What Is Stopping You?
We all have Struggled with It. Getting Stopped. We are Moving Forward. Fast. Strong. Then Boom! Nothing. Complete Stop.

Focusing on What Builds Me Up: A Profound Mental Health Lesson
Over the past year, I’ve come to realize just how much my mental health journey depends on identifying what nourishes me versus what drains me.

How I Protect My Mental Health During the Holidays with a Toxic Family
The holidays are often portrayed as a season of joy and connection, but for many people, they bring something else entirely: stress, tension, and emotional labour. For me, navigating the holidays with a toxic family has been one of my biggest challenges. Balancing the pressure to be “festive” with the emotional toll of strained relationships can feel overwhelming. But over the years, I have learned that protecting my mental health during this season is not just possible—it is necessary.

Roach Invasions are a Source of Stress
Some Buddhists have told me some stories about Buddha, saying that in his life he had experienced both wealth and poverty. I can relate very much to that life journey. In my life, I have resided at brand, new, top-of-the-line, luxury-style homes, and also called "home" some of the most disgusting, low-life places that some people would never want to imagine, let alone dwell in. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. I chalked it up to some kind of survival lesson or spiritual lesson regarding the human journey and my personal growth in perspective and resilience.
