Five Ways to Break Free From Emotional Inheritance
Becoming a parent carries a responsibility we often underestimate: tending to our own emotional life.

Feeling Stuck in Injustice
There is a force that challenges our mind and our well-being: injustice.
It appears when life does not unfold the way we wish—when others succeed, and we feel left on the sidelines, when we miss an opportunity, or even a train or a flight. It can feel like swimming against the current of a river, using all our energy and getting nowhere.
When this happens, the mind easily turns inward and begins its familiar dialogue: Why me? This isn’t fair.
Without noticing, we slip into stagnation
The Emotional Architecture of Trust
Trust is a word we use often, yet we rarely pause to define it. We speak of trust, but most of the time we confuse it with belief, hope, or expectation.

Invisible No More: Rediscovering Yourself After a Lifetime of Roles
There comes a moment in midlife when a woman might look at herself and feel something unsettling — not sadness or boredom, but an absence. An internal question: Where did I go?
It feels like she is invisible to the world and to herself.
Rediscovering Community in Midlife: Coming Home to Ourselves and One Another
However, in this equation, there was something I hadn’t considered: the importance of social life and community.
While my children were home, community felt effortless. We naturally met other parents through school, sports, music, and clubs. Even through several moves, as long as my children lived with us, friendships came easily.
But when they left home…
Midlife Redefined: A Conscious Awakening
When I began hearing adults dismiss others with, “Oh, she’s having a midlife crisis,” I recognized the same tone of misunderstanding I had heard as a teenager.
