Spoke Through: Wheel Talk on Love, Trauma, and Transformation

Welcome to Spoke Through — a place where words and silence meet in the turning of a wheel that’s never quite true, and yet always moving.

This blog is born from the work beneath the work — the place where psychology, spirituality, trauma, and transformation weave together with the quiet mystery of simply being alive.

I’ve long been drawn to the metaphor of the wheel — its center, the rim, and the many spokes that hold it all in fragile balance. A wheel is never perfect; it bends, it creaks, it sometimes wobbles. Yet it keeps rolling forward.

Spoke Through is both a nod and a prayer. It nods to the spoke — that slender, often overlooked piece of structure that carries weight and connects us to the whole. It’s also a prayer to the process of speaking through our wounds, our silences, our fears — letting what wants to be heard find its way.

Here, I’ll share reflections from my own journey and from the practice I call Truing the Wheel. It’s about leaning into tension instead of avoiding it, holding the crooked parts with curiosity and care, and discovering what truth sounds like when it’s spoken through imperfection.

This isn’t a place for easy answers or quick fixes. It’s an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and sit with the mystery of what it means to be whole — not by being flawless, but by being fully present.

Thanks for coming along. The wheel’s turning, and the spoke has something to say.
