There's something magickal that happens when voices come together on the page. Each story carries its own rhythm, its own history, its own heartbeat and yet, when gathered alongside others, those voices form something far greater than the sum of their parts. This is the quiet alchemy of anthologies.

As the compiler of On the Other Side of Grief, I have the privilege and honor of gathering a powerful collection of voices for the first volume in the On the Other Side book series. This project was born through deep reflection, divine guidance, and years of walking with grief and its many forms.

August has arrived with its golden light, its full blooms, its heavy-limbed trees and late afternoon heat. There’s a fullness in the air; a richness that only late summer can bring.

Body shame, I've learned, isn't a problem you solve once and never face again. It's more like a recurring visitor that shows up at different life stages, wearing different masks. I fought those battles and won. I did the therapy, the inner work, the painful process of learning to see my body as something other than an enemy. For years, I lived in that hard-earned peace, believing I had finally conquered this particular demon. But trauma has a way of reshuffling everything you

As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, I find myself thinking about the conversations that have been surfacing everywhere lately—from group therapy, healing circles to public healthcare meetings. The topic? The spoon theory. And more importantly, how protecting our energy isn't just self-care fluff, but a radical act of survival and self-advocacy for those of us living with chronic pain and disability.
