Small Steps, Big Shifts: Reflections on Family, Creativity, and Healing

This weekend was a whirlwind—one of those stretches where life feels both full and a little overwhelming. Saturday night, I went out with my husband, my youngest brother, and my dad to celebrate his birthday. His coworkers organized the whole thing, and honestly, I felt a little guilty for not throwing a party myself. But seeing how much his friends care about him was a beautiful surprise. It’s funny how we sometimes forget our parents have their own lives and circles outside of us.

After two nights out, Friday was his actual birthday and we celebrated with my whole family, I was exhausted. That didn’t stop me from doing some light research on email service providers, the rest of the day was mostly about catching up on rest.

One thing that’s been on my mind for a long time is writing a book. I even printed out a book summary to help me get started. I want this process to be easy and fun—something I look forward to, not another item on my to-do list. I’ve realized that small upgrades, like refreshing my wardrobe (thanks to a friend!), have been quietly boosting my confidence. But the real icing on the cake is taking action—going live, making videos, and just showing up for myself every day. A girl can dream!

Healing, for me, has become less about big, dramatic moments and more about daily rituals. Instead of letting the news or stress take over, I’m choosing grounding meditations, sound baths, and calming routines for my family. I want to feed the calm, not the chaos. Sometimes that means lowering the lights and getting the kids off their devices before bed, or just taking a few minutes to breathe and connect with myself.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my early days as a flight attendant. Back then, confidence didn’t come from reading manuals—it came from actually doing the job, shaky hands and all. I see the same pattern now as I step into video creation. The only way to get better is to practice, to take action, and to let myself be seen—even if it feels awkward at first.

I want my creative work to feel effortless and enjoyable. Not because I’m afraid of hard work, but because I believe the right kind of effort should feel aligned and energizing. I’m focusing on consistency, on taking one small step at a time, and on allowing myself to be seen and heard in a way that feels right in my heart… and in my bank account.

Healing, too, is an ongoing process. I’m redefining it as something practical and actionable—daily meditations, moments of prayer, and grounding exercises that bring clarity and calm. It’s about making space for myself and my family to thrive, one day at a time.

Here’s to small steps, big shifts, and the courage to keep moving forward.✨✨✨
