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.

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.
Choosing a Coach: Inspired, Seen, and Challenged
Selecting the right coach is more than checking credentials; it’s about finding someone who resonates with you, encourages your growth, and holds space for your journey. This guide offers insights into identifying a coach who aligns with your values and supports your personal development.
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.
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.
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.
Healing Takes a Village
Healing was never meant to be a solo journey. In a world that often glorifies independence, many of us have tried to heal alone—only to find ourselves stuck, depleted, or doubting. The truth? Healing is relational. But not everyone belongs in your inner circle. In this post, we explore the five roles that support your growth—and the five that may need to be released.
Healing Can Be Holy and Hilarious
We’re often told that healing must be quiet, serious, or solemn—but some of the deepest healing happens when we laugh, play, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive. In this post, Shayna invites you to explore a more joyful, grounded path: one that honors grief and glitter, stillness and shaynanigans.
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.
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.
Don’t Be Afraid of Being Afraid Embracing Fear as a Catalyst for Growth:
Fear is not the opposite of love. In fact, it often arises because something matters. In this post, Shayna explores fear as a sacred signal—one that protects what we value most—and how facing it with presence, instead of bypassing it, opens the door to deeper courage and lasting transformation.
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.
