🌑🔥 Aries New Moon: The Courage to Begin Again April 17, 2026 | 27°29’ Aries | 7:51 a.m. EST

This Aries New Moon isn’t subtle.
It’s pressure. Urgency. “Do it now” energy. 🔥
But I’m learning it’s not about doing everything.
It’s about doing what matters — even if it’s messy.

When we live in constant states of overstimulation, it's easy to not recognize how our response correlates to a trauma response.

You are not broken. Your body is doing it's job to protect you. You can heal. #cptsd #flight #fight #freeze #fawn

Anxiety isn’t a personal failure—your nervous system may be doing its best to keep you safe. Nervous system regulation is learning how to move between stress and calm without getting stuck in survival mode.
Save this for the days you need a reminder: you’re adapting, not broken. 💛 #kundalini #yoga

Growth is messy. Healing is messy. Leadership is messy.
But there is gold in the mess.
Grateful for the women who helped shape me.

Where the Bees Have No Stingers A Remembering in the Jungle of Quintana Roo

My name means honeybee. Meeting the Melipona bees in Quintana Roo felt less like travel and more like home. It inspired me to write a story about these stingless honeybees, Indigenous women, and a quieter kind of medicine. Sharing it here. 🐝🍯

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.

Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.

Remember this.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
