I Am Afraid Of Geniality: A Conversation With Kali.

This is terrifying to me -- that the word geniality could have had such an impact on my self-understanding. I realize that kindness is a very real fear for me, and it’s not because I don’t wish to be a kind person -- some days it’s easier than others -- it’s because by being kind I open myself ...

Take Off The Emotional Armor: Grow Organic Boundaries.

We must be exposed to grow new tissue, new life. When we have a wound in our body, no matter how deep it is, at some stage of the healing process we have to take off the bandages and expose it to the light. Then, the wound can heal, give birth to new cells, fresh and invigorating.

The Goddess Is Not ‘Cute’.

Do I want to be the weird one who corrects people when they compliment me? Do I want to be that asshole who thinks it’s her job to teach everyone a thing or two? How can I hold my truth without thinking I need to rub it in everyone’s face?

I’m Not Saying That Eating Ants Is Sexy: Ode To The Wild & Free Female.

Your choices -- down to what you eat in the morning, to how you honor your body, to the sex you don’t have, to the run you choose to take, to the money you make and the money you don’t make, to the zone of comfort you choose to step out of -- those choices are your lifeline to change.
