The Earth Angels Who Are Only Lent to Us
We’ve all experienced loss—losing someone we love too soon—and the phrase "only the good die young" rings painfully true. Our soul cries out, and we mourn a reality that simply feels unfair. Yet, as I’ve learned through my own grief, sometimes the purest souls are only lent to us for a short time. They are what I call Earth Angels . I believe Earth Angels are vessels of God, placed on this Earth for a reason. They carry a light that shines so intensely, it has an immediate an

The Good Person Chair: The Foundation of UnSettled Living
We all grew up with different styles of discipline. My mother’s approach was swift: a quick correction, a paddle, and the lesson was learned instantly. My father, however, favored the slow burn. He liked to process the offense, write down his thoughts, and then invite me to his office days later for a "little chat." Knowing there was no such thing as a little chat, my sister and I would make ourselves comfortable in what we affectionately dubbed “The Good Person Chair.” I spe

the tiny bikini and the war within: confessions of a recovering perfectionist
Spring in Florida: sunshine, blooming flowers, the irresistible pull of the beach. But for so many of us women, that beautiful season comes with a familiar dread: swimsuit anxiety. In a world saturated with filters, Botox, and the illusion of flawless perfection peddled by social media and AI, feeling ‘enough’ in our own skin can feel like an impossible battle. You might look at me – someone who’s seemingly confident, works out religiously, and watches what I eat – and assume

why choosing ‘unsettled’ is the best decision i ever made:
I get asked all the time: Why UnSettled? The answer is simple: Because so many of us live in a comfortable, predictable bubble. We settle. We convince ourselves that “good enough” is good enough. But when you settle into your ways—when you stop pushing—you stop growing. UnSettled isn’t about being unhappy or discontent; it’s about intentionally leaving the comfortable to learn, to grow, and to truly live. It’s about recognizing that growth happens only when you are slightly

the unsettling truth of energy vampires
Each of us carries a unique vibration, an energetic signature that instantly resonates with some people and clashes with others. We’ve all experienced that instant “click”—a shared wavelength where conversation is effortless. Conversely, we’ve also encountered those energetic mismatches, the subtle or not-so-subtle clashes that leave us feeling inexplicably drained or uneasy. For me, I pick up on people’s energy almost immediately. I can tell within five minutes if we’re goi

the 15-minute cure for emotional exhaustion
We’ve all been there: you get a solid eight hours of sleep, wake up, and immediately want another eight. The never-ending mental checklist of tasks occupies and drains your energy before you’ve even had that first sip of coffee. Mental exhaustion isn’t just about being busy; it’s about that deep, bone-tired feeling of being on auto-pilot, like a robot just going through the motions. Sometimes I feel so stuck in my routine that I’ve become indifferent to it all. I go to bed ex

the day i fired the ‘cruise director’
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the one in charge. The “cruise director,” the one who plans the family gatherings, organizes the trips, and coordinates dinner with friends. It’s a role that comes naturally to me, as I find a deep joy in bringing happiness to others. But for all the joy it brings, it can also be mentally taxing. It’s not the work itself that’s draining; it’s the constant pressure of trying to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves and are happy. No m
