Hey friend,
This week I’ve been thinking about the men who feel unseen in their pain of loneliness — and how easily that pain gets projected back onto women.
Some of that reflection started after reading Celeste Davis’ piece on male loneliness and watching the video she co-created with Amy from Breaking Down Patriarchy.
They were heartfelt. Deep. Vital — or so I thought.
But just now, I discovered Celeste has blocked me.
Not just on one post.
She removed me as a subscriber.
Blocked me from even reaching out.
No explanation. No conversation. No possibility of collaboration — despite the fact that we’re speaking to the same audience and naming the same systems.
Just flat-out ghosting and silence.
And I’ll be honest: this hits me in the gut.
Viscerally. As I write this.
Is it because I asked her for an interview?
Because I offered a different angle for deeper conversation?
Because I shared my own work with people commenting in ways that felt aligned?
Why would any of that be reason enough to block someone?
Aren’t we — as women setting a new path — supposed to be modeling compassion, conversation, and collaboration?
Aren’t we supposed to be challenging together and growing together?
So why the gatekeeping? The silencing? The disconnection?
The very patterns we say we’re here to unlearn… repeated yet again.
But here’s the truth:
This just confirms that I’m really onto something.
Because if someone as established as Celeste Davis feels the need to shut down and shut out my voice — then that says more about her fears than it does about my worth.
Don’t it?!
Because women who are truly rooted in their power
don’t block the voices of other women.
They welcome them.
So no, patriarchy — you can try to silence me all you want.
But I will always find a way to speak up.
And this week, I have something to say about male loneliness.
It’s vital.
It’s personal.
It’s still worth talking about — even when others try to shut the door.
So I wrote this:

P.S. I have a revamped mini-course live again:
👉 Reclaim Your Feminine Voice
It’s raw, rooted, and made for women untangling from patriarchy and coming home to their bodies.
You’re the one that asked, girl! Lfg.
First of all. Women need to stop blocking anyone—especially each other —because we live in a patriarchal holding tank of surveillance capitalism.
Who are you?
