Emotional power is rooted in self-awareness. It’s not about silencing the tides within you, nor is it about letting them crash unchecked over everything in their path. It’s about mastering the waves, riding them, working with them, honoring them.

When I first began feeling the pull of the ocean, I didn’t recognize it for what it was. There was no dramatic awakening. No big spell by the sea. Just a quiet tug. Like something ancient calling me home.

There’s a reason the sea has always been associated with mystery, danger, and raw power and the siren at its center knows all three intimately. She is not afraid to sing. And neither are you.

There is something terrifying about being seen. Not just looked at, but truly seen. As you are. With all your quirks, all your edges, all your light. Being seen means you’re no longer curating or hiding or rounding yourself out to fit what someone else thinks is palatable. You’re just… you. Unfiltered. And that takes guts.
