What Is A Silver Lining and Why We Need To Stop Finding It For Others
03/24/22 • 25 min
My wife and I often didn't have the words we needed during our darkest season of infertility. In the midst of disappointment after disappointment, a cycle of manufactured hope turning into lost hope, grief, and anger, our life together felt like a constant dark night of the soul. Well-meaning people would often attempt encouragement by saying something hopeful or optimistic. In other words, they were trying to find our silver lining. But what that experience taught me is finding someone else's silver lining isn't helpful, and there is something better you can do. Let's talk about that.

Shine Bright: The Shadows Are Not Your Home
Have you ever been asked, whether directly or indirectly, to become less than who you are or to minimize parts of your personality, your power, your influence, or your skills? In other words, has anyone ever asked you to stop shining so brightly?
We live in a world where it's become far too common for people living in the shadows to sabotage those shining bright. It's time to recognize the shadow dwellers for who they are and remember that the shadows are not your home.

I Tried Manifestation and It Didn’t Work. Here’s what to do instead.
What if there was a way to get everything you wanted? Better yet, what if you could get it with minimal effort and ease? Enter manifestation. It's become a hot topic in the personal development world. As people become more open to the woo (the more mysterious parts of life), manifestation has become a technique in and of itself. In some situations, it's replaced the effort needed to reach the success you desire. I tried it for myself, and I'm here to share all the lessons I learned. Bottom line, it didn't work, but it's not all bad. I did pick up some strategies that I love, but manifestation is flawed in its current cultural understanding. So let's talk about that.
