Finding my voice: Moving through fear at the lunar eclipse
Life wasted no time in putting what I’d written on my business page to the test. On the day of the lunar eclipse, I faced my greatest fear in finding my voice: standing before a room of people, not hidden behind a character, but simply as myself, sharing a story I had written.

Stillness can feel unbearable. Facing what we’re actually feeling or hearing in the moment feels like too much. But when we avoid it, we miss the truth waiting just beneath the surface – the pain, the sorrow, the fear of uncertainty. And yet, that’s exactly where healing, and soulful activism, begins.
So much of today’s human suffering stems from our resistance to sitting with discomfort.
