truth: grief and healing don’t happen in neat, clean stages. You don’t finish heartbreak and then move on to healing. Most days, you’re holding both at once. One hand...

There’s a version of you that’s been buried under years of playing nice. Of keeping the peace. Of making yourself smaller just to fit into rooms that couldn’t hold you. You bit your tongue to avoid tension. You quieted your brilliance to make others more comfortable. You told yourself that maybe less of you would be easier to love. But the truth? They still left. Or they stayed and made you question your worth. So here’s your permission slip to stop. Stop diluting your magic.Stop bending to...

This is for the woman who’s done being the “good girl” The one who bites her tongue, makes herself small, and swallows the truth just to keep the peace. If you’re honest… you know that’s you. You’ve been standing on this side of the bridge your whole damn life, looking at the woman you could be on the other side.The one who speaks her mind without flinching.Who says “no” without the apology.Who takes up every inch of space she’s earned. That bridge? It’s not going to cross itself.And every...

Let’s talk about the lie. The one most of us were sold before we even knew how to listen to our bodies.Be nice. Be agreeable. Keep the peace.Be good, even if it costs you yourself. I remember TOO many moments in my life where I chose being liked over being honest.My gut said no.My mouth said, “Sure, whatever you need.”And my body? It’s still remembering.... That’s what people-pleasing does. It makes you betray your own truth in the name of being “good.” But here’s the thing: What if the truth...

Hey Reader You know those questions that swirl in your head at 2AM? The ones you’re afraid to ask out loud?

Those. Well, 'Sugg-Jess-tions' has entered the chat, my new weekly advice series where I answer your questions with raw truth, a little sass, and a lot of heart. Here’s how it...

I’ve been holding Sacred Circle for almost four years now. Guiding, grounding, weaving women together in truth and tenderness. And while I always share in Circle, it's a different thing entirely when you're the one holding the container. You’re attuned to every breath in the room.Listening for what isn’t said.Making sure each woman feels seen, safe, supported.Tending the timing. Managing the energy.There’s a sacred responsibility in that, and it’s one I hold with deep reverence. But this...
