See Life as a Muse is a living space for honest conversations about emotional and spiritual wellness, grounded tools for healing, and reflections that bridge the personal and the collective.
Here, you won’t find polished perfection; you’ll find presence, care, and truth. These writings are born from lived experience, inspired by yoga philosophy, and rooted in a belief that our inner work is part of our work in the world.
From navigating grief and burnout to exploring joy, justice, and creativity, each post invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember your wholeness—even when life feels upside down.
Healing Doesn’t Start with Perfection. It Starts with Permission
A reflection on body, belief, and beginning again. We tell ourselves stories about when we’ll finally feel good enough. “When I lose the weight, I’ll be happy.” “When I have more time, I’ll start taking care of myself.” “When everything calms down, I’ll finally breathe.” We build entire futures around a version of ourselves that has arrived somewhere better, steadier, stronger, more put-together.

Community Care vs. Self-Care: A New Definition of Wellness
There’s a phrase we’ve all heard: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” It’s meant with love, and it’s true, to a point. But somewhere along the way, we started guarding the cup so tightly that we forgot the water was meant to flow. Wellness became a solo project, a checklist of things to do for ourselves: the bubble baths, the boundaries, the meditation app before bed. And while those things can help us reset, they often stop at the surface. They fill us up just enough to keep

Always Being the Teacher (and Forgetting How to Be a Student)
The Hidden Cost of Holding Space There’s a strange kind of fatigue that comes from always being the one others turn to. You start out grounded in service, your heart full, your purpose clear, your presence steady. You lead. You teach. You hold space. But over time, quietly, subtly, you can forget what it feels like to receive. You stop asking questions. You stop stumbling. You stop learning out loud. And suddenly, you’re no longer in a relationship with the practice. You’re
