Attachment has become one of those words that’s everywhere. It shows up in therapy sessions, podcasts, Instagram captions, and late-night conversations with friends. It’s relatable, it’s trendy, and it’s often used as shorthand for why we act the way we do. But here’s the thing: attach...

I’ve never been a fan of the word survivor. To me, it suggests only scraping by, barely making it through. But moving through the things that were meant to break you takes far more than survival — it takes warrior‑like skills. A warrior stays true to their path regardless of what has happened ...

The Parable That Mirrors Us
There’s an old Zen story about a man racing down the road on a horse. A monk calls out, “Where are you going?” The man shouts back, “I don’t know—ask the horse!”

Why Curiosity Keeps You Young, Sharp, and Spiritually Alive

From Workaholic Mornings to Flow
Nov 13, 2025
Continue Reading...
My mornings used to start the second my eyes opened — with my laptop. Emails, deadlines, projects, all before I even had coffee.

You’re five years old, and someone says, “Be good.” You’re praised for being quiet, polite, helpful. You learn that approval feels like love—and that love must be earned.
Later, you’re a student, an athlete, a sibling, a star. You get gold stars, trophies, compliments. You lear...

I tell my clients this quote all the time:

How martial arts, Bruce Lee, and resilience teach us to rise again
Last night in Jiu Jitsu class, the instructor paused as my partner and I practiced a strike. He looked at both of us and said, “You can hit harder—because you’re learning to protect yourself. You can take the hit and not be hu...

"Recovery from childhood trauma is a lot like a growing up process—we must learn to do the things our dysfunctional parents did not teach us to do: appropriately esteem ourselves, set functional boundaries, be aware of and acknowledge our reality, take care of our adult needs and wants, and exper...
