"FIRE AND ICE"
I’m wrapping up my "Greek Mythology Era" with the story of Prometheus. If Medusa was about narrative injustice, and Arachne was about the comparison trap, Prometheus is about the courage it takes to do the right thing.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the "liver-eating" daily grind for a cause you believe in, this one is for you.

"THE ITSY-BITSY SPIDER"
Gratitude isn't just appreciating what you have—it’s letting go of the idea that your worth is defined by what you lack. 🕊️
From the looms of ancient Greece to the "VIP floors" of modern life, the story of Arachne reminds us that comparison is a dangerous game (especially when gods are involved).
I’ve got a new essay up about weaving your own path, resisting the urge to "clap back" at the world, and why I’m choosing to be a little kinder to the spiders in my life.

WE ARE FAMILY...(SORT OF...)
Some families pass down recipes. Others pass down drama. This essay is for everyone who’s ever survived the holidays by smiling through gritted teeth and counting the hours until they can take home some leftovers. 🍗
