Not long ago, I booked a much-needed escape at a peaceful wellness retreat nestled in the hills of Bali. The soft pastel walls, dimmed lighting, and nature-inspired textures were exactly what my nervous system needed—or so I thought. Within hours of settling into my calm cocoon, something unexpected caught my attention: strange, floating specs dancing…
Let’s be real — speaking up when you have social anxiety feels like trying to talk while drowning. I used to rehearse ordering coffee like it was a stage play, only to panic and blurt out “tea” instead. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Social anxiety isn’t just shyness — it’s a heavy, invisible…
There’s nothing quite like a summer night filled with fireworks—until the migraine hits like a freight train. I’ve always loved a good celebration, but over the years, I started noticing a pattern. Every time I’d be around loud bass or firecrackers, my head would feel like it was about to split open. If this sounds…
Alright, so let me be real with you—I’ve dealt with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) more times than I’d like to admit. And like most women, I turned to antibiotics because that’s what doctors usually prescribe. But after a few rounds, I noticed something wasn’t quite right with my body—my moods were all over the place, my…

I remember the first time I heard about boric acid as a treatment for BV and thought, “Wait, the stuff you use to kill roaches?” But trust me, once I started digging in (and trying it myself after the endless…
If you’ve ever had that uncomfortable feeling “down there” and suspected something was off, you’re not alone. The first time I dealt with BV, I was honestly confused—and I thought it would just go away on its own. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. But here’s the thing that really shook me—I later learned that bacterial vaginosis…
It started with tightness in my chest. Sharp, but not unbearable. A little breathless, and just enough to make me consider grabbing my car keys and heading to urgent care. But then, like clockwork, it faded the moment I stepped outside and distracted myself with a walk. That’s when it hit me—this wasn’t the flu…
Last week, during a guided silent breathwork retreat, I noticed something strange: as I exhaled slowly and kept my eyes softly focused, a few strange specks floated across my vision.
