The Unexpected Nest: Why I Suddenly Disappeared

I return after an unexpected season of stillness—a time I’ve come to call my cocoon and my nest. I share the story of how burnout, illness, and years of pushing finally brought me to a full-body pause—and what I’ve learned about the sacredness of rest, the quiet power of tending to ourselves, and the beauty that can emerge when we finally stop.
