I first wrote Hello, December when I was learning to move through this season without the roadmap of my Christian heritage. I’ve returned to those writings through a deconstructed, spiritually independent lens. December holds grief, memory, beauty, and truth.

Hello, December begins tomorrow.

Women defending Christian patriarchy aren’t harmless outliers. They’re enforcers of a system built on control. Karoline Leavitt is the reminder some women will choose proximity to power over integrity every single time.

For every woman whose male family members joked about her body, shaming her as she matured.
For every woman who feels no one cares when someone says something as cruel and horrible as our President said to a woman reporter.
We see you. We are you.

If you’re feeling wobbly, disconnected, or unsure how to “do” the holidays, you’re not alone.

I created The Gratitude Journey for those seeking meaning without performance, connection without shrinking, and gratitude that comes from truth — not pressure.
If that’s you, you belong here.

I’m here to remind you that your spirituality doesn’t have to be confined to the beliefs you inherited. You’re allowed to reclaim meaning on your own terms.

Raising kids without passing down the harm we endured is important work. It means healing while we parent, unlearning what was forced on us, and giving our children space to grow free from those burdens. I’ll be sharing more about this in my upcoming Lives.

From the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement to Obama to Trump. White Christian rage has never gone away. It’s the throughline of American history, and now it’s standing right in front of us, demanding war against Americans themselves.

A blessing for the rest of us this weekend. May we carry righteous anger, courage, vigilance, and discernment into the days ahead.

Patriarchy has always depended on white women to protect its power.

Laura Loomer’s att@ck on Rep. Jasmine Crockett wasn’t just cruel. It was predictable. Because nothing unsettles patriarchy more than a brilliant, confident Black woman who refuses to shrink.

Protect Black women.

I made my first Venn diagram on Christian nationalism. The overlap? Christians who venerate bigots and those who swear politics isn’t in their faith. History shows they’ll betray neighbors while claiming righteousness. We suspected. Now we know. Find the PDF version on my substack.

I’ll be back to talk about this more later.
For now—sit with these words.

I don’t answer questions that are rooted in control and superiority. If your faith can’t handle people walking away from it, that’s a you problem. Not mine.

Comment: "Which commandment or Jesus teaching do you find harmful exactly. Which one do you need in your life?"

“Women raised us.” Yes and many of us upheld patriarchal values without realizing how much harm we were passing on. But healing means taking accountability, not shifting blame. If you’re still clinging to sexist beliefs, that’s not your mom’s fault anymore.

I’ve waited until now to discuss how many creators I stopped following, mostly who do political commentary, who said we were making too big a deal of project 2025 and felt it was just a distraction to the election. I was dumbfounded by their ignorance.

I always said it’s cute when people say we’ll turn it around after Trump leaves office. Name a place where oligarchs are having legit and fair elections. Now this.
