Welcome to Our Blog
Here, you won’t find a marketplace of loud opinions or a race for fleeting trends.
You’ll find a garden — a living, breathing space where ideas are planted with care, stories bloom across seasons, and wisdom unfolds like petals opening to the light. This garden was cultivated for seekers, dreamers, healers, and changemakers.
My writing is not meant to be consumed. They are meant to be wandered through.
Savored. Questioned. Revisited. Time and time again.

The 7 Types of Curses — and How to Clear Them
Not all curses are loud or deliberate—some are inherited, internalized, or silently carried. In this reflective guide, we explore the seven most common types of curses and how to clear them through awareness, energetic hygiene, and ritual. This isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom. You’ll learn to honor your intuition, reclaim your energy, and remember the quiet power of living unbound.
Energetic Intention: The Invisible Language We All Speak

The Happiness Illusion: Rethinking the Wheel of Life
The Happiness Illusion challenges the quiet myth that we must be thriving in every area of life to feel whole. In this reflective piece, we reconsider the Wheel of Life—not as a scorecard for happiness, but as a tool for gentle self-inquiry. Life moves in seasons, and balance doesn’t always mean symmetry. Instead of pushing for tens across the board, we’re invited to live with intention, grace, and meaning—even when things feel imperfect. Because fulfillment isn’t about mastering life—it’s about being present within it.
Watcher or Witness: Who Holds Your Healing With You?
Healing isn’t just about personal resilience—it’s about being held in safe, honest, and compassionate relationships. In a world that often tells us to ‘move on’ before we’ve fully felt, this piece explores the power of true witnessing and the harm of being watched, judged, or rushed through our pain. If you’ve ever felt unseen in your healing, this post is for you.
The Rule of Thirds: Releasing the Pressure to Please Everyone
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be liked by everyone, you’re not alone. In this blog, Shayna shares how the ‘Rule of Thirds’ helped her release the exhausting cycle of self-editing, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—offering a path to authenticity, freedom, and purpose.
Torn Between Truths: How Inner Conflict Reveals What We Need
inner conflict often gets a bad reputation—seen as indecisiveness or emotional overload. But more often, it’s a sign that two deep truths are colliding inside you. In this post, I unpack how frustration, procrastination, and inner tension can actually lead to greater self-integration. Because the goal isn’t to choose between our truths—it’s to create something new from the wisdom of both.
The Path to Inner Truth: Learning to See Yourself Clearly
Inner truth often emerges through discomfort, contradiction, and curiosity. In this post, we explore how to begin a relationship with your inner truth through daily reflection, intuitive checks, and self-awareness practices that bring you closer to who you really are.
The Seven Inner Saboteurs: Naming the Voices That Keep Us Small
We all carry inner voices that get in the way of growth—like the Judge, the Perfectionist, or the Avoider. This post explores seven common internal saboteurs, how they show up, and how we can shift their grip and return to truth, humor, and authenticity.
Meeting Your Inner Council
You are not a single self—you are a constellation of voices shaped by time, memory, and soul. This post explores the eight archetypal Soul Selves that live within you, offering insight into how each one carries wisdom, shadow, and the potential for healing. You don’t have to wait to become them—you can call them forward now.
Too Much. Not Enough. The Game You Were Never Meant to Win
We’re taught to measure ourselves against invisible rules—don’t be too loud, too emotional, too honest. But “too much” and “not enough” were never about you. This post unpacks the system behind these labels, how they distort your sense of self, and what it means to break free and live fully in your truth.
Finding the Magic of Your Inner Child
Your inner child isn’t just a memory—it’s a living presence within you. In this post, we explore how wonder, play, and unmet needs shape who we are today. Learn how to reconnect with the tender, imaginative part of yourself through compassion, reflection, and sacred curiosity.
Concern or Care? How to Spot Performative Compassion
Not all care is created equal. Sometimes what’s labeled as “concern” is really judgment in disguise—leaving us feeling smaller instead of supported. In this post, we explore the difference between concern and genuine care, how to recognize each, and why the language we use matters more than we think.
The Hidden Gift of Hypocrisy
We often see hypocrisy as failure—evidence that we’re flawed or fake. But what if it’s actually something else? What if those uncomfortable moments when our actions don’t align with our values are less about moral collapse and more about growth? This post explores the subtle, often-overlooked truth: that our contradictions might not be a problem to fix, but a signal to follow.
Letting Go of Being “Good”Why I No Longer Aspire to Be a Good Person
For years, I tried to be a “good person”—to please, to be palatable, to stay within the lines drawn by others. But goodness, as defined by approval, became a mask I couldn’t keep wearing. In this post, I share why I’ve chosen wholeness over perfection, and how authenticity—not compliance—is the foundation of a meaningful life.
When Values Go Missing—and When They Take Control
Values help us navigate life with purpose and meaning—but they can also be distorted or go missing. In this reflection, we explore what it means to live in alignment with our values, how fear and over-identification pull us off course, and how to return to center with discernment and care.
Armor & Weapons: The Cost of Self-Protection and the Call to Live Authentically
What begins as protection can become disconnection. This post explores how we use judgment, performance, and spiritual bypassing as armor—and what happens when those defenses no longer fit. Through personal reflection and lived experience, Shayna offers a path toward softening, authenticity, and self-liberation.
Who Am I, Really?
We’re often taught to define ourselves through labels—traits, roles, personality types. But when our behavior no longer matches the image we’ve created, we feel fractured. This post explores how identity isn’t fixed, but fluid—and how real authenticity arises when our values, beliefs, and behaviors begin to align.
The Path of Personal Growth: A Lifelong Journey, Not a Destination
Growth isn’t a clean ascent—it’s a return to the same edges with deeper clarity and quieter strength. In this post, Shayna reflects on the truth of personal growth: not as a destination, but as a lifelong path of reckoning, remembering, and staying present to what still wants healing.
The Brave Beginning: Where Self-Awareness Meets Self-Compassion
Real healing asks us to see ourselves clearly and hold ourselves kindly. In this opening reflection, Shayna explores the two wings of transformation—self-awareness and compassion—and why both are essential for sustainable growth. This is where the work begins: not in fixing who we are, but in coming home to ourselves.
