Spiritual Mansplaining
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by 'Spiritual Mansplaining'...
Spiritual Mansplaining: When a man uses esoteric language to bypass a woman's somatic reality. It's a way of saying, 'I'm more aware, therefore I know more than you do about your lived experience.'
It's about power.
The ‘Platonic Touch’ Paradox
I’ve never been violated during a platonic cuddle. I’ve been violated after getting up from one. And I don’t experience those two incidents as separate.
The False Brotherhood of ‘Just Friends’
A few months ago, I told a man, "Straight men don't want to be friends with me unless there's the idea of something romantic in it for them eventually."
The Fetishization of the Divine Feminine
“I want to worship you,” he said. My reaction was hesitant. As a spiritual woman, I’m sensitive to spiritually contextualized language.
Is There a Gender War?
To be honest, I used to think the patriarchy was too political or "3-D" for me to want to talk about.What resonates with me now is this…
The Conditional Permission of ‘Natural Beauty’
What does natural beauty really mean—and who decides? My last post struck a chord around anti-makeup 'advocacy'.
Makeup & Male-Centered Politics
“I like women natural — no makeup, no nails, nothing.” Two weeks into talking, he sent this in a text as if it were a gift I didn’t ask for.
Beyond Accountability
This is where I’m at: Accountability isn’t easy. But it’s still easier than the ego death required to make it genuine.
Love Addiction and Shadow Work
There is a lot of upheaval in the collective right now — a lot of looking at the “darkness” out there. I just released a YouTube video that I've been working on for a while. To be honest, I doubted whether…
Reclaiming the Virginhood of the Magdalene
The Church has long required a woman’s holiness to be conditional. It is not. Over time, the word virgin referred to anyone who has never had sex. But historically, it applied almost exclusively to girls and women. Why?
When the “Father” Falls
We are watching the rupture of the collective father wound. What comes next—Peace? Order? Eventually. But before that—a cultural power vacuum.
The Burden of Boundaries
A man without his own sexual boundaries cannot safely contain anyone else’s. I’ve met this man time and again.When you say no to him, no is no. But every yes from you is a yes from him…
Growing Pains in Spiritual Dating
I briefly dated a man who checked almost every box. But some of my deepest values—sacred sexuality, inner union, and devotion—were not cultivated aspects of his spiritual path.
On Sovereignty, Regulation & “Love and Light”
“Love and light” became a pejorative at some point in a world that forgot what they are — and what they can do. If there’s one thing 𝘐 can do, it’s to…
Why I Deleted My First YouTube Video
My first video was confronting, hard-lined, and sharp. I spent its launch braced for impact. Meanwhile, I wasn’t putting myself on the line—I was hiding behind it.
The Self-Imposed Matrix of Lateral Freedom
Fear is the only thing holding up the illusion that we can be trapped by any condition outside of us. Trust, if you are reading this, you are already free.
Body Wisdom
Spirit: Your clairs (psychic abilities, clairvoyance, etc.) are related to your intuition, but they are not a substitute for your body. Embodiment means holding your relationship to your body as first and foremost.
The “Love Language” Trap
“Physical touch is my love language.” POV: You didn’t ask. But the person you’re connecting with made sure to let you know.
Polyamory and the Shadow of Hierarchy
“Overnights don’t work with the boundaries I have set up with my wife. Let’s keep things casual, okay?” My heart sank into my gut. I realized I had a need that had nothing to do with the sex we’d been having.
Potential, Projection and the Journey of Discernment
As your level rises—your frequency, emotional health, finances, success, etc.— So too does the potential you see in other people. Not because they actually have access to…
