She’s more of an old school “dig deep into your childhood trauma to overcome your self limiting beliefs” […]
Because a huge chunk of this writing exercise has been tagged under “emotional work” I’ve had the good fortune of chronicling much of my emotional growth this year. A huge theme?

Our physical immune systems are shot and I doubt our emotional defenses are much better. Everyone is predicting informational dangers myself included. It […]
I let myself get a little shook up by some poor health news early in the month. I’ve been pushing it physically all through 2024 as let’s be real it’s an exciting time.

I briefly was overtaken by the desire to travel to Washington D.C for the inauguration.
