My Heart Withstood The Flames of The Fucked Up Fire of Life I didn’t come to this work from a place of certainty.

I just published something very close to my heart. It’s raw, honest, & written for anyone who’s carried heartache while still having to function, parent, survive, and keep going

It’s Okay to Outgrow People

Some people were only meant to know the past version of you.
You’re not obligated to carry them into your evolution.
Growth comes with exits.
Let it.

#HealingInPublic #GrowthIsPersonal

Hidden and unhealed trauma is devastation.
It doesn’t stay buried. It leaks. It damages.
What we don't heal, we repeat—or destroy.

Tonight’s stream is more than just Street Fighter…
It’s a battle against old insecurities.

Healing in Public: What Happens When Your Recovery Isn’t Private Anymore Sharing your mental health story publicly can be powerful—and painful. This post explores the emotional toll and hidden gifts of healing out loud.

Healing in public feels like exposure, but sometimes it’s how we find clarity.

New blog post: what I’ve learned from sharing my recovery while still in the middle of it.

The path gets quieter the deeper you go.
But that’s where you finally hear your own voice.

Not everyone will walk with you.
But the ones who do?
They’ll know your truth.
Because you dared to know it first.

#TwoSpirit #IAmTheFire #HealingInPublic

If you're in my circle, you're in it with truth, respect, and solidarity.
We grow together — or we don’t.

Name the harm. Don’t harm the person.
Hate has no place here. That’s not my way.

What happened to hope in the West?

Rent climbs monthly. Wages don’t.
People are numbing, not thriving.

But we’re not broken—just surviving systems never meant to hold us.

It’s time to reconnect. To resist. To remember we’re still human.

When Life Knocks You Down (Literally) — You Rethink Everything Not long ago, I fell — hard. And not just metaphorically. Getting out of a car one day, I lost balance and landed face-first on the concr...

when your body betrays you
and life won’t slow down
you break — or break open.

I did both.

Andra Day is more than a singer — she’s a voice for the soul. Rise Up has carried me through darkness, through grief, through fire. Her strength, her truth… it’s everything.

Water is a wise teacher.
It doesn’t fight—it flows.
Creeks, rapids, stillness—same water.
It doesn’t ask where it’s going.
It just goes.
Powerful. Patient. Present.
#WeAreEarth #HealingInPublic #SacredIdentity #IAmTheFire

I release the weight of the week and celebrate my wins—big and small.
I am proud of the man I’m becoming.
I deserve rest, joy, and peace.
I enter the weekend grounded, grateful, and growing.

Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what never got to finish. It’s the apology that never came, the truth that never got named, the safety that never arrived. I’m not broken. I’m adapting. Still burning. Still becoming. #TraumaRecovery #CPTSD #HealingInPublic

I am the fire they tried to put out.
But here I am—still burning, still rising.
For every time they said “too much,”
I became more.
#IAmTheFire #TwoSpirit #StillHere #HealingInPublic

They called me broken.
But I was breaking through.
What they saw as damage
was the shape of my healing.

I don’t need fixing.
I need space to rise.

#IAmTheFire #HealingInPublic #TwoSpirit #TraumaRecovery

I’ve lived and posted through trauma, survival, rage.
I’m not ashamed of who I was.
I won’t erase it—I own it.

My new reflection just dropped:
I Am the Fire: I Will Not Apologize for Surviving

Joy & pain. Sunshine & rain. That’s where I’m at today. Running my biz, showing up for family, holding space for all of it. Let’s talk about life’s mix here—business, heartache, healing, wins. All of it.

Sometimes I still feel like a little girl, scared to do something wrong. Even after everything I’ve built, I forget my own worth. This is me remembering — and maybe it helps you remember too.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to be powerful.
You don’t need to be fully healed to show up.

DO NOT chicken medium rare...it's a joke ☺️
