Why You’re Not Being Punished—Even If It Feels That Way
How challenge expands your capacity, deepens your compassion, and calls you into a softer, stronger version of yourself
There are moments in life when it feels like everything is falling apart.
Like you're doing everything right, showing up for your healing, staying grounded, doing the inner work—and still, things unravel. Hard things happen. People hurt you. Life throws curveballs that knock the wind out of you.
32 Things I’ve Learned in 32 Years
Another trip around the sun.
I’ve always had a deep connection to my birthday, but this year feels especially significant. Not because of the number — though 32 does carry a certain grounded strength — but because of how much life I’ve lived and become since this journey began. There were points I wasn’t sure I’d make it here. There were seasons filled with so much loss and uncertainty that it felt like all I could do was hold on.
But I did. And with each year, my capacity to hold joy, peace, grief, love, and purpose has expanded beyond anything I ever imagined. So today, in honor of turning 32, I’m sharing 32 lessons that have shaped me, softened me, strengthened me, and continue to lead me home to myself.
These aren’t just things I’ve learned — they’re things I live by.
