Finding Light in Dark Seasons
Life moves in seasons, not just on the calendar but in our hearts. Some are bright and easy – full of laughter, movement, and new beginnings. Others feel heavy, marked by waiting, grief, or uncertainty. For me, the dark seasons often feel endless. Infertility, loss, and the ache of what…
What I Wish People Knew About Infertility

Infertility is not always loud. Sometimes it is a quiet ache, a private grief, a hidden waiting that plays out silently while the rest of the world carries on. On the outside, life may look the same. I go to work, I show up for friends, I smile at family…
The Healing Power of Nature
There’s something about stepping outside that feels like a deep exhale. The air shifts, the light changes, and suddenly the weight I’ve been carrying inside feels just a little bit lighter. In seasons of uncertainty, I’ve found that nature has a way of grounding me. It reminds me that the…
