Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Real estate is energy — How your property choices reflect your subconscious beliefs

What if your home wasn’t just bricks and rent—but a reflection of your emotional and spiritual self? Every property you choose mirrors inner beliefs, healing journeys, and old wounds. This isn’t just home-buying advice—it’s a soulful conversation with the spaces that shape your life. Let’s uncover what your real estate energy says about who you are—and who you're becoming. “You don’t choose land. Land chooses you.” We talk about location, budget, Vastu, and square footage. But rarely do we talk about  emotion ,  energy , or  identity  when choosing a home. Strange, isn’t it? Especially when the place you live in influences your mood, career flow, relationships—even your sleep. Most people don’t buy a house. They buy a belief. They rent a story. They inherit a pattern. Very few know it. But you do. Somewhere deep inside, you’ve felt it. That unexplainable pull toward a certain window. That sudden resistance to a perfect listing. That sense that something’s “off”...

Your bank balance is not your worth: healing money identity

Your bank balance is a number — not the measure of your soul. This essay (part one) explores how shame, social comparison, family stories and even the layout of our homes can entwine money with identity. I offer practical rituals, evidence-backed insights and gentle prompts to begin unhooking self‑worth from net worth, and invite you to a deeper journey of healing. This first section opens the wounds, offers immediate practices and sets the lantern: a gentle way out of money‑shame toward permission and peace. Is your bank balance really the story of who you are? Have you ever felt measured by a single screen, a salary slip or a screenshot? I have sat in rooms where the conversation about money quietened every other voice. People lower their tone as if money were a fragile thing — not to be spoken of loud. That hush is not only politeness; it is a protection that keeps shame alive. I write as someone who sits daily with those quiet stories and who believes that language, ritu...
