Soul Reflections, Quiet Truths & Threads from the Deep

Writings on spiritual awakening, soul healing, and midlife transformation

This space holds pieces of my journey — fragments of truth, moments of insight, and whispers from the soul

I write for those who are tired of surface-level everything.
For those who feel things deeply.
For those who want to sit beside something real and quietly let it work on them.

These writings are not here to fix or teach.
They’re invitations to rest, reflect, and return to what matters.

You’ll find reflections on:
Soul healing and spiritual integration
Energy sensitivity and embodiment
Grief, thresholds, and transformation
Midlife awakenings and archetypal stirrings
Living from the deep self in a fast world

Some posts are recent, written in the voice of the deep I now live from.
Others are from earlier seasons, when I was still trying to shape my work in ways the world might understand.
You may feel the shift in tone — and that’s okay.
We are always becoming.

Take what resonates. Let the rest float past.
And if something stirs in you — a question, a knowing, a desire to connect — I’d love to hear from you.

Become a Safe Space to Process Your Emotions for Liberation and Wisdom

Become a Safe Space to Process Your Emotions for Liberation and Wisdom

Sometimes when I’m working a big growth edge in my life, I wake up feeling fear and dread in my stomach, mostly fear. When I feel intense feelings that I don’t like my old pattern is to get rid of it by pushing it away, ignoring it or dissociating from it. This was how I survived some overwhelming felt experiences in my childhood.

The problem is that these strategies may bring some temporary relief but they aren’t very effective in the long-term. Resisting any unwanted feeling tends to amplify it and can lock it in, especially if the feeling is coming from a young part of you that needs your holding and care and another part of you is pushing it away. Trying to ignore it on the other hand can lead to reactive behavior or disconnecting from the body you are here to inhabit and fully live through.

In this article I will explain:

  1. the role your feelings play in your life and why they matter

  2. what you need to know about tending to your feelings (and what not to do)

  3. and how to become a safe space for you feelings so that you don’t get stuck in them and can discover the wisdom they may hold

Creating a safe space this festive season

Creating a safe space this festive season

Merry. Happy. Jolly. Joy. These are some of the most used words at this time of year.

But the reality for many people is that they don’t feel merry, happy, jolly or joyful. They are experiencing sadness, grief, loneliness, depression and anxiety. This might be you too.

These feelings can be exacerbated at this time of year because there is an expectation and focus on being festive and joyful to the exclusion of these other feelings that are ignored or pushed aside or even shamed (along the lines of “It’s Christmas! Be happy!”) These other feelings want and deserve care, attention and a place at the table as well.
