You Are More Powerful Than You Think You Are
Most of us move through life unconscious of what’s happening inside of us. We notice the argument, but not the tension rising in the body beforehand. We see the conflict, but not the fear or the story that created it.

Life Is Like a Kaleidoscope - A Shift In Perspective
When I realize I’m caught up in emotions that don’t serve me, it can be hard to find a way out. The ego, the pride, the all-too-familiar drama loop keeps me trapped there. We can always choose how we want to feel - simple in theory, yet so difficult in practice. A friend told me that every emotion is like a color in the kaleidoscope... it may dominate the view for a moment, but with one small shift, the whole picture can change. That image stayed with me. It reminded me that

Finding Freedom in Being You - How be be myself
My journey is driven by a passion for authenticity, creative freedom, and emotional liberation. I believe that when we dare to express who we really are, boldly and tenderly, we step into our power. But this isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a process. A deep, ongoing practice. Returning to who we really are after years (or decades) of being who we thought we should be. It's not always easy. Old patterns creep back in, people-pleasing, staying quiet to keep the peace, doubting

When Tone Feels Like Too Much for Highly Sensitive People
Understanding Triggers as a Highly Sensitive Person If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP) , you probably don’t just hear what people say, you feel the emotional energy behind their words. That’s why a raised voice, intense tone, or even subtle frustration in someone’s speech can feel overwhelming, even when it’s someone you love. You might find yourself feeling anxious, irritated, or hurt, without fully understanding why. When Tone Feels Like Too Much For sensitive p

Betrayed but Not Broken: Lessons from Being Manipulated
There are few things more disorienting than realizing that someone you trusted, someone you confided in, shared your soul with, maybe even loved, was never who you thought they were. And that moment, the one where the mask falls, where you see the truth, is painful, but it’s also sacred. It’s the beginning of your freedom. If you’ve just found out someone you trusted was never really who they seemed, if they manipulated your truth, talked behind your back, and turned other

No One Should Be in Control of Your Emotions
Your emotions are your own. They’re the raw, unfiltered responses to the world around you, your joy, anger, sadness, or excitement. Yet, too often, we let others dictate how we feel, whether it’s a harsh comment from a colleague, a partner’s mood swings, or the pressure of societal expectations. Giving up control of your emotions is like handing someone the reins to your inner world. It’s time to take them back. Why We Give Away Control It’s human nature to be influenced by o

The Point of Change in My Life
A photo poem by Quinn McMorrow One day in July 2017, I decided to take a trip with friends from Montreal to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. At the time, I had no idea how significant this trip would be. It was still early in my journey - just before I made the decision to make Canada my new home. Looking back now, I see that this was the true beginning of a new chapter. A turning point. It marked the beginning of a massive shift in everything I thought I knew - about myself, about

Expressing Who You Truly Are - How to Be Authentic
My journey is driven by a passion for authenticity, creative freedom, and emotional liberation. I believe that when we dare to express who we really are, boldly and tenderly, we become unstoppable - everything is possible. This belief isn’t just a mantra for me - it’s something I’ve lived through, over and over again. It’s a lesson I’ve had to learn not once, but many times, in moments of breakdown and breakthrough. There were times I felt silenced, afraid to speak my truth,

What Is Emotional Awareness?
In my daily practice with clients, we explore many challenges, but one theme continues to rise to the surface again and again: emotional awareness . Emotional awareness is something we all need to develop. But what does that really mean? And why is it so important? At its core, emotional awareness is the ability to recognize, manage, and consciously process your emotions . It's about tuning in - not tuning out. In order to become emotionally aware, we have to allow ourselves

Stuck in Regrets? - The Heavy Weight of Regret
We’ve all been there, replaying moments from the past, wishing we’d made different choices. Regretting the wrong decision, the words we didn’t say, or the opportunities we missed. For not acting differently. For not seeing it coming. For not knowing better. For not being able to respond with more grace, strength, clarity, or courage. It’s easy to get trapped in the cycle of “what if” and “if only,” but here’s the truth: staying stuck in regrets doesn’t earn you a gold star. I
