The Number One Draft Pick It was supposed to be a lazy Sunday. But the night before, my husband sprung it on me that we were hosting a fantasy football draft party at the house. Alrighty then. Food was ordered, TVs were set up—everything people apparently need to play pretend football with each other. IContinue reading “#1 Vibes”

Deep Vibes
Depth Can Be Disruptive “People can only meet you at the depth of which they have met themselves.” Shallow people often get uncomfortable around deep people—not because the deep are doing anything wrong, but because depth demands presence. It challenges surface-level conversation, empty validation, and performative connection. The Therapist’s Perspective In therapy, we often returnContinue reading “Deep Vibes”
Avoidant Vibes
Stop Running From Love — You’re Worthy of It When you put up walls and keep your feelings bottled up, those emotions don’t disappear — they come back, usually louder and messier than before. And when you push people away, even the ones who genuinely care, eventually they’ll walk. Not because they didn’t love you,Continue reading “Avoidant Vibes”
Soulmate Vibes
Soulmates: Beyond Romance The idea of a soulmate has been around for centuries. Plato imagined that we were once whole beings, split apart, forever searching for our missing half. Poets and philosophers wrote about the longing to be completed by another. And in the new age world, soulmates are often described as those instant, fatedContinue reading “Soulmate Vibes”
Hero Vibes
The Hero’s Journey and the Soul’s Longing The Hero’s Journey, described by Joseph Campbell, is one of the most enduring story arcs in literature and film. It is the tale of leaving the familiar, facing trials, and returning transformed. From Odysseus wandering home in The Odyssey to Luke Skywalker stepping into his destiny in Star Wars, the hero’s pathContinue reading “Hero Vibes”
Break the Spell Vibes
When You Stop Trading Physical Intimacy for the Illusion of Love So many women—myself included, at times—have mistaken flattery, charm, and love bombing for real love. It feels intoxicating when a man showers you with attention, tells you everything you’ve been longing to hear, and makes you feel chosen. But often, the harsh truth isContinue reading “Break the Spell Vibes”
Reality Check Vibes
Expectation vs. Reality People often build up others and situations in their minds because imagination is safer than reality. In our heads, we can shape things exactly how we want them to be—perfect, exciting, fulfilling. It’s hope mixed with idealism, a desire for something meaningful or extraordinary. But reality has edges. People are flawed. SituationsContinue reading “Reality Check Vibes”
Sabotage Vibes
The Illusion of Control: How Self-Sabotage Keeps Us Stuck I’ve had to admit something to myself that’s been a long time coming: I have a tendency to self-sabotage. And not in an obviously dramatic, self-destructive way—but in those quiet, subtle patterns that fly just under the radar. The procrastination masked as “waiting for the rightContinue reading “Sabotage Vibes”
Music Vibes
From Country Roads to Kensington Market In our Uber from the hotel to Kensington Market, I swear my ears were bleeding. The driver was blasting country music and—listen—I know this might be sacrilege coming from a Midwestern girl, but I cannot with country. I know, I know. I’m supposed to have a soft spot forContinue reading “Music Vibes”
Investment Vibes
Paying a Premium for Mediocrity Sitting at the airport in the international terminal, I found myself reflecting on something my brother-in-law said the other night over dinner. We were talking about international cuisine and how much better the food is abroad compared to back home, when he said something that really stuck with me. HeContinue reading “Investment Vibes”
