The Art of Not Having It All Figured Out: Finding Bliss in the In-between

A Blissful Reset: My Journey into Hypnotherapy
There’s rarely been a time when my mind wasn’t overflowing with thoughts. Overthinking seems to have been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Conversations being replayed, second-guessing every decision, worrying about things that may never even happen. It wasn’t just a habit – it felt like my default setting. And…

From Hustle to Harmony: Living with Intention, Ease, and Joy
For a long time, I believed the hustle was the only way forward — working harder, pushing longer, and proving my worth through productivity. But over time, I felt myself drifting away from the life I truly wanted. I realized that this constant hustle was pulling me further from joy, presence, and peace. I have…
