Calm the Chaos: Why Safety Changes Everything
Safety Changes Everything: The Nervous System Truth Today I started thinking about who I was… versus who I am. There is a very clear line between the two. Before, my thought process was built around a lack of safety. Because safety changes everything—and I didn’t know that yet. Anxiety hummed under everything. Depression dulled the edges. My mind defaulted to worst-case scenarios. What if something goes wrong? What if I can’t afford it? What if I fail? What if this falls apar

3 Ways to Work With the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse
Regulate Before You Revolutionize The Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse isn’t subtle energy. It’s activating. This lunation accelerates awareness, exposes misalignment, and stimulates the nervous system in powerful ways. It’s one thing to say, “This is reset energy.” It’s another thing to know how to work with it. If you’re going to break a pattern, choose a new direction, or release an outdated identity under the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse, you must embody the shift — no

Something is ready to break. But not in chaos. In cla

The Messy Middle: Why We Quit Right Before Growth Happens
The Truth No One Warns Us About We love beginnings. We celebrate breakthroughs. We post the after photos. But the middle? The middle is: depression when healing didn’t “fix” everything yet day 9 of a new habit when motivation dies week 3 without sugar and thinking you can handle just one bite… the part of grief when support has faded but pain hasn’t This is where people quietly give up and slip back into old habits. Not because they’re weak. But because the nervous system hat

Full Moon in Leo: The Mirror of the Heart
The second Full Moon of the year rises in Leo, and it is not quiet energy. This is a mirror Moon. Not a mirror that shows you your appearance—but one that reflects the light you’ve been afraid to claim and the power you’ve been hesitant to own. Leo energy doesn’t whisper. It illuminates. And this particular transit offers one simple but profound gift: It helps you feel okay to acknowledge what is in your heart. Not what sounds right. Not what’s expected. Not what keeps the pe

Belonging Without Losing Yourself: Choosing Integrity Over Conformity
Belonging Without Breaking Belonging is a sacred question. And it deserves an answer that does not rush you, does not gaslight your discernment, and does not require you to fracture yourself just to fit. For many of us, belonging once meant learning how to blend in. Learning what not to say. Learning which parts of ourselves needed to stay quiet in order to stay welcome. But healing changes the question. Belonging stops being about who you’re expected to be and starts becomin

The Blessings of Living in a Waning Phase: Why Slowing Down Is Part of Healing
We live in a culture that celebrates expansion. Growth is measured by output. Progress is defined by momentum. Success is often equated with visibility and forward motion. So when energy naturally begins to slow—when clarity softens, motivation quiets, or life turns inward—we assume something must be wrong. But what if nothing is wrong at all? What if you are simply living in a waning phase? When you understand where you are in the cycle, fear begins to dissolve. A waning pha

The Wisdom of the Capricorn New Moon: Building What Will Last
Working With the Capricorn New Moon During Winter’s Stillness There is a quiet wisdom to this time of year. The Capricorn New Moon arrives not with urgency, but with gravity. It asks us to pause, to assess what has carried us this far, and to decide—carefully—what we are willing to build next. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the great teacher of time, discipline, and consequence. Saturn governs both the root and crown chakras—the beginning and the end—reminding us that what we

From Surviving to Thriving: Creating a Holistic Self-Care Rhythm
Surviving Isn’t a Lifestyle—It’s a Signal There’s a difference between getting through the day and actually feeling present inside it. If you’ve been living in survival mode—overfunctioning, people-pleasing, numbing, or pushing through exhaustion—it’s not a personal failure. It’s a learned response. It’s how you adapted. It’s what once helped you cope. But survival was never meant to be permanent. Over time, it becomes constricting. Your body feels distant. Your joy dims. You

Cancer Full Moon Wisdom: Holding What Matters
The first Full Moon of the year rises in the sign of Cancer, and it carries a different kind of weight. The Cancer Full Moon does not arrive with urgency or demands. It arrives with feeling. This is not a moon that asks you to push forward or define who you will become this year. It asks you to pause and notice what you are already holding. It invites honesty rather than momentum. Cancer energy draws us inward. Toward home. Toward memory. Toward the places where we learned ho

The Courage to Want More - A Sagittarius New Moon
The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives with a wild, hopeful heartbeat. This lunation doesn’t ask you to have all the answers. It asks you to be honest about your longing. It invites you to notice where you’ve settled. Where you’ve played small. Where you’ve postponed your own becoming. Because here’s the truth: wanting more doesn’t mean rejecting what is —it means trusting that growth is still possible. It means daring to dream again. To stretch beyond the stories you've inherit

5 Rules for Doing What Matters: Freedom Through Energetic Responsibility
What Is Energetic Responsibility? Freedom isn’t the absence of responsibility—it’s the result of it. When you live in alignment with your truth, a moment arises where awareness seeks to be expressed. Your inner work ripples outward, and your choices become reflections of your integrity. Energetic responsibility is that moment—when awareness becomes action. It’s how you carry your healed, aligned energy into the world. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about

Memoirs of a Messy Mind: Healing from Depression — Learning to Begin Again Every Time I Fall
The Beginning I never really knew what came first — the stress or the depression. In Wild Moon Healing , I wrote about my depression. As an author, I admitted that I couldn't find the words. So I created timeline journaling to express how life can stack itself on top of you until you can’t tell which weight started the collapse. That’s how it was for me. For years, I kept pushing, fixing, organizing, managing — until my body decided it was done pretending everything was fine.

5 Bridges of Healing: How They Carry Us Forward
They say never burn your bridges. Why? Because once the bridge is gone, so are the possibilities on the other side. In life, that can be good or bad. In healing, though, bridges aren’t just metaphors—they’re lifelines. They are what carry us from where we are to where we want to be. At Wild Moon Healers, I often talk about bridges. Why? Because every transformation, every moment of healing, is a crossing. Without bridges, we stay stuck on one side of ourselves—longing for c

What Is Truth? – How to Live Aligned With Your Own Rhythm
Many people struggle to understand truth . They ask, “What is my truth? How do I know what my truth is?” Truth is beyond a personal belief system. Beliefs are subjective, shaped by culture, upbringing, and perspective. Truth, however, is deeper—it’s a living force. What Is Truth? Truth isn’t a static fact; it’s a living, breathing rhythm that moves through our lives. It rises in our emotions, it whispers in our grief, and it burns in our passions. For example, sometimes truth

When the Lights Go Out, the Ego Speaks
Understanding the energetic and biological role of the ego in times of overwhelm, protection, and healing. When most people hear the word “ego,” they think of arrogance. Pride. Self-importance. But what if we’ve misunderstood it? What if the ego isn’t something to crush or conquer — but something to befriend ? We are perfectly made. The ego is not a flaw in our spiritual system — it’s an essential part of it. And it’s part of our nervous system’s design . It’s the ene

The Healing Bridge: Why Willpower Isn’t the Answer
Most people believe they struggle with willpower . They think: “If only I had more discipline, I could change. I could build new habits. I could live a healthier life.” But the truth is, willpower isn’t the problem. The problem is focus . We’ve been taught to look to the head—the thinking brain—for solutions. But the head is where the limbic system lives, where old neural pathways run deep. And the more we obsess about “creating new neural pathways,” the more stuck we become.
