My core work values and truths

Work values

1. Integrity over performance

I will not contort my truth to be status quo. I’d rather be honest than impressive.

“If it costs me my wholeness, it’s too expensive.”

2. Slowness as wisdom

I move at the speed of clarity, not urgency. Slowness is not laziness — it’s reverence.

“I don’t rush what’s sacred.”

3. Beauty in the overlooked

The sacred lives in small moments, awkward pauses, chipped mugs, marginalized communities, and liminal places.

“I build from the places most people ignore.”

4. Embodiment as truth-telling

My body holds the story — not my CV, not my output, not my performance.

“What the body knows is often more honest than what the mouth says.”

5. Quiet as a stance

Silence is not absence. Privacy is not hiding. I speak with intention, not volume.

“I don't need to shout to be relevant.”

Work truths

1. You don’t have to perform to belong.

Wholeness is not earned by perfection or visibility. You were always enough.

2. Grief and softness can be forms of leadership.

There is wisdom in slowness, sorrow, and care. These are not weaknesses — they are blueprints.

3. Systems need soul.

Healing, leadership, therapy, and art must be reshaped by those who feel deeply — not just those who manage well.
