Finding Meaning in the Middle
I’ve always loved beginnings. The start of a new season, a fresh journal, the first day of something that holds possibility. And I’ve always celebrated endings — the sense of closure, of completion, of tying up loose ends. But what no one talks about is how much of life happens in…
Softening Into the Season
There’s a quiet shift that happens this time of year. The air cools, the light softens, and the world begins to slow. The days grow shorter, and something inside us seems to mirror that rhythm — a gentle pull inward. For a long time, I used to fight this change….

A Home That Heals: Creating Calm
Home is more than four walls – it’s where our hearts rest, where we exhale after long days, where we begin again when life feels uncertain. For me, home has become a place of healing. During seasons of grief, waiting, and infertility, I’ve noticed how much my environment affects my…
The Quiet Shift: Finding Gratitude in Uncertainty
Gratitude looks different when life doesn’t unfold the way you expected it to. It’s not always loud or overflowing; sometimes it’s quiet, hesitant and tender. It lives in the small corners of ordinary days – the warmth of a mug, the comfort of a text from someone who understands, the…
Preparing Your Heart for the Holidays -TTC
The holidays are often painted as the most joyful time of year – full of family gatherings, traditions, laughter and celebration. But when you’re walking through infertility, the holidays can also feel complicated. They carry a different kind of weight. What used to be simple moments – decorating the tree,…
