Power and Control: Constructs of the Self-Deceived
đŤ Power and control are often seen as strength, but theyâre actually signs of a weak foundation.
đ When you try to control others, youâre really reflecting your own disempowerment.
đ§ââď¸ True power comes from self-mastery, not external control.
Who Do You Think You Are?
You are what you think.
Not in front of othersâbut in the quiet moments, when no oneâs watching.
Your internal narrative shapes your external reality.
If you believe youâre limited, youâll live that way. If you challenge those beliefs, you change everything.
As Carl Jung said:
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Stop performing. Start investigating.
Root, not branches.
The world needs the real you.
Ego Is What Prevents You From Self-Sovereignty
đ§ Ego is the Illusion. Self-Sovereignty is the Quiet Power.
Many speak of leadership, yet live lives driven by judgment, comparison, and the need to control others.
Here's the paradox:
The more your actions are fueled by ego, the less sovereignty you truly have.
Real self-sovereignty isnât loud. It doesnât seek validation.
Itâs the quiet mastery of your emotions, the radical acceptance of self, and the freedom to let others walk their own path.
Aftermath & The Art of âJust Oneâ
It only takes one.
One moment to change a life.
One person to speak up.
One act of kindness to offer hope.
Be the âjust oneâ for someone else.It doesnât take muchâbut it can mean everything.

Nice is Overrated
Weâve been taught to be âniceââbut what if thatâs actually the enemy of courage? When being nice means silencing your truth to avoid discomfort, it becomes a form of self-betrayal. True leadershipâand real connectionârequires honesty, even when itâs hard. Letâs stop mistaking people-pleasing for virtue and start valuing authentic truth over polished performance. Thatâs where growth begins.

Love as a Verb
Love isnât just something we feelâitâs something we do. Itâs in the way we show up, how we listen, and the integrity with which we hold space for others. Itâs not about grand gestures but about the consistent, courageous choice to act from love rather than ego.But hereâs the truth: You canât fully love others until you first love yourself. Until you embrace every part of who you areâyour light and your shadowsâyouâll struggle to love without expectation, without seeking validation, without needing something in return.Love in action is:
đ Setting boundaries that honor your worth.
đ Holding space for others without trying to âfixâ them.
đ Listeningânot to respond, but to understand.
đ Choosing honesty and vulnerability, even when itâs hard.
đ Having the courage to be seen as you truly are.Love is a choice we make every day. Not just in words, but in action.
What Is Joy?
A personal exploration and evolution on the definition of joy and how to live it.
What If?
What if I told you that 2025 is meant to be the year that you are liberated? The year that you can set yourself free to be exactly who you are? So many experiences throughout life try to thwart that inclination- familial dynamics, society's fabrics, and "rules" created by communities' norms whether cultural, race and gender related, or religious.
The truly ultimate in happiness and bliss is exercising your free will.
Everyone Has A Divine Spark...It's A Choice To Embrace & Live It
I strongly believe that everyone has the divine within them; they simply need to make a conscious and subconscious choice to tap into it. If you think about it, the highest vibration commences when you are operating out of authenticity and unconditional love. And as such, your divine self is much easier to access, embrace, and live.
Often operating out of your most authentic self is hard given our life experiences. The learning and experiences have sometimes shaped âhard wired programmingâ into our brains that are hard to navigate around, or in some cases, even be able to self-identify. In fact, those that have experienced the hardest struggle with embracing leading by example, sharing their stories and lessons. At their core, those who have healed from difficult experiences and choose to overcome embedded programming are the ones who carry the greatest divine spark. They deeply understand the struggles of others and can see the divine in them even before they see it themselves.
A Call To Bring More Respect & Gratitude For All: Reflections on Breaking Free From Toxic Masculinity & Femininity
As the Thanksgiving holiday in the US is celebrated, it frequently creates an opportunity to take a pause and reflect. During one this time, I started reflecting on societal fabrics and how they can embed and infer how one should show up in the world. And how those perceptions affect how one shows up in relationships and then by domino effect how it shows up in societiesâ systems. I am going to address this solely through the lens of my perceptions in the United States, as well as through the lens of how the traditional male and female gender roles play out as a result.
