An Open Letter to the Masculine Man.

March 6, 2017

I’m sorry if I turned you down because you just weren’t alpha enough for me... I’ve seen the tools in your toolshed you use to bury your unwelcome emotions... Your cousin is killed in a car accident: the bottom of the glass of scotch. Suck it up. Your mom is diagnosed with Stage 4 lung ...

Learning to Be Well: Detecting and Dismantling Fear-Based Manipulation.

October 20, 2016

When You Meet That Mean Girl, Don’t Disregard Her Humanness.

September 1, 2016

It’s time to throw yourself a pity party. Your eyes get steely, distant and defeated. You say, with definitive cynicism, that Mean Girl is responsible for all your problems and your pain. You predict, with devastated finality, how Mean Girl will never leave you alone. She will continue to fuck ...

August 17, 2016

To me, healing is to walk around the world not feeling like you have a big fat open gaping wound in the middle of your body, saying 'Here I am. I have been hurt, and I am open and vulnerable to be hurt again'. It is not feeling like there is something wrong with you for having suffered what you ...

The Ripple Effect Of Sharing Our Stories.

March 20, 2016

If I let myself run naked across this page, you will see me. I will be vulnerable. A deer in an open meadow with a bow and arrow pointed at my heart, or my jugular. I might stand wide-eyed and terrified of being laid to rest in a pool of my own blood-spill, or maimed to the point of crawling ...

Take Back Your Power: Our Bodies And Sexuality Are Not A Punchline.

March 10, 2016

Why must we be cast as a Madonna, a whore, a selfless mother, a sexual object of desire, an endearing manic pixie dream girl with absolutely no character arc except quirkily supporting the male protagonist, or a sheltered childhood sweetheart whose virginity it seems the duty of the male lead ...

The Loving Masculine: The Lost Key To Balance.

February 6, 2016

In men, their physicality is much more like armor. Social roles they have had throughout history reinforced this, so their heart is harder to reach. But that doesn’t mean it does not desire to be touched just as much. The endless search for connection, the craving for love, and the wish to be ...
