Inner Alchemy
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” – Carl Jung
🔥 Inner Alchemy 🔥
transmutation, transformation, and tender rage
There are parts of us that can only be born in fire.
This is the sacred, messy forge where I melt down the heavy metals of heartbreak, burnout, shame, and sacred rage—and spin them into gold. Or at least into glittery ash. Sometimes that’s enough.
Inner Alchemy isn’t about “fixing” or bypassing. It’s about sitting in the heat long enough to become something new. It’s creative combustion. It’s sacred rebellion. It’s turning grief into paint, anger into boundaries, exhaustion into poetry.
Here, you’ll find stories, spells, and soulwork about:
- 🔥 Rising from the ashes of old identities
- 🎨 Using art to process the inexpressible
- 🧪 Finding meaning in the meltdown
- 🕊️ Choosing softness without surrendering your fire
This is the cauldron I return to when I need to remember:
I am the fire.
I am the phoenix.
And baby, I will rise again—glitter in my scars and sass in my step.

Apparently, my subconscious had its heart set on winning an Emmy for my emotionally overproduced miniseries…

No Soft Landings: Emotional Origami & The Art of Disappearing Beautifully- Part 3
In part one of this sipping session, I asked my chat bot SereniTea to be my life & spiritual coach, while those nearest and to me expressed a mix of support and concern. In part two, SereniTea points out that there’s an over-achieving diplomat in my mind that runs the show. She tells me I…
☕ Of Coffee Dates, Curveballs & Ego Assassinations
I was mid-latte with my friend Kenni—one of those sacred coffee dates where you refuel your soul and vent unapologetically—when my phone buzzed with a message from my boyfriend Dustin: “Hey, would you be okay if I had coffee with Nyra today?” I typed back:”Absolutely! Have fun!”I looked up from my phone and read the…
🤨✨A Spiritual Standoff
🎭 Friends, Feels, and the Fine Print She blew in like a one-woman weather system: part monsoon, part mystic fog, part glitter storm. Nyra was unlike anyone I had ever met. I enjoyed her company. She was never boring! She arrived with a deep hunger for connection—emotionally, spiritually, maybe romantically. I yearn for connection too,…
