From My Heart to Yours

When fear leads the way, we grasp at love, security, or certainty — but end up with more lack. The truth? We don’t manifest what we want, but who we are. This blog explores the shift from fear to alignment, with simple practices to focus inward and let life expand.

Not all growth is visible. Beneath the surface, in the quiet seasons, transformation is already taking root. This is the story of trusting the unseen process — of honouring the roots, embracing the cold, and knowing the bloom will come. Even when you can’t see it yet, you are becoming.

There are two quiet weights many of us carry without even realising it: obligation and expectation. In this heartfelt reflection, we explore how these burdens shape our boundaries, silence our intuition, and live within our bodies—and how to begin letting them go, gently and powerfully.

Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting or returning. It’s about release, truth, and reclaiming yourself—especially when it comes to self-forgiveness. In this tender reflection, explore what it really means to let go, grieve what never was, and finally begin to soften toward the one who needs it most—you.

What happens when your silence starts to crack — not with a roar, but a whisper of truth? In this heartfelt guide, Nina shares 7 steps to help you own your voice, speak with courage, and return to the power that was always yours. From quiet discomfort to steady confidence… this is your rise.

What if your wound isn’t something to hide, but something to honour? In this soul-deep reflection, we explore the power of embracing your story, releasing shame, and discovering the quiet medicine hidden within your scars. You are not broken—you are becoming.

What if presence wasn’t a performance—but a return? In this deeply personal reflection, Nina invites you to explore what it really means to sit with presence—beyond perfection, beyond stillness. Through raw moments, poetic truth, and gentle insight, this blog is a love letter to the ordinary courage it takes to simply be. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re already doing it. 💖

You spoke your truth—and they turned away. This is the story of what comes next: the heartbreak, the letting go, and the return to your own light.

This isn’t just about domestic violence. This is about all the ways trauma shapes our voice — especially when it comes to those who’ve hurt us. Because here’s what’s so often forgotten: It starts with love. Not fear. Not violence. Just love — or the hope of it. None of us stepped into those relationships asking to be abused. We were asking to be loved. To be chosen. To be safe. And when pain came instead — we didn’t always leave.

Even as a little girl, I knew what was happening was wrong. I knew it wasn’t supposed to feel like that. I knew I wasn’t supposed to be scared in my own skin. I didn’t have the words, but I had the knowing. That sacred inner compass we’re all born with—that gut feeling, that flutter of resistance—I had that. I just wasn’t allowed to follow it.

There was a time when I believed silence was strength. That swallowing my pain made me resilient. That if I didn’t speak about the hurt, maybe it didn’t really happen. It became my version of safety. But underneath that silence was something even heavier —A fear that if I did speak, no one would believe me. That my truth would be questioned, dissected, dismissed. That I’d be told I was overreacting, exaggerating, or making it up.

For a long time now, I’ve wanted to start a blog. Why? Good question. One I asked myself over and over again—as a form of procrastination, let’s be honest—for months. I love to write, and I believe I have something to say.  Actually, I know I do.  I have quite a lot to say. And over the next few days, months, and years, I’ll do my best to fill the world with what I have to say because— “I was taught to be silent. Now I am teaching myself to speak.”
