The Longing I Wasn’t Allowed
This blog is about the raw, messy truth behind heartbreak—the kind of pain that self-love mantras can’t fix. It’s a refusal to settle for shallow advice from therapists who don’t see the depth of yearning. It’s about demanding space for real human suffering, for longing that isn’t shameful, and for the simple truth: sometimes, we just want to be loved back.

The End of an Era (And the Woman I Thought I Had to Be)
This blog is my love letter to the beautiful, messy, sometimes brutal journey of love and endings. A space to unravel the myths around intimacy—not from a place of perfection, but of presence. After years of breaking open, teaching tantra, and beginning again, I write for those who are longing, healing, feeling too much, or not enough. It’s raw, tender, and wildly human—just like love itself. Welcome to the unraveling.
