Behind the Scenes
Welcome to the heart of The Balance of Being—where I share the real, unpolished moments that inspire my work. This space is part journal, part reflection, and part creative laboratory. Here you’ll find the lessons I’m learning, the truths I’m uncovering, and the insights that often evolve into the content and tools I create for others. Think of it as a peek behind the curtain—into the balance, the breakthroughs, and the beautiful messiness of growth.
How Remembering Brings Healing
I remember what it was like to be a drunk and try to hide it behind the nice house, successful business, and going to school to “become more”. It’s exhausting. More poignantly, I remember the guilt and shame of relapse. I remember it when I have the inclination to think that I can have a drink like a normal person. It may start out that way, but it doesn’t stay that way, and before long, I am eyeballs deep in the alcohol and all the neurosis that go along with it.
