When Justice Falters, Courage Must Rise

They passed the bill. Now we pass the threshold. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about the future we’re shaping. Real independence asks us to respond, not retreat. The question is no longer what now? It’s will you show up for what matters?

The Ache & the Aliveness

A midsummer note for anyone living in the questions. There’s a certain kind of ache that doesn’t mean something’s wrong—it means something is waking up.

Lately, I’ve been feeling a restlessness that doesn’t want to be solved. It wants to be listened to. There’s something stirring under the surface of my life, something tender and wild, something that feels more like ripeness than confusion.

In this midsummer letter, I’m writing from the edge—where grief meets joy, where the ache opens into aliveness, and where the questions are louder than the answers. It’s not a polished reflection. It’s a real one.

If you’ve been feeling a shift you can’t quite name…If you’re finding yourself more tender than usual…If you’re living between clarity and becoming…This letter is for you.

To the One Who’s Still Willing to Feel in a Country That Keeps Choosing Force

This weekend, war was chosen again—with devastating ease. In moments like this, many of us feel the pull to harden, to turn off the news, to numb out. But what if the most courageous act we can offer isn’t disconnection—it’s presence?

In this raw and timely letter, intuitive coach and writer Tonyalynne Wildhaber explores how emotional resilience, grief literacy, and revolutionary tenderness offer us a path forward when force and domination are once again chosen on the world stage. What if our culture’s obsession with control is really a fear of intimacy? What if war is a symptom of our refusal to stay with what hurts?

This letter is a call to root before we rise. It is a reckoning, a prayer, and a reminder that real power comes not from numbness—but from staying soft when the world tries to harden us.

To the One Who has a Complicated Relationship to Their Father

Some relationships aren’t clean. They’re layered, nuanced, and hard to define. Especially when it comes to fathers. Whether your father was emotionally unavailable, physically absent, or simply unable to meet you with tenderness—this letter is for you. It names the ache. It holds the grief. And it reminds you: your worth was never determined by what he could or could not offer. Read the full letter: To the One Who Has a Complicated Relationship to Their Father

To the One Who’s Trying to Understand the Kind of Love They Long For

Most of us learned to accept versions of love that left us thirsty—rationed, rushed, or wrapped in performance. But real love doesn’t make you beg. It meets you in your longing and stays. In this letter, we explore the ache of wanting more, the courage it takes to name what we truly need, and the moment we stop shrinking our hunger to match what was never meant to fill us.

To the One Who’s Weighing the Risk of Change but Forgetting the Cost of Staying the Same
