Daily Affirmation: June 16th
Vulnerability is not my weakness—it is my liberation. Over the past few days, I’ve had some of the most honest, heartfelt conversations I’ve had in a long time. I don’t think they would’ve happened if I weren’t on this wellness journey. But even more than that, it feels like something greater has been nudging me.…

Daily Affirmation: June 15th
I am becoming more myself with every choice I make. This statement rings true now more than ever. Yesterday, by making the simple choice to show up and stand alongside my community against evil, I uncovered a part of myself I always believed existed but had been too afraid to fully embrace. For most of…

NO Kings
My community, I’m proud of you. USA, I’m proud of us. Today, millions of Americans rose up in cities large and small across the country—and around the world. We took a stand. We made a statement. We showed that we the people still have a voice, and today, we used it. Whether this movement changes…

The power of purpose is stronger than anything. Today will be a day of change across this country. People are rising in peace, in every state and across the world. We must remember to come in peace, to stand in peace, and not fall for the distraction of escalation. There is far more power in…

Daily Affirmation: June 13th
I carry strength I haven’t even fully discovered yet. Yesterday was rough. I was a little under the weather, and thankfully, I had listened to my body that morning and chose rest. But it wasn’t just about not feeling well, or skipping a workout, or breaking routine. It was deeper than that. It was my…

Trust the Rise
I’ve been learning a lot through movement lately. Not just in how my body feels, but in how I experience myself—how I stand, how I carry tension, how I soften into presence. It’s inviting me to notice the little things I used to ignore. The way my knees lock when I stand too long. The…

Becoming (Part One)
In honor of Pride Month and the importance of sharing our individual stories, here is a revised version of a piece I first wrote in 2013—a story of a young man coming out all those years ago. At the end, you’ll find The Space Between: Bridging Then and Now—a short reflection on the time that’s…

Morning Dew Drops
Over the last few days, I’ve felt something stirring. Not quite a gut-punch emotion, not something heavy, but just enough to bring a gentle burn to my eyes. The kind of feeling where tears gather but don’t fall. It wasn’t sadness, not really. In fact, there were a few moments of good news, personal wins.…

Reframe Your Mindset
Today during cardio, the instructor said something that stuck with me: “reframe your mindset.” He encouraged us to make lemonade out of the lemons in the workout. To think about the positive outcome of the tough moments and push through. That, combined with lyrics from a song I heard earlier this week, really got me…
