If a single text can ruin your whole day…
If one sideways comment can drop you into a spiral…
If silence from someone you care about feels like the end of the world…
It doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It doesn’t mean you’re “too sensitive.”
It sure as hell doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means there’s a whole chain inside you—ancestry, culture, nervous system, story, identity—firing off so fast you barely have time to breathe before you’re already in the reaction.
Most of us were never taught that. We were just handed the fallout and told to “calm down” or “toughen up.”
For a long time, I watched myself and other people react like their entire life was on fire over “small” things:
- A look across a room
- A delay in a reply
- A bill in the mail
- A tone we couldn’t quite name but felt in our bones
And under all of that, I started to see something:
We are running emotional recipes that were written long before we ever had a say.
By our families.
By our cultures.
By the things we survived.
By the gods and ghosts and stories we grew up with.
Those recipes once kept somebody alive.
Now they might be wrecking your relationships, your recovery, your peace—and still telling you they’re “protecting” you.
So I wrote a book about it.
Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes
It’s called Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes: Ancestry, Belonging, and the Emotional Patterns That Shape Your Life.
It’s a 142-page, myth-infused ebook + workbook that does one thing really well:
It shows you what’s actually happening inside you when “something small” happens—and you feel everything.
Inside, we walk through the whole chain:
- What actually happened “out there”
- What your senses and imagination did with it
- The emotional “weather” you were already carrying—your Mood Ring
- The deep Well of the Self: ancestry, culture, old messages, old wounds
- How your body turns story into chemistry (heart rate, breath, muscle tension, shutdown)
- How your Recipe Card names the feeling—and what that label forces you to do next
- How your Me Gate decides what this means about who you are
- How your inner scribe files the whole thing as a story that will shape your future reactions
Then, in Part II – THE FORGE, you get a full workbook to walk your real life through that chain:
- Everyday incident logs
- Prompts to catch patterns you’ve never seen clearly
- Space to experiment with new emotional “recipes” you actually want to live by
No fluff. No “just be positive.” No pretending your past doesn’t matter.
Just a clear map, real questions, and a mythic frame that honors how deep this work actually goes.
Why Now?
We’re moving toward the dark part of the year—the time people used to gather close, tell the hard stories, and decide what they didn’t want to carry into the next turning of the wheel.
This is a good time to say:
“Some of the emotional recipes I inherited end with me.”
You don’t have to fix everything at once.
You don’t have to become a totally new person by next week.
You just have to be willing to:
- See one pattern more clearly
- Offer your body a little less shame and a little more understanding
- Start forging one new emotional recipe in the quiet of your own life
