What it Means for Men to “Hold Space” in Partnership
When men are unhealed with the feminine, they become cut off from their masculine core and shaky in what it means to hold space.

A Letter to My Friends Currently in Grief (((Grief is Not Linear)))
((( Grief is Not Linear ))) There is no right amount of time, to be in grief. There is no recipe, no formula, no perfect way to navigate the depths of heartache, pain, and sadness that follow loss. Loss of a dream, loss of hope, loss of love, loss of someone, loss of a soul […]
How to Heal an Abandonment Wound
Panic, darkness, survival, fear. I was born by emergency c-section to a 22-year-old, alcoholic mother struggling with depression. My first exposure to the world was scary and unsafe.

Let’s Reclaim the True Meaning of Feminism
