I kept telling myself I’d slow down after the wedding. After the next project. After life made room. But then it hit me—what if presence isn’t something I find later, but something I remember now? This episode is a reflection on that realization. On what it means to live your life like a ceremony—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s yours. If you’ve been craving stillness, this is your invitation to stop waiting and begin honoring what already is.

This isn’t just a story about getting my IUD removed—it’s about coming home to my body. About learning to trust it after years of control, convenience, and quiet disconnection. It’s about grief, rest, and reclaiming the rhythm I didn’t even realize I missed. If you’ve ever questioned what your body is trying to tell you—or if you’re ready to stop micromanaging your healing—this one’s for you.

What if love doesn’t arrive when you’re ready—but when you’re willing? This blog is a soft retelling of how I met my husband, what we carried into the relationship, and what it really means to choose love without an exit strategy. A story of nervous systems learning to stay, of fear and desire coexisting, of real love as an invitation—not a performance. If you’ve ever wondered whether you're ready… maybe the better question is: are you willing?

There are moments that don’t scream “transformation,” but whisper it. Moments that feel like a quiet homecoming. This blog—this first field note—is a reflection of one of those moments. A season of slowing down, of letting go, of beginning again. Not with urgency, but with truth. Not for visibility, but for integration. If you’ve ever craved more presence, more permission, more softness… welcome in. This is the portal.

What if true freedom isn’t found in becoming somebody, but in embracing the art of being a nobody? In this reflection, I explore the power of detachment—how releasing our attachment to identity, outcomes, and control allows us to live with more presence, more peace, and more depth.

We’re often told that we can have it all—but what if the secret isn’t having everything at once, but trusting life’s timing? In this reflection, I explore how life unfolds in seasons, why multitasking our existence leads to burnout, and how embracing the present moment allows us to experience true fulfillment.

Presence is found in the moments we least expect—the scent of fresh coffee, the warmth of the sun on our skin, the pause between tasks. In a world that urges us to rush, what happens when we choose to slow down? What if nothing is truly urgent? In this reflection on presence, I explore what it means to unlearn urgency, embrace the beauty of in-between moments, and find true aliveness in the mundane.
