.I did not ask for this.
But I will not look away.

On June 4, 2025, my husband Patrick was murdered in our home while protecting me from a man who should never have been free. A man with a violent record, with open warrants, with a past the city ignored—and a blade in his hand. Patrick died in my arms.There are no metaphors for that. Only blood, memory, and silence.What followed was the unraveling of everything I thought was safe.What I write here is not for spectacle. It is not curated grief. It is not a campaign. It is a reckoning.
With systems. With silence. With myself.
I write because I need somewhere to put it.The grief. The fury. The facts. The failures.I write about public safety because no one else will say the quiet part out loud: that our leaders are protecting power, not people. That our systems are engineered to delay, distract, and discard the victims. That negligence is not a policy—it’s a pattern.I write about trauma in real time. I record podcasts from the dead center of it. Not once I’ve healed, but while I’m trying to.You’ll hear my voice shake. You’ll hear me try to laugh. You’ll hear a woman unlearning how to be agreeable and learning instead how to be impossible.Because being impossible might be the only way anything changes.
This publication is a record.A record of a woman fighting for her own life after the one she loved was taken.
A record of a broken city pretending it’s functioning.
A record of truth-telling in a landscape built on press releases and public amnesia.There is poetry here.
Not the pretty kind. The kind found at the bottom of grief, where language turns feral and light only filters in when you stop pretending you’re okay.There is politics here. But not in the way you’ve seen it.
This is not partisan. It’s personal.
This is about justice that was promised and never delivered.This is about what needs to be said, what needs to be burned down, and what must be rebuilt in its place.
If you're here, I hope it’s because you’re willing to look.Not just at the facts, but at the fractures.
Not just at the grief, but at what it demands of us.Because I am not a victim.
I am what comes after.
And I’m not writing this to be understood.
I’m writing it so no one can say they didn’t know.Welcome to the fight.
Welcome to the fire.Copyright Joe Strecker Productions Espiritualidad

    This is Healing — Dr. Taylor Swint
    Mar 10 2026
    This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I’m just tired,” “maybe I’m not wired for pleasure,” or “this pain must be normal.”

    It’s not. And deep down, you probably know that.

    In this week’s episode of Healthy Clickbait, I’m joined by Dr. Taylor Swintt—pelvic floor physical therapist, strength coach, and currently pregnant (which adds a whole new layer to this conversation). We talk about what no one tells you about your body—especially if you’ve been trained to clench, perform, or disappear altogether.

    You’ll learn:
    – What the pelvic floor actually does (and why Kegels aren’t it)
    – Why most women don’t have low libido—they have bodies that don’t feel safe
    – What painful sex is trying to tell you
    – How chronic bracing is linked to back pain, burnout, and disconnection
    – Why nervous system regulation matters more than any “fix”
    – And how to start reconnecting to your body in a way that actually feels good

    This episode isn’t preachy or heavy. It’s honest, practical, and needed.
    Whether you’re pregnant, perimenopausal, postpartum, never had kids, or just want to feel more at home in your body—this is for you.

    📲 Follow Dr. Taylor Swint on IG: @taswint
    📩 Forward this to a friend who needs to hear it

    You weren’t meant to live disconnected.
    You just weren’t taught how to listen.

  • This is Healing — Mirror Mirror

    This is Healing — Mirror Mirror
    Mar 10 2026
    Let me ask you something.When’s the last time you looked in the mirror... and didn’t check for something wrong?Not to see how your outfit looks, or if there's something in your teeth—but really looked.Eyes locking with your own.And didn’t flinch.Didn’t scan.Didn’t brace yourself for the internal commentary.Most of us don’t realize... we’ve been trained—conditioned—to treat our reflection like a performance review.And every time you pass a mirror, whether you stop or not... a script begins.Mirror, mirror on the wall…You know the rest, don’t you?It’s not just a line from a children’s book. It’s a mantra you didn’t mean to memorize.One that has burrowed so deep into your body, your nervous system responds before your conscious brain does.That question—who is the fairest of them all?—has hijacked us.And not just in how we see ourselves.It’s in how we speak to ourselves.In how we treat others.In what we buy, how we move, and what we’ll do to be accepted.But here’s the part we don’t say out loud enough:It’s meant to hijack us.It’s meant to keep us busy.Insecure.Triggered.Too tired to rise.Too unsure to rest.Too distracted to notice our own power being drained by the hour.This is how the system works.You don’t question your worth when you’re chasing your waistline.You don’t challenge the room when you’re adjusting your shirt.You don’t invest in your ideas when you’ve been trained to invest in your appearance.And the cost?It’s not just money.It’s not just self-esteem.It’s our time.Our voice.Our energy.Our capacity to trust ourselves.It’s the job you didn’t apply for.The photo you didn’t post.The pleasure you didn’t pursue.The conversation you didn’t start.The space you didn’t take up.The dream you shrunk because you didn’t feel ready—or "right."Not because you weren’t capable.But because the mirror made you believe you weren’t enough.And maybe the most dangerous part?It feels like our idea.Today, we’re going there.Because this isn’t about confidence.This is about survival.It’s about the social nervous system—the part of you that will do anything to stay in the tribe, to avoid rejection, to belong.And if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt shame… or desperation… or silence… this episode is for you.Let’s talk about how our bodies were weaponized.Let’s talk about beauty standards, botox, and belonging.Let’s talk about how to see your reflection—and finally recognize yourself.Here’s the thing most people don’t understand.Your body isn’t just how you look.It’s your home.It’s your instrument.And it’s your threat detection system.See, your nervous system is designed to keep you safe. To scan for danger. Not just physical danger—but social danger. Rejection. Exile. Judgment.So when you grow up in a world where beauty is currency, where worth is measured in smoothness and symmetry… you learn—subconsciously—that to be lovable is to be beautiful. And to be beautiful is to be compliant with a standard that you didn’t set.You weren’t born hating your body. You were taught to.You were taught that cellulite is shameful. That soft bellies mean failure. That aging is something to fight.And I’m not here to preach at you from some enlightened pedestal—I’ve bought the creams. I’ve zoomed in on my thighs. I’ve literally rearranged my life around how I felt in a dressing room.You’re not shallow or broken for caring about how you look.You’re just wired like a human being. And that wiring has been hacked.Here’s how it works, neurologically.There’s a part of your nervous system called the social nervous system. It’s part of your autonomic system, and it’s responsible for scanning your environment for social cues.Is it safe to be here?Do they like me?Am I accepted?It’s why you feel shame before you even realize someone’s judging you. It’s why you compare yourself before you’ve finished scrolling. It’s not vanity. It’s biology.And when your social nervous system is constantly triggered by beauty standards that are unattainable, what happens?You stop listening to your body.You start fighting it.You believe if you can just fix the thing—tighten this, smooth that, inject this—you’ll finally feel at peace.But peace doesn’t come from control. Peace comes from safety.And safety doesn’t come from Botox.Or Spanx.Or the perfect lighting.It comes from being able to stay in your body, even when you don’t like what you see.Let’s make it real.You go to the beach, and before your feet even hit the sand, your brain is scanning:What are other women wearing?Do I look OK in this suit?Should I have skipped lunch?That’s not your intuition—that’s your programming.Or you see a photo of yourself at a party and instead of remembering the fun, your brain zooms in on your arms.Or your smile lines.Or the curve of your stomach.That’s not a personality flaw. That’s a ...

  • This is Healing — WTF Is Human Design?

    This is Healing — WTF Is Human Design?
    Mar 10 2026
    Alright. So let’s start with the honest truth: Most of us are walking around with absolutely no idea how our energy actually works.We’re trying to follow someone else’s blueprint—whether it’s a productivity coach, a manifestation influencer, or that person you follow who drinks green juice and does breathwork at 5 AM like their life depends on it.And sometimes it works. But most of the time? You’re just sitting there wondering why your life still feels stuck. Or slow. Or like you’re doing adult life with someone else’s user manual.So today, I want to offer you something else. Something that actually changed how I see myself, how I work, and how I make decisions—in my business, in my relationships, and in my body.This is Human Design. And if you’re new to it—good. I’m going to give you the no-bullsh*t version. Straight from a Generator who’s burned out trying to do it every other way.Get your personalized chart hereSO WHAT IS HUMAN DESIGN?Human Design is your energetic operating system. It’s not a personality test. It’s not a spiritual identity. It’s literally the blueprint of how your body, energy, and frequency move through the world.It pulls from:AstrologyThe I ChingThe chakra systemKabbalahQuantum physics...and combines all that into a chart that looks like your printer glitched on a diagram of The Matrix.You need your birth date, time, and location. That’s it. From there, it shows you:How you make decisionsHow your energy worksWhat you’re here to expressWhat trips you upWhat’s conditioning vs. truthAnd when you start living in alignment with your chart? Life doesn’t get easier, but it gets way clearer. And that’s honestly better.WHO I AM IN HUMAN DESIGNI’m a Generator with Sacral Authority. That means I don’t make decisions from my head. I make them from my gut—which is a wildly inconvenient truth if you, like me, spent years trying to spreadsheet your way to clarity. My body speaks in full-body yeses and absolutely-not no’s. If I override it? Welcome to burnout, bitterness, and silently Googling “how to run away into the woods without ruining your credit score.”I have a Split Definition, which means I often feel like two separate people who both want snacks but can’t agree on what. It also means that the right people connect those parts of me. I don’t need to fix myself—I just need good connection and honest resonance.My Profile is 3/5, and let me tell you, I’ve never met a staircase I didn’t tumble down for the lesson. I don’t just make mistakes—I build condos in them. But I come back with the blueprint, and I teach the climb like a damn mountain goat in good boots. That’s the 5 line—I bring transformation, not because I planned to, but because I lived through it.I’ve got 10-57, 1-8, and 53-42 channels. Translation? I’m a self-trusting intuitive who doesn’t need your permission to create something bold, original, or slightly weird. I know what’s correct, even when I can’t tell you why. And I know how to build things that last. The 53-42 gives me the gift of starting what I can finish, of pacing transformation in a way that doesn’t burn out—mine or yours. I’m not here for quick wins. I’m here for sustainable expansion. Translation? I’m a self-trusting intuitive who doesn’t need your permission to create something bold, original, or slightly weird. I know what’s correct, even when I can’t tell you why. And when I follow it? Things just work.Human Design didn’t tell me who to become. It handed me a mirror and said, “You’ve been powerful this whole time—you just forgot to trust it.”WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUHere’s what I see all the time: People trying to manifest like someone else, heal like someone else, or build a business like someone else—only to feel like they’re failing.But you’re not failing. You’re just trying to live inside someone else’s design.There are Manifestors out here being told to wait for permission. Projectors burning out trying to keep up with hustle culture. Generators forcing themselves through tasks that make their soul feel like a soggy sock.You’re not broken. You’re just... not aligned.Human Design gives you the user manual you didn’t know you needed. It’s not about doing less work. It’s about doing the right work. For you.EXAMPLES FROM THE WILDLet’s say you’re a Projector, and you’ve been trying to hustle like a Generator. You’re gonna end up horizontal with adrenal fatigue and a vague resentment toward all of Instagram.Or maybe you’re a Manifesting Generator who keeps getting shamed for changing your mind every five minutes. That’s not flaky. That’s how you’re built. You’re not indecisive, you’re just a shape-shifter.It’s not your mindset.It’s your mechanics.SO WHAT’S NEXT?This is just part one. In part two, we’re going deeper into the five Types, the Authorities (how your body makes decisions), and the Profiles (...
