Roller Derby Reflections

This weekend I had the opportunity to support the Charlotte Roller Derby team and wow, what an experience!

As a little girl, I loved to roller skate and used to watch roller derby on TV, completely mesmerized. It’s been decades since I’ve seen a match, and I’d never been to one in person until now.

I’ll admit, I had no idea what the rules were but just watching was fascinating. Each team has one jammer who tries to push through a crowd of defenders linking arms, forming a wall, and throwing in a few body and butt checks. Sometimes the jammer would get knocked out of bounds and have to start again. Sometimes their teammates would help them break through. And sometimes, after lots of pushing and persistence, they’d finally make it past the wall.

What stood out to me wasn’t just the athleticism; it was the determination.

No matter how many times they fell, they got back up.
No matter how strong the wall, they kept pushing.
And when they needed it, they allowed others to help them through.

It reminded me so much of life and healing.
We can let the walls around us stop us, or we can keep pushing toward our goals.
We can isolate, or we can allow others to support us.
We can stay down, or we can get back up again.

Healing is like that too — we do the work, take a break, and then keep going.
And at the end, just like the roller derby teams high-fiving each other and the fans, we can celebrate how far we’ve come.

So here’s your reminder:
Keep getting back up.
Accept help when you need it.
Rest when you must.

And don’t forget to high-five yourself for how far you’ve already come.

Both teams left the arena smiling — a beautiful reminder that it’s not always about winning, but about showing up, trying again, and doing it with heart.

Peace Found Through Pressure Washing

This weekend I got some secondhand patio furniture and decided to clean it up today. I’d never used a pressure washer before, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

When I started I noticed I was feeling heavy. Something was sitting on my heart. I didn’t expect that pressure washing would help me release what was weighing me down.

As the machine hummed, I began to find peace in the rhythm with each swipe washing away more than just dirt. It felt like the weight inside me was slowly being rinsed clean too.
Eventually, I started “writing” words with the washer on the concrete:

compassion, love, grace, freedom, peace, courage, power, safety, connection, authenticity, and more

Each word felt like a part of me.

Funny thing though after two hours of working with this old pressure washer that kept soaking me (because of a hole in the hose!), I went to put it away and discovered that the new, bigger, stronger one was sitting right there in the shed the whole time.
I laughed. I could have finished sooner, with better results…
Or did I get exactly what I needed in that moment?

I choose the latter.

Sometimes the healing comes not from the perfect tool, but from showing up, doing the work, and letting the process wash away what no longer needs to stick.

🔥 This Is What Healing Feels Like
I recently heard the song “World on Fire” by For King & Country, and something in me lit up. 🔥
As I listened I could feel the energy moving through me that deep sensation of being alive, free, and connected. I can't help but sing it our loud and dance.
Healing has brought me back home to myself to my true, authentic soul.
This is what healing feels like:
Freedom inside
Connection to my soul
Alignment with truth and purpose
When we heal, we don’t just survive — we ignite.
We set our world on fire with love, light, and authenticity.
Let your light burn. 🔥
What sets your world on fire?

Surrender
Lately I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to surrender.
For me surrender isn’t about giving up. It’s choosing to accept life as it is and trusting that what’s meant for me will always find its way.
Surrender doesn’t mean I sit back and do nothing. It means I stop resisting and start getting curious and ask, “Why is this happening for me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?”
That shift opens the door to growth, wisdom, and peace reminding me that even the hardest moments carry purpose and opportunity.
When we surrender we create space for God, the universe, and our intuition to guide us.
What does surrender look like for you right now?

Blessings in Grief

One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning is go downtown and interact with the homeless while passing out clothes. Usually, I fill the back of my car with community donations, but this time was different.

Instead of loading donated clothes, I was loading my dad’s clothes after his passing. As I carried bag after bag to the car, emotions bubbled up. I wasn’t sure if I’d even be able to hand them out, but I told myself I would try.

When we arrived and began unloading, I quickly noticed the anticipation on the faces of those waiting. That familiar energy pulled me back into my usual rhythm of joking, chatting, and helping people find just the right sizes.

There was a tender moment when I came across one of Dad’s Michigan shirts. Tears welled up, and I quietly set it aside to keep. But soon I was back to engaging with the people in front of me.
One man I met was Gerald. He carefully looked through almost every piece of clothing, determined to find the perfect ones. He told me he had just gotten a haircut, wanted to look good, and smiling confessed he was a bachelor in search of his forever companion. Helping him pick out outfits for this new chapter of his life was pure joy.

Another man, James, shared his story. Recently, he woke up one morning to find that everything in his bag of clothes had been taken. In that moment, he prayed and asked God to provide. Later, at the free clothing store, he waited his turn only to watch person after person walk out with clothes in his size. By the time it was his turn, nothing was left. Yet James remained faithful, praying again: “I know You will provide for me. I will be patient.”
This Saturday, his prayer was answered. When James walked up, he was met with piles of clothing in his exact size. His once empty bag was full again. His gratitude overflowed, a reminder of God’s faithfulness.

My dad, Paul Miller, was a man of deep faith, even nicknamed “Monk” in his 20s. Today, in my grief, I was blessed to see his faith and kindness live on one shirt, one smile, one answered prayer at a time.

So, if you’re ever downtown and see a man on the street, know that he may be walking around in a piece of Paul Miller with him, and with God’s provision. ❤️

Wow… my heart is still so full from Sunday night’s Awaken Your Heart Breathwork Workshop under the full moon.
Together we created safety in our bodies, released stuck emotions, connected to our inner children with love and compassion, and opened ourselves to both giving and receiving love—from others and from within.
The most powerful testimonial of the night was:
“Today I felt love for myself for the first time in a long time.”
That’s the kind of transformation I get to witness when people show up with open hearts. I feel so lucky to walk alongside others as they discover freedom, connection, and authenticity.
When people ask me what I do… this is it. I hold space, guide, and witness people remembering who they truly are.
Thank you to everyone who joined and co-hosted with me. What a blessing to share this work

This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to go white water rafting.
As we floated down the river, I couldn’t help but see the parallels to life.
There were stretches of calm, peace, serenity, filled with beauty as I looked around at the beautiful forest, mountains, fog, and sky surrounding us. The chill of the water was breath stopping at first but gradually became refreshing and cleansing. Then came the rapids which were chaotic, unpredictable, and demanding that we hold on, trust, and keep paddling. Sometimes we avoided the rocks, other times we hit them head on, spinning in circles and laughing as we found our way forward.
Through it all, we had to work together, trust our guide, and surrender to the flow of the river.
Life is so much the same:
In chaos, there can still be joy.
Chaos is temporary.
With teamwork, success is possible.
In trust, there is freedom and surrender.
In presence, there is peace.
The river reminded me that challenges are temporary, and just around the bend waits a new adventure. When we learn to trust, surrender, and stay open, we can move through the rapids of life with more balance, courage, and even joy.
This is the work I love, helping others navigate the rapids of life, find their calm, and reconnect to their inner strength, and this river was a reminder of the power of healing.

Ever notice how sometimes you react to a situation?
Like someone says something, and suddenly you're anxious, shut down, or super angry?

That’s probably a younger part of you—your inner child—trying to protect you the way they had to back then.

The truth is: we all carry those younger parts with us. The ones who felt left out, misunderstood, too much, or not enough. And they don’t go away just because we grow up. They just wait… hoping someone will finally see them, love them, and let them feel safe.
Here’s the good news:

That someone can be YOU.

You can reparent those younger parts with compassion.
You can give them the love they didn’t get.
You can listen to their fears instead of pushing them away.
Because the more we care for that inner child, the less we get triggered.
The more peace we feel.
And the more freedom we have to live life as our whole, empowered selves.
You don’t have to be hard on yourself. You just have to start loving the parts that still hurt.

Nurturing my own inner child has been one of the most beautiful, healing journeys I’ve ever been on.

For so long, I didn’t even realize how much she needed me—needed to feel safe, seen, and loved.

Now, I meet her with compassion. I remind her she’s enough. I let her rest. I even sing her love songs sometimes (yes, out loud—and it feels amazing!).

And you know what? I’m loving myself more and more every day.
I’m finding more joy. More peace. More freedom to just be.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, triggered, or like something’s missing, maybe your inner child is gently asking for your attention too.

You can start by just saying: “Hey little one, I’m here. I’ve got you.”
She’s been waiting for your love all along.
