Venting isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s emotional alchemy. Learn how releasing your emotions transforms stress into clarity, softness, and nervous system healing.

Being “the strong one” comes at a cost. Behind the mask of strength is exhaustion, clenched jaws, sleepless nights, and a nervous system in overdrive. This blog explores the hidden weight of performance and why your undoing isn’t weakness — it’s your return home.

Self-care isn’t failing you — but performative self-care is. If bubble baths, journaling, and “good vibes only” haven’t helped you unclench, this is why. Real self-care begins with honesty, not perfection.

In a culture that glorifies hustle, rest isn’t laziness — it’s rebellion. True self-care isn’t about spa days or scented candles. It’s about returning to yourself, honoring your nervous system, and reclaiming softness as power. Here’s why rest is your most radical act of self-trust.

In this piece, I’ll walk you through why rage is often the voice of unmet needs — and how rest isn’t just healing… it’s revolutionary.
