HALF-GUIDED, FULL-HEARTED

a therapy-ish blog for the ones still figuring it out

A gentle corner of the internet for people who are doing their best with what they’ve got - even if the roadmap is more of a sketch on a napkin.

This blog is for the tender-hearted, the self-critical, the ones who overthink texts and under-celebrate their wins. The ones who want to grow but also want a nap. The ones who are trying to be kinder to themselves without rolling their eyes at the word “affirmations.” Here, we explore self-compassion that doesn’t feel cheesy, how to show up for yourself (even when you're tired, anxious, or mad at the world), and the art of resting without guilt.

There’s space here for humor, softness, awkward metaphors, and the real work of unlearning old beliefs. You won’t find rigid routines or pressure to "optimize" your life. Just stories, reflections, and resources to support your process—with heart.

So if you’re half-guided but full-hearted - join the club. Let’s keep figuring it out together.
