Are you a rescuer or a companion? The difference matters


There are moments in life when the weight of emotional pain becomes almost unbearable. Times when even breathing feels like climbing a mountain. Perhaps you've been there – or maybe you're there right now – where well-meaning advice rings hollow and staying positive seems impossible.

In this week's article, “The Power of Companionship: Finding The Light During Your Darkest Moments,” I share deeply personal insights about what we truly need during our darkest moments. It's not solutions or advice we're yearning for – it's genuine human connection.

Drawing from my own experience and years of heart-centered coaching, I offer practical guidance both for those navigating difficult times and those called to be companions for others in pain. You'll discover:

  • Why being present matters more than trying to fix
  • How to reach out when you're hurting
  • The sacred art of holding space for another's pain
  • The difference between being a rescuer and a companion

Yet in our modern approach to meditation, this profound dimension of the heart is often overlooked or forgotten, leaving many spiritual seekers with a...

Hello Reader, Have you ever noticed how your phone has become less of a tool and more of an extension of your body? The subtle weight in your pocket that you check for instinctively. The screen that lights up your face more often than the sun some days. I certainly had—and it troubled me. Not because technology is inherently problematic, but because I sensed something valuable was being displaced in the constant digital exchange. Connection. Presence. The quiet space where creativity and...

Dear Reader, Recently, I came across a story that deeply moved me and challenged my assumptions about spirituality in our modern world. It’s about a teenager who loved pizza and video games, coded websites in his spare time, and is about to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint. This is the story of Carlo Acutis, who wore jeans and Nike sneakers while creating a digital catalog of religious miracles before succumbing to leukemia at age 15. His life wasn’t extraordinary because...
