Welcome! Here's your roadmap for do-it-yourself awareness and change. The core curriculum is built into blog entries grouped under three categories: Markers, Tools, and Plots. You can start here for a few quick navigation tips—or simply explore in your own way.
What are auto-thoughts, and why do they matter? In this episode, you'll learn how to catch and name the thoughts that quietly direct your days—and your life.
What are beliefs, and why do they matter? In this episode, you’ll explore the core assumptions about self, others, or the world—what we accept as true. These are the mini-stories we’ve lived by, inherited, or absorbed, often without even realizing it.
You can’t change what you don’t see. Dig is a Tool that helps uncover the buried thoughts and beliefs shaping your life. Like weeding a garden or clearing a musty basement, a little consistent effort makes space for clarity, insight, and change.
What if healing isn’t about fixing what's broken—but listening to what's already trying to be known?
We all repeat patterns—thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that quietly shape our expectations. GO is the first tool in The Healing Elements that helps shift those patterns by generating their opposites. Even a small change in language can begin to rewrite the story—and how you show up in it.

Consistent Application

After a melanoma diagnosis, I canceled surgery and adopted baby goats. What began as a distraction became something far more healing. This is a story about listening for wisdom, rewriting endings, and how a garage—and a life—can shift from imprisonment to finally finding home.
What if the weeds in your life—those unwelcome thoughts, twists, or disruptions—were actually nutrient-rich messengers? In this reflection, a garden becomes a metaphor for inner growth, and weeding becomes a sacred practice of discernment and self-trust.
You don’t need to overhaul everything to feel better. This post shows how small, steady shifts—like choosing a new thought or trying a tool—can help you care for your inner life in meaningful ways.
Noticing your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions—without judgment—is the first step toward change. This post helps you gently explore your inner terrain so you can decide what to keep, what to compost, and what to grow next.
After my brain injury left me hypersensitive and anxious, I realized the "weeds" taking over my Minnesota yard—violets, chickweed, dandelion—weren't actually weeds at all. They were exactly the healing plants I needed. Apparently my soil had been writing prescriptions while I was still figuring out what was wrong.
We’re here to explore a way of being that’s honest, aware, and aligned with a more joyful, healthy life.
