My first Substack post is here:
I explore redefining meaning- beyond status and the modern pressure to live a ‘big’ life for it to matter. Meaning isn’t about how impressive our lives seem- it’s about how deeply we live. It’s found in presence, connection, and the quiet moments that make life rich.

They’re always outraged about the wrong people. The call is coming from inside the house.

Me an existentialist: “You know every year we pass our death date without realizing it?”
My husband: Why do you think like this 😂

Crazy no claims of democrats controlling the weather with these wind-fueled wildfires in LA 🤔 I guess it’s just when the narrative fits 🤷🏽♀️

Normalize planning for days with absolutely no tasks or plans this year. To simply go with the flow of what feels right and where your spirit leads you in the present. Whether that’s getting outdoors, being playful with your kids or getting lost in a book. Your soul will thank you ❤️

So much of my thought process lately has been, will this have mattered at the end of my life.
The awareness of death saves us by spurring us into a higher existence of living.

Empathy doesn’t come from just the idea of putting myself in someone shoes, but because I’ve let go of the “specialness myth” that what unexpectedly happens to others couldn’t happen to me. I understand that it could. So it feels real. And because it feels real, I empathize.

Unpopular opinion: Death anxiety is at the deepest core of why people are both too defensive and too afraid to deconstruct their fundamentalist beliefs.

We need to talk more about the infantilization of high-control religious groups. Telling full grown adults what not to watch, what to listen to, what decisions to make like children. Instead of autonomous adults with the freedom of responsibility to make their own choices. It’s arrested development.

Phrases I've learned from my kid therapy clients so far...
"They're so sigma"
Translation: "They're the best or they're cool"
"We have imaginary beef"
Translation: Someone having beef with someone for no reason or that doesn't really exist.
You’re welcome LOL

And yet they continue to gaslight us as being “pro-life” and “pro-family” 🫠
Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

Dr. Oz has has a history of promoting medical treatments not backed by experts, like the debunked malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19. When you run a celebrity billionaire for president he turns our government into a show 🙃

My husband was exactly who I didn’t know I needed following the deconstruction of my faith. Non-judgemental, open minded, flexible thinking. My views and beliefs changed over the course of our relationship and he was accepting of me in every stage and we landed in the same place. I’m so grateful 🥹

I feel like this election gave me a type of political-ptsd, where I’ll always be skeptical of being too hopeful, distrusting of polls & campaign promises of winning, unphased by celebrity or expert endorsements or believing most people want the common good. This one really took the wind out of me.
