moments of bloom

in this audio diary, I revisit and expand on a recent substack post of the same name. I reflect on the tendency to treat every season like something to escape, and what it might mean to stay put and remain present. I talk about fear, faith, burnout, the weight of inherited beliefs, and the desire to create a life that I can fully inhabit and let out a deep exhale in. thanks for listening. 💌 This is a public episode.

lately, the phrase “count it all joy” has been sticking with me. I love the quote by Ram Dass that says, “you can do it like it’s a great weight on you, or you can do it like a dance.” & lately, admittedly, I’ve been approaching life like it’s a great weight. I asked myself recently, why do you wake up like life is a battlefield and the day ahead is a battle you’re gonna have to fight? getting out of bed with deep sighs and heavy dread…is it all so bad or am I putting my problems on a pedestal? unpack this with me in this short audio diary on perspective shifting and objectivity toward life. thanks for listening. 💌 This is a public episode.
