Calm Isn’t Boring, It’s Safe

Confessions of a Late Bloomer Part 11 For a long time, I thought love was supposed to feel like butterflies, that quickening, that rush, that tingle in your gut that made it hard to breathe.

You are not the weight of old stories.You are not the voice that says you must be smaller to be chosen.You are not a project. You are a beginning. A spark. A sovereign.You are the risk worth taking.You… Continue reading A New Archetype

Rooted in Love, Even When It Hurts

Last night was a hard one. One of those moments in parenting, especially solo parenting, that leaves you raw and questioning. Am I doing the right thing? Am I too hard? Too soft?

The Blood Countess—Monster or Myth? Throughout this series, we’ve seen how women were rewritten—turned into seductresses, sorceresses, rebels, and villains. Their power was dangerous. Their defiance, unforgivable. But what happens when even that isn’t enough? What happens when the story doesn’t just punish a woman...It monstrifies her? Before we turn toward the women who managed… Continue reading 013 Erzsébet Báthory: Monster or Myth
