New Beginnings, Series Writing, and What’s Ahead for Blackbird Diaries


 

After a stretch of deep work behind the scenes, I’m thrilled to be back at the helm of Blackbird Diaries. You’ll start seeing regular blog updates again, some as stand-alone reflections and others as part of ongoing series. I’ve been holding a lot in the creative cauldron, and now it’s time to start pouring it out.

What to Expect: Series + Standalone Posts

Several posts will be published in series form, each one clearly titled to reflect which series it belongs to and its order in the lineup. These are designed to walk you through a bigger theme or concept one step at a time as bite-sized pieces that add up to deeper insight. You’ll still see occasional one-off posts as well, for the moments that don’t need a full series but still deserve a voice.

Every post that’s part of a series is also being recorded for the Blackbird Diaries podcast. But I know many of you prefer to read, reflect, and revisit ideas in writing, so I didn’t want to make you wait. The written versions will always be here for you first.

Behind the Curtain: What Else is Brewing

In addition to returning to the Diaries, I’ve got a number of projects underway through Elder Tree Coaching. These include new online courses, coaching programs, and tools designed to support your shadow work journey, spiritual development, and personal transformation. It’s a creative season—equal parts inspired and intense—and I’m excited to finally start sharing what’s been in the works.

Your Voice Matters

As always, I welcome your thoughts, questions, and ideas. If there’s a topic you’d love to see explored whether it’s about shadow work, sacred feminine lineage, ancestors, or just navigating life with more clarity and grit, reach out. This is an ongoing conversation, and your presence here means the world.

Thank you for walking with me. More soon.

The Power of Self-Talk: Harnessing Your Inner Dialogue for Positive Change

Image
  In the realm of personal development, one of the most influential yet overlooked aspects is our self-talk—the constant chatter that goes on in our minds. Self-talk is the inner dialogue we engage in throughout the day, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can be either empowering or destructive, shaping our perception of ourselves and the world around us. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of self-talk, its impact on our lives, and how to harness its power to foster positive change. Understanding Self-Talk Self-talk is a fundamental part of being human. From the moment we wake up until we go to bed, we have an ongoing conversation with ourselves. This internal dialogue is shaped by various factors, including past experiences, belief systems, and the environment we are in. The two main types of self-talk are positive and negative. Positive self-talk involves encouraging, supportive, and optimistic thoughts. It boosts self-confidence, resilience, an...

Sometimes You Just Have to Say F*k It

Image
  Timing is everything, and seldom do we have a say in the most profound coincidences. Perhaps because there is no such thing as coincidence. Every event in life is a deeply orchestrated conspiracy of miniscule, spur-of-the-moment decisions and intricately timed occurrences leading to exactly one outcome out of millions of possibilities. Usually these possibilities were, up until moments ago, completely impossible. But we are human and constantly in search of control, feeding the need to believe that we can orchestrate our futures through detailed contemplation and cautious planning, when in reality, it’s the “Fuck it” moments that lead us to the truth of our own existences. We map out our next steps, figure we have everything lined up to meet that next goal, or experience, when in reality, sometimes we need to burn the map and trust our instincts. Case in point, from my own experience, the unplanned events and knee jerk reactions have not only had the greatest impact in my life bu...

Anxiety and That First Healthy Relationship

Image
  Some days the anxiety wins. It took me more than fifty years to understand the grip it has on me. Not “had”. The bastard doesn’t give up easily and at times it is so impossible to tell the lies it tells from actual red flags. That’s how it wins. And God help anyone who loves a person with crippling anxiety. We can trust you 100%, but we are convinced that something better than us will come along and will convince ourselves that you deserve that better thing, just waiting for the news that you’ve moved on. If there isn’t a better option, the next lie is that we are too much work, and we wouldn’t blame anyone for getting tired of the constant need for reassurance. Especially when we do know better because we shouldn’t need it. Yet we do. Our practical, analytical minds know every reason and recall every act that disproves the lies, yet the bastard can use those same facts to drive anxiety higher. There are good days, we are confident in our situation yet one small thing trigger...
