From Blame to Bravery & an evolution of The Corner

Hello gorgeous soul,
Lately I have been feeling into the way I approach relationship upset - here's some thoughts...
Not every storm needs a villain. Not every wound needs a name.
But we’re taught to split the world in two—good and bad, right and wrong, me and you.
Like salt blaming pepper for being too bold, too different, too much.
But salt and pepper? They don’t compete. They coexist. They elevate.
On their own, they’re distinct. But together—they bring out the flavor.
And maybe that’s the lesson.
Because when I clung to the victim role, I needed someone to be the spice that burned me. The reason my life didn’t taste right.
I made them the villain so I didn’t have to feel my own fire. So I didn’t have to look at the part of me that stayed silent, small, waiting to be saved.
But freedom doesn’t come from blame. It comes from bravery.From knowing— I am not what happened to me.
I am what I choose next.
So I laid the old story down. The one with heroes and villains, with winners and wounds.
And I picked up the pen. Started writing something richer. More complex. More true.
Because sometimes, healing looks like knowing you were never just the salt or the pepper— you were always the whole damn meal.
Let go of the victim story. There’s no villain left when you remember your wholeness.
When you stop playing the victim, the villain loses their role.
What do you think? Would your relationship upsets benefit from this kind of perspective shift?
Big Love ❤️

P.S. SOMETHING NEW IS COMING....
From 'The Corner' to 'The Place' — A Gentle Evolution
☀️Where do you put everything that lives inside you?
Do you carry a quiet sense of isolation?
Feel like you have to figure it all out on your own?
Disconnection from your own needs — unsure who supports you while you’re holding space for everyone else?
You’ve done the work.
You understand what a thriving life looks like — in theory.
But living it still feels distant. And that space in-between can fill with shame, confusion, and loneliness.
Over the past five years, The Corner has held women in this place — the brave middle — where giving voice becomes a path to clarity, meaning, and movement.
Because when you express what lives inside you, you stop carrying it alone.
And everything starts to feel… lighter.
Now, that space is evolving.
Introducing The Place — not a solution, but a way of life.
A living, breathing container for growth.
Where you don’t just process life, you practice being deeply available to it.
To more of you. And more of what you truly want.
This isn’t about fixing. It’s about refining your capacity to be with yourself.
To feel less alone. Less catastrophic.
More spacious and steady inside.
A place to reconnect. Replenish. Refine.
The warmth of flourishing is closer than you think.

All my love x
