Soul Reflections, Quiet Truths & Threads from the Deep

Writings on spiritual awakening, soul healing, and midlife transformation

This space holds pieces of my journey — fragments of truth, moments of insight, and whispers from the soul

I write for those who are tired of surface-level everything.
For those who feel things deeply.
For those who want to sit beside something real and quietly let it work on them.

These writings are not here to fix or teach.
They’re invitations to rest, reflect, and return to what matters.

You’ll find reflections on:
Soul healing and spiritual integration
Energy sensitivity and embodiment
Grief, thresholds, and transformation
Midlife awakenings and archetypal stirrings
Living from the deep self in a fast world

Some posts are recent, written in the voice of the deep I now live from.
Others are from earlier seasons, when I was still trying to shape my work in ways the world might understand.
You may feel the shift in tone — and that’s okay.
We are always becoming.

Take what resonates. Let the rest float past.
And if something stirs in you — a question, a knowing, a desire to connect — I’d love to hear from you.

Feeling anxious, stressed or panicked? Read my love letter for your stuck or panicked soul

Dear lost, searching, trying, sensitive soul,

If change has been forced upon you. If the rug has been pulled out from under your feet.

If what you had is lost or taken from you and you’ve been thrown into a sudden abyss of darkness and uncertainty. If your way is lost, you’ve lost your vision, become directionless, disoriented, confused and you don’t know what to do, who or where to turn to.

Your body may be panicking. You might be fearful and anxious, desperate and scrambling to find a way out of your situation. Your nervous system will be automatically making you react into fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

But don’t rush to take the first step that comes to mind to get you out of your experience and away from where you don’t want to be unless the house is on fire or you are in some other kind of immediate danger. Don’t scramble to retrace your steps to find out where you went wrong to end up in this place for nothing is wrong despite what you may think. This may be confusing but stay with me and you’ll understand.

The biology of stuckness: how your nervous system can stop you achieving your dreams and what to do about it

There will be times in your life, when change is forced upon you, the rug is pulled out from under your feet, where what you had is lost or taken from you and you are thrown into a sudden abyss of darkness and uncertainty. The way is lost.

You may feel immense fear, panic, dread, and confusion, worry or even numbness or shame.

When things stop working in your life or where you are trying to reach a goal but can’t find your way to get there, you can easily jump to the conclusion that something is wrong, that you’ve made a mistake and that you need to fix things to make it work again.

There is a biological reason for this. …
