he needed me to calm down first
One month in with Teddy and I already owe him a therapy co-pay. This one's about our first mountain day together at the Big Thompson River, what his anxiety taught me about my own, why I’m committing to dog school without hesitation, and how two anxious creatures are slowly learning to trust the world together. Spoiler: he's a better teacher than most humans I've met.
Accepting that I’m MOld-less
After a conversation with my friend and business coach Geoff that cracked something open, I found myself staring down every belief system that's been quietly blocking me from showing up fully for Soft Soul Co. This one's about what happens when you realize your "lack of focus" is actually your superpower, why passion isn't a single noun, and what it actually means to give yourself permission to not fit the mold — even when that's the scariest thing you've ever had to do.
Falling in love with the sweetest Teddy Boy to ever exist!
Meet Teddy Jade Luckie — a 2 year old, 8lb chihuahua mix who robbed me of my heart within 24 hours. But this isn't just a "I got a dog" post. This is about Mellow, Phoenix, codependency, healing, and why Teddy gets the fullest version of me that I've ever had to give.
space to exhale
After weeks of cancelled showings, a potential surgery scare, and more breakdowns than I'd like to admit — I landed exactly where I was supposed to be. This is about what it feels like to finally have space to exhale, what I'm learning about isolation vs. community, and why codependency isn't just about people. Also: the pendulum is real, my guy.
the ache of uncertainty to the relief of stillness
Why does uncertainty send our brains straight to the worst-case buffet? This week I got a potential surgery scare, a cancelled house showing, and a Google spiral I deeply regret — all in the same afternoon. Here's what I learned about negativity bias, why worrying is just your brain trying to protect you, and how collapsing back into stillness (finally) reminded me who I actually am.
comfort isn’t the goal
Comfort has kept me safe for a lot of my life, but safety isn't really living. In this post I'm getting honest about my relationship with comfort, codependency, and what it actually means to choose growth over familiarity.
the irony of injury
Falling in love with something and then having that thing immediately hurt you is one of the most disorienting feelings there is. This is what I learned about commitment, fear and staying soft when it's really hard to do.
