A little Friday photo dump. This has been life lately.

Connection with humans I adore. Caring for myself in small, steady ways. Building new relationships where inside jokes are already forming and laughter comes more easily than it has in a while.

I’ve been tapping back into my creative side without forcing it, letting play and beauty show up where they want to. I’ve laughed more than I have in a long time and cried the same amount as usual.

Both belong, and I’m making space for all of it.

The holidays have a way of amplifying everything that already hurts, including the absence, the pressure to perform cheer, and the quiet weight of pretending you’re okay when you’re not.

If you’re quieter this season, opting out more than usual, or simply trying to move through the days without unraveling, you are not broken and you are not doing it wrong.

Grief does not follow the calendar or respect traditions, and it does not ask permission before showing up in the middle of moments that are supposed to feel joyful.

You do not need to explain yourself, manufacture meaning, or turn your pain into something palatable for others, because getting through is enough, and you are allowed to do it in your own way.

12/17/2025

than you expected, it makes sense.

This season tends to amplify everything. The empty space where another adult used to be. The added pressure to create magic, manage logistics, and hold everyone’s emotions, often without anyone holding yours.

For many solo parents, grief shows up in layers. Grief for the family structure you imagined. Grief for the support that isn’t there. Grief that exists alongside love, relief, pride, and deep care for your children.

So much of this season requires constant adjusting. New routines. New rhythms. New ways of being together. Even when the change was necessary or chosen, your body and heart still need time to catch up.

You are not failing at the holidays. You are carrying a lot with intention and tenderness.

If you feel slower, quieter, or less festive this year, you are not alone. Your grief belongs here, and so do you.

This season is reminding me that rest isn’t a retreat from life. It’s a way back home to myself.

There’s a quiet grief in transition. In stepping back from the roles that once held so much of me. In loosening my grip on the version of me who kept showing up no matter the cost.

I’m learning that tending to myself is tending to the work.

That slowing down isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom, it’s care, it’s trust.

I want us to normalize this.

The pause. The softness. The becoming.

To everyone navigating your own season of change, I hope you give yourself permission to rest without apology.

To honour what’s shifting. To feel what’s ready to be felt.

Let’s be the generation that chooses healing, even when the world tells us to keep hustling.

Grief doesn’t show up the same way in every community, and yet our systems keep pretending it does.

Most of the grief frameworks we use today were built by white clinicians, shaped around white experiences, and enforced through white comfort. And when that’s the lens, melanated families are left trying to squeeze their mourning into something that was never designed for them.

This means a Black father crying out after loss gets labelled “disruptive.”
A South Asian family praying together is told to keep quiet.
An Indigenous mother smudging is reprimanded.
Filipino aunties offering food and presence are asked to leave the room.

These aren’t “incidents.” They’re symptoms of a system that treats cultural grief as a problem instead of recognising it as belonging, ancestry, and love.

If we’re going to talk about grief literacy, we have to talk about white supremacy in grief care. Otherwise, we’re just repeating the harm.

And if we want support that actually meets people where they are, we have to be willing to change the narrative instead of protecting the one that’s already failing so many.

What starts to shift when we stop shrinking other people’s grief to fit someone else’s standards?

Choosing myself has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Leaving a marriage is never simple, never clean, never free from the noise of other people’s opinions. There were voices telling me to try harder. To stay for my kid. To hold it all together no matter the cost.

I know the cost, though.
My body knew it. My spirit knew it. My child felt it too.

Choosing myself wasn’t abandonment. It was alignment. It was deciding that I deserve a life that feels honest and tender and safe. It was trusting that my kid needs a mother who is whole, not a mother who stays small.

This choice has stretched me. Broken me open and remade me. Yet it has also been the clearest act of love I’ve offered myself.

I’m choosing truth over performative strength.
I’m choosing healing over fear.
I’m choosing a life that feels like home.

And maybe that’s what choosing yourself really is.

12/03/2025

Some years ask us to roar. This year asked me to soften.

I didn’t end 2025 with hustle or grit or that performative “finish strong” energy the world loves to glorify. I ended it by choosing myself. By slowing down and letting quiet joy and tenderness guide me instead of urgency.

Softness feels like resistance. It’s healing.
It feels like strength.

There’s no prize for burning out at the finish line. There’s so much wisdom in choosing care over force.

How are you softening into your own ending this year?

11/28/2025

This week has held so much, and I’m ending it feeling deeply held in return. Your messages, your comments, your voice notes, your hugs… I’ve received every single one with gratitude. Thank you for meeting me with so much love after Monday’s announcement about my stepping away from PILSC to tend to myself.

There’s grief in transition and there’s also so much love, reflection, and growth sitting within it. I’m taking that into the weekend with a grateful heart.

Thanks for walking alongside me.

A glimpse into life lately behind the scenes.

It’s been a mix of slower moments that nourish my soul, time with close friends, my love, my kiddo, and easing into the holiday season in my own way.

There’s been a lot of reflection, a lot of love, and so much growth in these tender moments.

Every day I feel deeply grateful for this life and the people in it that make it magic 🫶🏽

If you were furious when the province used the notwithstanding clause to silence teachers, you should be just as outraged now.

Alberta has reached for the clause again to uphold restrictions that block gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth under 16. Not just surgeries, but even reversible treatments like puberty blockers. Care that is widely recognized as safe, necessary, and life-saving.

Medical experts, 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations, and legal advocates have been clear. These restrictions violate rights. They’re built on misinformation. And they unfairly target some of the most vulnerable young people in our province.

This is not an isolated decision. It’s part of a long pattern of using state power to control bodies and suppress communities. The same clause used to try to block same-sex marriage. The same clause used to force teachers back to work. The same clause now being used to tell trans kids their lives and identities are political bargaining chips.

For many of us, this lands as grief. The grief of watching safety erode. The grief of seeing rights handled like they’re optional. The grief of knowing that when one group is targeted, every one of us becomes less free.

If their rights aren’t protected, none of ours are.
If they aren’t safe, none of us are safe.

And here’s where we turn outrage into action.

I sit on the board of , and alongside Egale Canada, they are challenging in court. If you’re able, you can support their work by donating toward the legal fight.

This moment calls for solidarity, courage, and collective resistance.
Not silence.
Not complacency.
Not looking away.

We stand together.
Or we lose together.

Comment ‘STAND’ and I’ll send you the donation link.
