In the aftermath of trauma—and now, in this tender space of renewal and post-traumatic growth—mindfulness has become a steady guide. These practices have deepened my ability to be present. They gently show me when I’m reacting from old pain and offer me the grace to meet those moments with kindness and awareness.

A simple pause.
An intentional breath.
A soft return to the body.

Like strengthening a muscle, these small yet powerful shifts create more inner space—so I can soothe my nervous system and respond with more ease, clarity, and compassion.

Paying attention with mindfulness doesn't mean we won’t have judgments. It means we don’t judge ourselves for having them. Life brings waves of emotions—some small, others overwhelming. Especially after trauma, our nervous systems can be more sensitive, more easily flooded.

Mindful awareness invites us to turn gently toward those waves—only when we’re ready. Often, they carry important messages. Wisdom waiting to be heard.

There are many ways to cultivate this kind of awareness. But where do we begin? As Rumi reminds us, “What is important is to visit with yourself every day.”

In this season of healing and renewal, I am also physically relearning how to walk. Each step is both uncertain and full of strength—a reflection of the life force moving through me. Grief and loss have opened my heart to deeper love, forgiveness, and light you don’t expect to find in the darkness. This journey is not just about recovery, but about reclaiming wholeness—a quiet, courageous return to yourself.

Thank you for being here. I look forward to connecting with you
