Firefly Scout Field Notes
This is where I share field notes from the work of navigating a complex, heart-led life, blending personal experience with practical insight.
You’ll find thoughtful essays, practical frameworks, and experience-based guidance — rooted in real life, nervous-system awareness, and pattern noticing.
These aren’t personal diary entries or quick takes. They’re reflections meant to help you orient, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with more clarity and ease.
Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.
