A gentle letter to everyone who has lost someone they deeply love.

Grief is not a moment.
It is not something you "get over" or heal from on a schedule.
It is not a task, a weakness, or a failure.

Grief is a language your heart speaks when it loses something it cannot bear to live without.
It is the shadow that follows love, and a testimony to how deeply you have loved — and how deeply you still do.

Have you ever found yourself pulling away just as things start to feel close? Or, on the other hand, clinging a little too tightly for fear of being left behind? Maybe you’ve wondered why certain dynamics repeat across different relationships — why you keep choosing unavailable partners, or why intimacy sometimes feels suffocating.

The answer often lies in something quietly powerful: your attachment style.

Rooted in early life experiences, your attachment style is the lens through which you interpret closeness, vulnerability, and connection. It shapes how you relate to partners, friends, even yourself. And unless it’s brought into awareness, it can quietly script your relationship patterns on loop.

Let’s unpack what these styles are — and how they show up in adult relationships.

“More Than Just Hunger” explores the intricate connection between what we eat and how we feel — emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. Drawing from research in neuroscience and psychology, this blog unpacks the hidden impact of food on mood, stress, and emotional regulation. From the blood sugar rollercoaster to neurotransmitter production, gut-brain communication, and the emotional roots of eating, it offers a compassionate and science-backed look into why we often turn to food for comfort, and how we can build healthier, more supportive habits. Whether you're navigating emotional eating, recovering from disordered patterns, or simply curious about how your meals shape your mind, this piece offers practical strategies to nourish both your body and your emotional well-being.

Our minds can be drama queens sometimes. We all have automatic thoughts — quick, reflex-like reactions to what’s happening around us. Most of the time, we don’t even notice them. But these thoughts influence how we feel, how we behave, and ultimately, how we see ourselves and the world. And when they lean negative for too long, they can quietly shape a distorted version of reality.

Body image isn’t really about the body.
It’s about how we feel about the body.
How we were taught to see ourselves. How we've come to believe we must look to be accepted, loved, or even just… enough.

And in a world that often sells beauty as a currency of worth, the way we view our own bodies can quietly shape our confidence, our relationships, our eating habits, and even our willingness to take up space.

But body image is not fixed.
Like any belief, it can evolve.
With compassion, awareness, and psychological insight, we can learn to stop fighting our bodies—and start coming home to them.

Sometimes we give so much of ourselves—to our work, our relationships, our families—that we begin to feel stretched thin, even invisible. We say yes when we mean no. We keep the peace at the cost of our own. And slowly, almost without realizing it, we lose touch with our own needs.

Healthy boundaries aren’t about shutting people out—they’re about coming home to yourself. They help you feel safe, valued, and respected—in your own skin and in your connections with others.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted, taken for granted, or unsure where you end and others begin, this may be the nudge you need. Learning to set and honor your boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s a powerful act of self-respect and healing.

And the good news? It’s a skill you can learn—one step, one conversation, one boundary at a time.

We’ve all done it — stared at the task, felt the weight of it, and chosen to do… literally anything else.
But procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s often our mind’s way of saying: “This feels too big, too hard, or too emotionally loaded right now.”
Together, let’s explore why we procrastinate—not to judge ourselves, but to understand what's really going on underneath, and how we can gently move forward with more compassion and clarity.

Motivation isn’t magic. It’s not about being constantly inspired or grinding endlessly. It’s about cultivating the right inner and outer conditions for sustainable effort — anchored in meaning.
