Mastering the Art of Being Broken was born from a simple, painful truth: we don’t talk enough about grief, trauma, or the quiet ways we survive. I’ve poured my heart into this space as a grief therapist, a writer, and someone who has walked this path myself.

Monarchs
Monarchs revisits a childhood memory where fragile butterflies and family neglect intertwine, exposing how cruelty and silence fracture innocence. The poem will appear in the September 2025 issue of Beyond Words Magazine, an international arts and literature journal showcasing powerful voices and visual storytelling from around the world.
East
Grief has a way of fastening itself to the smallest, strangest details—the way a foot twists, the way clothing doesn’t quite fit, the silence around what cannot be seen. “East” traces how one such detail refused to let go, becoming both an emblem of anguish and a symbol of renewal. It’s a poem about bearing witness to what remains unturned, and how grief can both bloom and coil in the same breath.
