This Week's Mindful Morsel 🍪 | October 15, 2025 — hope is punk

Happy good Wednesday 💜

I’ve been giving a lot of intentional energy into what I’m putting into my body lately, specifically how it is or isn’t nourishing me. I’m currently trying to cut way down on processed foods and incorporate more whole foods to see how my body responds, and I have to say that so far, placebo or not, it feels good. 

A big part of that goodness is coming out of making intentional loving decisions about what I want to consume AND how I want to feel after.

To no one’s shock, I’m also extending this into what I’m letting into my psyche and energetic fields. 

Basically, I want to consume all the hope. 

I want it to fill my body and overflow into every heart that surrounds mine. I want to feel solidly into my connection with my own humanity and that of those I’m in relation with. I want to let whatever glimmer of brightness in me has thrived all these years to burn brighter than it ever has, and I want it to be seen and shared.

And I recognize that this requires me to give that same attention I’m giving to food nutrition to other things I’m consuming. 

I’m leaning more and more away from social media, a legit detox and overhaul process, and I’ve been trying to fill myself with more nourishing things — creative projects I’ve mentioned, people and adventures I find joyful, and specific books and media I find mentally and emotionally yummy. 

There is a lot of talk out there about living off the screen, and if you’d like a gentle nudge of inspiration, check out this video that’s a hot reminder that we’re people — not numbers and likes and algorithmic feeds. We’re real live people with lungs and hearts.

I’d also like to recommend the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. We’re currently reading this book at bedtime in my house, and it’s wonderfully hopeful. The main theme is finding purpose and a way to endure that’s rooted in how we dream of the future — how hope feeds us — even in the bleakest of circumstances.

TLDR - hope is punk AF and I’m on a mission to spread it.

With gratitude and good energy,
