• RealTalk|When What You Bring Is No Longer Valued

• ASipOFlava|A 13-Night Intention

  Between Christmas and the New Year, there is a quiet space where intention matters more than plans. This year, I’m stepping into an old German tradition — writing, releasing, and trusting what remains. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go.

• RealTalk|When Silence Protects the Wrong Thing

  Sometimes silence isn’t peace — it’s protection. When truth goes unspoken out of fear, need, or survival, the wrong thing doesn’t disappear… it settles in. This Tuesday Real Talk is about integrity, reflection, and the quiet cost of staying silent when something needs to change.

• Japanese Women Who Spoke Up: Shidzue Kato

  She spoke when silence was expected. She challenged tradition without abandoning culture. This week, Japanese Women Who Spoke Up honors Shidzue Kato—a woman who believed women deserved agency over their own bodies, choices, and futures, even when it was unpopular and uncomfortable. Her voice mattered then. It still matters now.
