Is Staying Busy a Trauma Response? Why Rest Can Feel Unsafe — and How the Nervous System Learns Survival
If you find yourself constantly staying busy, it may not be a personality trait at all — it may be a trauma response your nervous system learned over time. For many people, staying busy becomes a coping mechanism shaped by prolonged alertness, responsibility, or emotional bracing. When life requires this level of vigilance, the nervous system adapts by equating movement with safety. It’s as if your body learned to live as though the bear is always nearby — even when there is

Understanding My Individual Circuitry in Human Design: Why Being Different Was My Gift
A personal reflection on how Human Design helped me come home to myself For most of my life, I wondered why I never quite fit in.

I used to think something was wrong with me, but Human Design helped me see that something was actually right with me. My chart is filled with Individual Circuitry, a de

What Healing Really Means: Rediscovering Your Inner Wholeness
There are certain words we use so often that we forget to ask what they truly mean. Healing is one of them. It’s a word woven through my nursing career, my holistic practice, my personal story, and the lives of the people I’ve supported. Yet for all its depth, it’s also a word that has been stretched, reshaped, and reinterpreted in countless ways. Recently, I found myself wondering what healing actually means—literally, historically, and personally. That question led me back

Coming Home to My Worth: From Misalignment to Healing
There were years — decades — when I wanted to hurt myself almost every day. That longing began when I was seven, and for a long time I believed I had to earn acceptance, love, or worth. I chased validation through other people’s eyes, measuring myself by what others thought I deserved. What I’ve learned through spiritual awakening and steady inner work is that the place where the pain began is also the place that holds my healing: within.

What is a Manifestor in Human Design?
Growing up, were you told to "follow the rules" or "stick to the plan"? If you're a Manifestor, that probably never felt natural to you.

Manifestors are the time benders in Human Design. You cut through red tape, see faster pathways, and find the most direct way to spark something new.

I was baffled by the difference in cost at the local drug stores or big box stores compared to companies that focus specifically on essential oils. Like many people, I was looking for ways to improve my overall health holistically and wanted quality products that were produced ethically and tested for authenticity. Not all are created equal. Let me explain.
