Permission to Trust Yourself Again
Good morning, beautiful, I want to talk to you about trust. Not the kind that gets talked about casually, but the deep, steady kind that lives in your body when you finally know how to hear yourself. For a long time, I thought trusting myself meant being confident in my decisions. But what I learned…

Permission to Say No Without Explaining Yourself
Good morning, beautiful, I want to talk to you about something that used to feel much harder than it needed to be. Saying no. Not the act of saying it, but everything that came after. The explanations. The softening. The over clarifying. The feeling that if I did not provide enough context, my no would…

Permission to Slow Down and Enjoy
Good morning, beautiful, I want to start today by giving you permission to do something that sounds simple, but changes everything once you actually allow it. You get to slow down. Not slow down because you are tired, even though you might be.Not slow down because something went wrong.But slow down on purpose. For a…

Permission Granted: A Different Kind of New Year
Good morning, beautiful, First things first—pause with me for a second.You made it. Another year. Another morning. Another chance to wake up inside a life that is still unfolding. That matters more than we ever give it credit for. I know January usually comes in loud, full of opinions and timelines and all that “new…

Clearing Space for the Life I Said I Wanted
There’s something almost magical about the act of clearing space. I don’t mean it in a metaphorical, abstract way (though that’s part of it). I mean the real-life, hands-on, open-the-closet-door-and-let-it-go kind of clearing. The sweep-the-floor kind. The pop-the-trunk-and-drop-off-the-donation kind. The clean-out-the-email-inbox-and-finally-cancel-the-subscription kind. Because clearing space is not just about tidying. It’s about trust.It’s about alignment.It’s…

You Don’t Have to Deserve It First—You Just Have to Let It In
There’s this quiet, tender ache that lives under so many of our dreams—the belief that we have to deserve the good things we want. That we must earn, prove, or justify the joy, abundance, ease, or support our hearts long for. But what if you didn’t? What if you didn’t have to hustle for your…

The Rituals That Helped Me Receive More With Ease
There’s a reason I love the word yummy. It’s soft.It’s expansive.It’s everything I want life to feel like: rich, delicious, beautiful, and a little indulgent. For so long, I didn’t have a word for that kind of goodness.I was really good at naming everything that wasn’t working—what I didn’t have, what didn’t go right, what…

Generosity Is Not a Replacement for Receiving
Let me start with something tender: If you see yourself in this article, know this: You are not wrong.You are not bad.You are not broken. But you may be giving from a place that’s running on empty. This one is not my personal story. I’ve had my own receiving blocks—but chronic overgiving wasn’t one of…

Receiving Resistance: 7 Signs You Might Be Saying ‘No’ Without Realizing It
I’ll admit this up front: I still catch myself doing it. A friend recently reached into the car to help me unload something. It was light. It wasn’t a big deal. And yet—I found myself saying, “I got it, I got it, I got it.” She gently backed off with a little smirk, and I…

The Fear of Getting Everything You Asked For
I want to tell you a story that might not seem like it’s about money.But I promise you—it is. When I was young, I was what people called a “pretty” child. Soft-spoken.Well-mannered.Dainty.Polite.The kind of child people praised just for standing still. I had beautiful skin, long hair, and an energy that made people outside of…
