Not everyone makes that choice. I say that with deep compassion – because I’ve seen how trauma can settle into someone’s bones and never quite let go. Trauma leaves a unique mark on each of us – yet, a scar just the same. We may grow up in the same environment, witness the same outbursts,
We often think that communication means speaking – sharing our thoughts, opinions, or stories. But what if the deepest form of connection wasn’t found in our words…but in our willingness to withhold them? “Listen” and “Silent” share the same letters, and perhaps no accident. Because it’s in the stillness – when we pause, breathe, and
I came across a video today. At first, I laughed – actual out-loud laughter. The kind of laughter that rises from your toes and rumbles up your torso before landing in your mouth. Full-on laughter. It felt good at first, as I thought, “Oh, he did not just say that,” – hand over my mouth.
About two years ago, I stopped obsessing over my diagnosis and started focusing on the presentations – the symptoms themselves. Instead of sitting in fear over what the doctors named it, I began to ask deeper questions: I dove into research – books, case studies, nutrition science, trauma recovery, gut-brain connections, neuroinflammation.

There’s a little girl in our world whose strength humbles me daily. Her name is Ezra Vivianna. She is five years old, diagnosed with ONH and lives with blindness, autism, and is battling a life-threatening, complex seizure disorder. Ezra doesn’t run to the world the way other children do – she listens to it. She
