This week’s rant is about the movie, Sinners—those smooth-talking, soul-sucking vampires that show up with charm and chaos in equal measure. The real question isn't just, Why do they knock at my door? It’s Why do we invite them in?

Why do we keep inviting in emotional vampires who drain our energy, disrupt our peace, and leave us questioning our worth? What is it about us that signals we’re open for invasion?

We are born with the gift of discernment—but somewhere between loneliness, hope, and our desire to fix the broken, we ignore the signs. This rant is a wake-up call to see clearly and be honest about what you see, to trust our spiritual instincts, and to stop offering dinner to those who only come to feed on us.

It's healthy to normalize the roller coaster of emotions. I think the key is to feel ALL of it. I don’t want to take this test anymore. So, I need to make sure I’m studying and getting ALL of the lessons out of this class. If I self-medicate, avoid or deny what I feel, I’m not only missing out on the wisdom and power buried within this situation, (which increases the likelihood of me having to repeat this test) but I’m also missing the the entire point of this divorce— to is to grow, liberate myself and FLYYYYYY!

This is a new game now. Divorce doesn’t just end a relationship — it shifts the entire playing field. But we forget that. We keep showing up with old expectations, old patterns, old wounds.

And here’s where we get to choose: do we keep playing by their rules, or do we start writing our own?

You don't have to match their energy. You don't have to justify, react, or defend.

You get to define your own boundaries, your own rules, your own peace.

It's not about winning the old game. It’s about leaving the field entirely and creating your own.

Going through a breakup or divorce? DO NOT do this alone. Starting in June, I’ll have a membership group dedicated to supporting each through breakups. If you are interested in joining this group, let me know in comments.

Have you ever dealt with someone who twists reality, dismisses your feelings, and leaves you questioning your own sanity? Narcissistic gaslighters are energy thieves—draining your peace, manipulating your truth, and leaving you emotionally exhausted.

Gaslighters don’t just lie—they make you feel wrong for noticing and demanding accountability for their lies. Check it out!

When love ends, it leaves echoes—memories that linger in the body, mind, and spirit. In this deeply personal episode, grief coach Michelle Haughton joins Dr. Michelle Majors to explore what it means to heal after heartbreak. Whether it’s a breakup, a divorce, or the fading of a deep connection, this conversation reveals how rest becomes an essential act of self-soothing, remembrance, and release. You don’t have to rush your way out of grief—sometimes, the only way through it is to lie still and let your soul catch up.

Its about GROWING through it, not just GOING through it.

This is my reminder to myself and maybe to you that we can’t control other people - only how we respond. People have their own journeys, and as hard as it is, sometimes the kindest thing we can do is step back, get out of the way, let them learn their lessons, and protect our peace.

Trust that they will find their way.

I am CLEAR that one’s healing journey is their own. I also know that we don’t know what we don’t know. So here is some information to consider as you move along on your path toward healing and wholeness.

Be well and discover that deep Roho Rest.
