There’s a shared thread woven through many conversations with my clients: ‘I don’t have time to meditate.’

Life feels full, schedules are packed, and the idea of sitting still for 20 minutes (or longer) often can feel impossible. When the mind says ‘I’ll do it later’, meditation often gets pushed aside for ‘more urgent’ things.

On emotional resilience and the courage to remain present.

There have been moments in my life when everything in me wanted to close – to shut down, withdraw, disconnect, and go numb.

When emotions felt too big.
When life felt too scary and heavy.
When staying open seemed like the most unsafe thing I could do.

There was a time when inner connection felt out of reach.
My mind was busy. My body, tense. My nervous system was overcharged, and my energy scattered. My emotions, buried somewhere deep inside of me.
