Why Do Patterns Repeat?

When I was about 12 or 13, Britney Spears was everything to me. I obsessed over every music video, every dance move, every sparkly costume. I was a dancer myself, and when Britney stepped on stage, she carried all the confidence, power, and joy that I desperately wanted to feel in my own skin. Her songs were catchy and relatable, the soundtrack to growing up, stepping into womanhood, and later, stepping into my clubbing era. She helped me express my femininity and power I did

I must remember the power of creative outlets such as writing, journaling, dancing, poetry, blogging. I recently read that 'privacy is power', what people don’t know they can’t manipulate, judge,  twist or use against you. That put fear into me and made me wonder if that fear drives the disconnection between people causing such a lack of community. Let’s fear sharing, shall we? Let’s fear our words being twisted and people misreading what we are saying. Let’s people please an

I asked chat gpt this question to really get an understanding of how misogyny shows up and how it can sound….( this was eye opening and I had a few spinach in the teeth moments 😬) But we can do better. “Give me some examples of very subtle, passive, aggressive, misogynistic things women say to other women.” Appearance-Based Undermining These sound like compliments but imply criticism or comparison. • “You’re so brave for wearing that.” • “I could never pull that off, but i

In times of grief, disillusionment, and uncertainty, many of us find ourselves searching for meaning. For purpose. For healing. For belonging. And it’s in this deeply human search that high-demand groups, pyramid schemes, and manipulative communities quietly thrive, all while claiming to offer light, leadership, liberation, or love. These groups promise empowerment, spiritual awakening, or financial freedom, but all too often, they prey on people who are vulnerable, exhausted
