When one man can drop bombs without asking anyone first, it’s not leadership—it’s a warning.

A warning about how fragile democracy is.
A warning about what happens when power becomes performance.

I don’t know all the political details.
I’m not pretending to be an expert.

But I do know I’m trying to raise children who lead with empathy.
Who know kindness isn’t weakness.
Who don’t confuse violence with strength.

And it’s hard—so hard—when the people running the world keep modeling the opposite.

What do we tell our kids when leaders skip diplomacy and choose destruction?
How do we teach compassion when cruelty is rewarded?
How do we make space for hope in a world that feels like it’s burning?

When this kind of thing happens, I try to remind my kids:
“We don’t have to match the world’s fear or rage. We can choose to stay soft and strong at the same time. We protect others, we speak up—and we don’t forget to feel.”

I don’t have all the answers. But I’m here. Heart open. Eyes clear.
And if anyone wants to sit in a circle and talk—about how we hold onto humanity in moments like this—I’ll make tea. And start fires that light the way instead of burn s**t down

Love,
Cheryl

Big news! I’ve started sharing my deeper thoughts, messy truths, and dragon-waking wisdom over on a new Instagram:

That’s where you’ll find:

Blogs and behind-the-scenes reflections

Farm life + nervous system nerd-outs

Rewilded healing, system-smashing, and maybe a few poetic rants

If you’ve loved what we do here at Mane Source Counseling, I think you’ll love this next chapter too.

The world doesn’t need more compliance. It needs more coherence. It needs more nature. It needs more RHYTHM. Find those natural coherent rhythms around you and dance to them. SING!

For anyone who’s ever built something—a business, a belief system, a family, a following—
and then realized that keeping it alive might mean losing yourself in the process…
this is for you.

Because it’s not supposed to cost you your soul.

I’ve started writing about the deep stuff: grief, rhythm, nervous system truth, and remembering who we are beneath it all.

It’s called Speaking Dragon.

I’ll be posting often (hopefully)—whenever I have something I’d like to connect on.
I’d love for it to feel more like a conversation than just my ramblings.

This is the truth that’s been hiding at the edge of every burnout, every boundary, every breakdown.

If something in you is whispering..."finally—"
then subscribe to the conversation!
