Have you ever been given advice by someone older, only to realize it felt like something you’d already outgrown? Or perhaps it just didn’t resonate, like there was a gap between what they knew and what you needed? Many people assume age brings wisdom, but does it? Or is it something deeper that truly shapes us?

In this blog post, you’ll learn…

• Why experience and age aren’t always synonymous with wisdom

Have you ever had a moment where you arrive somewhere and realize you don’t remember how you got there? It’s as if your mind was on autopilot the entire time. In that moment, it hits you that most of your day-to-day life can feel like this—just going through the motions, with little conscious awareness of what’s happening in your mind. You might wonder how often unconscious thoughts are guiding your choices, shaping your reactions, and ultimately directing your life.

This feeling of being on …

Let’s start with a relatable question: Have you ever pushed through a headache, convinced yourself you were just tired when you felt drained, or shrugged off that nagging pain in your back? We’ve all been there—rationalizing that our bodies are just “being difficult” or that we can handle it later. It’s easy to fall into the habit of ignoring our body’s signals, especially when we’re focused on being productive or dealing with life’s many responsibilities.

Have you ever found yourself caught in the belief that loving yourself means doing it all alone? That somehow, to truly love yourself, you have to cut off your need for others and be completely independent? It’s a common idea we hear — “You’re better off on your own. You don’t need anyone else to succeed.” But is that really the truth of self-love, or is it just another way we distance ourselves from the very connections that can heal us?

Picture this: you're having a good day, your mood is light, and then suddenly, someone close to you—maybe a partner or a family member—comes into the room in a state of high emotion. Maybe they’re anxious, angry, or stressed. Before you even realize what’s happening, your own mood starts to shift. You can feel your calmness slipping away, and now, you’re reacting to their emotional state. Sound familiar? It's as if their emotions have jumped onto you without you even knowing it. This is a pe…

In recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift toward focusing on “being.” We hear it everywhere—“Just be,” “You’re enough as you are,” or “Embrace the present moment.” These messages have become powerful mantras, especially in wellness and spiritual communities. And while these ideas carry important truths, have you ever felt like there’s almost a rejection of “doing”? Maybe you’ve even felt guilty for wanting to take action or pursue goals because it seems at odds with the message to sim…

Have you ever found yourself reacting to a situation in the same way, over and over again, even when you know it doesn’t serve you? Maybe it's a familiar feeling of frustration in traffic, or perhaps it’s the way you withdraw during a conflict with a loved one. You tell yourself you'll handle it differently next time, but when the moment comes, you're stuck in the same reaction. Why does this happen?
