When the Chaos Stops: What Healing Really Feels Like
This is what healing feels like once the chaos stops. It’s not fireworks or victory parades. It’s the quiet after a battle — a silence that hums in your bones, leaving you unsure whether to rest or run. After leaving an abuser, you begin to understand how much energy survival really took. You were living on adrenaline for months, maybe years, keeping yourself small and alert to every shift in mood, every potential storm. Now that the noise is gone, the body starts to shake loose all that it held.

Psychology of Overthinking and How It Hijacks Focus
It starts small. A single thought you should’ve let go of hours ago. But you don’t — you hold it, turn it over, try to understand it better. Then another thought shows up. Then ten more. Before you know it, it’s midnight, and you’re still in the same place, same circle, same noise.

Your Mind Won’t Shut Up? Here’s How To Finally Stop Overthinking
If you're worrying too much, you're not alone. And if you're overwhelmed with your thoughts, you have good reason to be. New research shows that the average person has about 6,200 thoughts a day. And we want to help you shut down the noise and give your mind a break. We all think too much sometimes. This can happen when we feel insecure when we experience anxiety, self-doubt, or fear. Excessive thinking is usually inappropriate and unhelpful and often leads to feelings of anxiety and worry.

Faith Meets Science: The Emergence of The Magic Church
In an age of information, we are rediscovering the oldest truth of all — that consciousness itself is sacred. The Magic Church was founded on this principle: that spirituality and science are not opposites, but two languages describing the same mystery.

Why Women Fall In Love With Married Men
Although falling in love with a married man is one of the most confusing and emotionally complicated affairs a woman can experience, it still happens more often than people admit. There’s something about married men that seems to draw certain women in, even when they know it’s risky and morally complex.

Rage as Prayer
A survivor’s womanifesto on sacred anger, divine alchemy, and the science of self-love. For four years, I listened to it – the fists, the hours-long tirades of criticism, the twisted words that tried to convince me I was the problem.

The Silent Truth: Why We Hold Back Instead of Speaking Up
There’s a moment in almost every relationship, friendship, or even casual interaction when we know we should speak up. You feel it—a truth that needs to be said—but somehow your voice gets stuck, and your words never leave your mouth. It’s frustrating, confusing, and sometimes even painful to watch someone go on unaware of the impact of their actions, while you remain silent. Why do we do this? Why is it easier to stay quiet than to speak our truth?

A Magical Cure for Excess Weigh
In today’s world, the notion of a “magical cure” for excess weight appeals to many. Everyone wants a quick, effortless way to shed extra kilos, regain confidence and improve health. Yet the truth is more nuanced: there’s no single pill or trick that works for everyone. What does work is a thoughtful, multidimensional approach — one that combines nutrition, activity, mindset, rest and hydration. When these align, the changes may feel almost magical.

Routines Keep the Mood Clean. Content Warning.
Routines can help keep the mood clean—well, cleaner. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and if you do too, then welcome. This is a place to learn something and own it with a great attitude. I won’t lie—it’s hard. The highs, the lows, the mania-fueled spending sprees, and the drawer full of half-baked hobbies. You know the one. Mine is packed with crochet equipment, resin art, an unopened puzzle, and a very expensive art set I bought during a spending spree. I call it my “Kate Middleton Drawer” so many hobbies all the while being a princess —except I look more like Adam Sandler when I’m doing any of those things. (Comfort > couture, every time.)

The Science of Overthinking — and How to Break the Loop
The Spiral Begins It starts small — a single thought that flickers and fades. But before you know it, that one thought grows branches. You replay an old conversation, a mistake, a possibility that never happened. The mind builds worlds out of maybes and what-ifs.
