sometimes we don’t know what needs to change. we just know it has to get better than this.
i didn’t change until i knew exactly what i wanted out of life. that required me to start liking myself enough to actually care about what i wanted. and i wanted to help people be their favorite selves. and figuring THAT out was only possible through the love given to me by people who truly…

i just want to help the person in front of me.
which is why i became a coach instead of a therapist or a doctor. don’t get me wrong!! i did HIGHLY consider both of those paths, and still consciously decided to choose this path. not because i couldn’t do the work, or because it would take too long, but because the scope is different. coaching…

i thought i didn’t care, evidence points to the contrary
something i’ve noticed over the first week of blogging every day… i’ve recently been of the mind that i really don’t care what other people think i should be doing. but in writing these posts, something that keeps coming up is that i don’t feel like i am “allowed” to do or enjoy certain things.…

life is forever building upon itself.
sometime within the last four years or so, i was taking a shower while my wife sat in the bathroom with me, and we were talking, nothing but the shower curtain between us. we do this a lot. i value my alone time, but when taking a shower, there’s something really special about this time…

how did i get here?
at 30 years old, in december 2022, i had spent basically the entirety of my adult life clinically depressed. i didn’t realize how bad it really was until i was out of it. i have a pretty tenacious habit of intellectualizing my feelings instead of like, feeling and processing them. i get the tingles in…

who i am
so, if i’m gonna stake my claim on my own corner of the internet, it’s probably best that you know who i am? yeah? so yeah. i’m eisley. or salem. i’m good with either, they’re both legally my name. i am an integrative changeworker. a life coach who is still coming around to claiming the…
