There is a specific kind of heartbreak that comes not from losing love, but from repeatedly chasing it especially from someone who cannot or will not meet you emotionally. You may find yourself explaining your needs over and over, justifying their behaviour, tolerating hurt, and holding onto the hope that maybe this time, they will understand, change, or choose you fully.

What makes this pattern even more painful is that it can feel like love. It can feel like deep loyalty, emotional investment...

How Inner Parenting Updates Your Emotional Maturity
On the outside, you may seem like you have it all together. You are responsible, high-functioning, and capable. But on the inside, you may find yourself struggling to regulate emotions, overreacting in private, or silently fearing that one wrong moment could expose how fragile it really feels. This inner dissonance is more common than you think and often points to an emotional map that never got the chance to grow with you.

You can run a busine...

We live in a world that constantly rewards intellect and memory. From a young age, we are taught to remember facts, think critically, and push ourselves mentally. But what if your body was never meant to function like a storage device for data? What if its real strength lies in something far more subtle — its ability to tune in?

Your body is not just a physical structure made up of muscles, bones, and nerves. It is an energetic field. A living, breathing, sensing receiver.

And when it comes to...

Why Self-Awareness Alone Will Not Heal You—and What Real Integration Looks Like
A companion to Myth vs. Fact: Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence

You do not need more insight. You already have it. You know the language. You can trace your wounds to childhood, describe your attachment style, name your copying mechanisms, and quote every second sentence from the latest trauma book. 

But there is a quiet tension beneath all that knowing, a sense that, somehow something still has not...

There's a lot of scepticism around emotional healing and spiritual work. You've proabably heard the phrase or thought it yourself: Is this just woo woo?

And to be fair, it's a valid question. 

There is no shortage of vague-sounding advice online. We have all seen the aesthetic quotes and vague mantras floating across Instagram - things that sound nice but don't really land when you're in the middle of emotional burn out, confusion, or a cycle that keeps repeating. 

So let's talk about this......

Healing is messy, personal, and often hard to explain, yet somehow, it has become normal to feel like you should share every step of it with the world. Every feeling, every insight, every tear — there is pressure to turn it into updates and content.

But the truth is simple: you do not owe anyone your private healing journey, and you never did.

Healing in private is not about hiding. It is about giving yourself the space you need to listen more carefully to your own changes without the noise of...

Ever feel like you're holding it together so well that no one suspects anything's wrong? Like you're calm, composed, even unbothered—but only on the outside? You’re the person people admire for staying grounded during chaos. But here’s the truth:

Your calm might not be calm at all. It might be freeze.

The Calm That Wasn’t Chosen

The freeze response is a lesser-discussed trauma survival state. While most people are familiar with fight or flight, freeze is what happens when the body registers t...

I was having dinner outdoors sometime in Dec last year - surrounded by trees and the sound of nature.

Out of nowhere, a cicada landed on me. It didn’t fly off immediately. It simply stayed for a while, still and unbothered. No panic, no confusion. Just presence.

And in that moment, I felt like I’d been handed a quiet message: not everything that matters is visible. Not every transformation needs an audience.

Cicadas aren’t showy. They spend most of their lives underground, unseen, growing. In...

You might think you're just tired. That you're burned out because of work, life, or responsibilities piling up. And while that's partly true, there's a deeper reason why everything feels so heavy, so relentless.

It’s not just fatigue. It’s emotional exhaustion.

And contrary to what you’ve been told—it’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a message from your nervous system.

Let’s unpack this together.

The Silent Weight We Carry

Emotional exhaustion isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always show up as c...

In Part 1, we explored the first ten subtle ways spiritual bypassing can show up in everyday life - often disguised as wisdom, strength, or even inner peace. But real emotional mastery isn’t about avoiding pain. It’s about being fully present with it, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Here are ten more ways you might be bypassing your emotional truth without realising it:

11. Judging others for being ‘low vibe’ instead of seeing your own projections

It’s easy to dismiss someone as negative, toxic...
