learning to trust God’s plan beyond YOUR plans
It’s easier said than done to trust God’s plan. Regardless if you think there’s a divine timing for everything in life or not, we know things don’t always happen as we hope for. It can even feel shameful to not see your […]
how to serve God, NO preaching required
When I see the question of how to serve God, I immediately feel intimidated. Even as someone who considers themselves as a spiritual leader, knowing how to serve God and what that looks like can feel dicey. Is there a right way? […]
the burdens of spiritual trauma and wounding
When you see words like “spirituality” and “religion,” what do you think of? What feelings do you associate with these abstract terms? Today, my heart goes to those who read those words and feel overwhelmed with spiritual trauma and wounding. Not everyone […]
my spirituality is political. and so should yours.
That’s right. You read that title correctly. My spirituality is political. It’s the foundation for my passions and activism. Many have been calling 2020, in simplest terms, a dumpster fire. Every single hardship, sidestep, and explosive uprising has happened. The years leading […]

One thing that really bothers me is the trend of making apathy seem “cool.” We’ve normalized dropping people willy-nilly and not caring about anything. Yeah, that’s not me. I’m a highly sensitive empath. It’s against human nature to be completely devoid of […]
growing beyond conditional self-love
It’s become quite trendy to promote self-love. That sense that you accept your holistic being for all it is. But what isn’t so often mentioned is something I’d like to call “conditional self-love.” I speak on the topic of self-love as somebody […]
science and faith can (and should) coexist
To some, I’m a hypocrite. My beliefs conflict with one another. I’m not a “true believer.” I’m standing in some awkward purgatory of ideas, too wishy-washy to pick one side over another. Science and faith have always seemed to collide. On one […]
I don’t call myself “Christian.” I don’t think I ever fully identified with that label, even when I was deeply studying Bible and Jesus’ teachings. While I prefer the simplicity of “spiritual,” I still see room for growth in what that really […]
